Have you ever wondered if what you ate the day before you played had any affect on your performance? Well, it might. The latest research proves that what you eat might have a direct effect on the way you feel, how healthy you are, and whether your mind works at its peak capacity or not.

In his landmark 3 million copy bestseller, Eat Right 4 Your Type, Naturopathic Doctor Peter D’Adamo shows that the food we eat should depend on what our various blood types are. Since there are four blood types, there are four totally different eating plans. Your own individual blood type determines the way you absorb nutrients and handle stress. But what does this Naturopathic approach to healthy living have to do with the game of craps?

Let’s find out!

The foods that you eat chemically combine with your blood. There are some foods that combine better than others. And some foods do not combine at all. In fact, some are actually harmful to your body, depending on which blood type you have.

Athletes have tested this out and found it to be a success, and some gamblers have as well. By eating properly (according to your blood type) a few days before you play, you too can maximize your body’s efficiency, power and stamina. If you think, feel and react better, then you’ll play better.

But, since everyone has different blood types, we all must eat different foods to optimize our body’s processes. There are only four main blood types: A, B, AB and O. Here are some very basic food suggestions for each of them.

Blood Type O

• Eat meat (high protein, low carbohydrates)
• Do not eat any grains (bread, pasta, most desserts)

Blood Type A

• Eat vegetables (high carbohydrates, low fat)
• Do not eat any red meat (beef, ham, liver or pork)

Blood Type B

• Eat a varied diet that includes vegetables, meat and eggs
• Do not eat any corn, lentils, peanuts or wheat products

Blood Type AB

• Eat soy products, seafood, dairy products and green vegetables
• Do not eat any meat, beans, seeds, corn or wheat

Of course, you should always consult a doctor before trying any diet. But if you do try this diet for a week or two and you feel better, think better, lose a pound or so and most important, win more money at craps, then you might want to make it permanent!

So, have you ever wondered if what you eat has a bearing on how you play?

Well, now you know!

And, as always, good luck at the tables!
