These are the five things that your blood type is saying about your health
Your blood type is telling something about your health (memory, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, heart disease, ulcers) and here are the five things you should know about it.
MEMORY
According to the article from Health Choice, people with type AB blood are more prone to cognitive impairment. A certain study from the University of Vermont stated that 82 percent of people with this type of blood are more likely to develop memory problem that will eventually lead to dementia.
STOMACH CANCER
Those with type AB blood are also prone to stomach cancer. People with this type of blood have a 26 percent higher risk of developing this disease. H pylori is a bacteria responsible for this effect. According to HC, a large proportion of the world’s population carries this in their gut, but persons with type AB blood have an extremely reactive immune system to this.
PANCREATIC CANCER
People with type O blood are 37 percent less likely to develop pancreatic cancer. Again, the bacteria in the gut, H pylori, is responsible for this effect. However, the type of blood is just affecting the risk to some extent but still, the major factor depends on your lifestyle.
HEART DISEASE
People with type O blood have a 60% lower risk of heart diseases as compared to the rest. Research from the Harvard School of Public Health supported this.
ULCERS
The bacteria that increases stomach cancer risk in people with type AB blood also affects the risk of ulcers in people with type O blood. Based on the article, substances that are found in people with this type of blood modify the body’s response to the bacterium, however, it is unclear how it is done.
