Many of us would never consider our blood type a determining factor in health, but scientists are beginning to see specific tendencies relating to blood types. However, the scientific data reviewed considers mainly<\/b> <\/span><\/span>types O or A<\/span> because <\/span>types B and AB<\/span> represent less than 15% of the population. WV found this data fascinating. <\/span><\/p>\n

Heart:<\/span> Type O<\/strong><\/span> enjoys a lower risk of heart disease. In fact, type O individuals may live longer because of their tendency toward better cardiovascular health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brain:<\/span> Type AB<\/strong><\/span> shows a higher risk of stroke and relatively more risk of developing memory problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Circulation:<\/span> Type O<\/strong><\/span> shows less risk of developing deep-vein blood clots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Diabetes:<\/span> Both blood types A and B<\/strong><\/span> have a higher likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Digestive system: <\/span>Type O<\/span><\/strong> has been shown to have a higher risk of peptic ulcers. Type A and, to a lesser extent, type B show a greater propen-sity for developing stomach problems because of higher rates of H. pylori<\/i> infection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Infection:<\/span> The parasite that causes malaria has difficulty attaching itself to type O<\/strong><\/span> blood cells, providing some protection against the disease. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fertility:<\/span> Type O<\/strong><\/span> has a greater likeli\u00ad-hood of having difficulty conceiving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stress:<\/span> Type A<\/span><\/strong> people have more difficulty managing stress because of naturally higher levels of blood cortisol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
