A few days ago, a patient asked me: “Dr. Fan, do you believe in blood type? I have blood type O, and other blood types can be used. I will donate more blood in the future!”
When it comes to a person’s blood type, in addition to blood transfusions, we also think of birth dates and zodiac signs. It is quite common to say that constellation determines personality and blood type determines personality. Many people, especially young people, believe this statement. Some people say that blood type not only determines a person’s personality, but also determines a person’s lifespan. Is this statement reasonable?
Is blood type related to longevity?
Maybe it matters, but not so much. The relationship between them can even be said to be negligible.
Life is affected by many factors, such as diet, living habits, social environment, mentality, genetics, etc. Even luck can have a more or less impact on lifespan. less impact. It cannot be arbitrarily said that life expectancy has nothing to do with blood type, after all, blood type has a certain impact on health. However, blood type has little effect on life expectancy. It is unreasonable to think that blood type determines life expectancy, which undoubtedly exaggerates the role of blood type.
Many people think that people with type A blood do not live long, but in Japan, there are more people with type A blood in Japan. However, Japan is the longest-lived country in the world, with tens of thousands of people over the age of 90. So blood type does not determine life expectancy.
A, B, O, AB, which blood type is more likely to live longer?
Instead of judging which blood type lives longer, let’s put it another way—What are the obvious health conditions of the four blood types: A, B, O, and AB difference?
- Type A blood is more viscous and more prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems .
People with blood type A are generally cautious and prone to anxiety. Therefore, people with type A blood are more likely to have mental problems than people with other blood types. In addition, people with type A blood are also prone to gastrointestinal problems. People with blood type A are relatively in poor health, so they should keep exercising and eating healthy.
- People with blood type B are generally optimistic and cheerful, and are most likely to gain weight and have high blood sugar.
B blood is the most fattening of the four blood types. These people generally have a better stomach, can eat more, are prone to gain weight, and are more prone to hyperglycemia.
- O blood type is universal blood. Its blood coagulation ability is poor, and it is not easy to coagulate in the body when transfused to other blood types.
As a universal blood type O blood, it is actually more likely to appear than other blood types blood problems. The survey found that the proportion of type O blood is slightly higher than that of the other three blood types in long-lived people, so type O blood is considered to be the most likely to live longer and the healthiest blood type.
- AB type, which has both the characteristics of type A and type B. People with type AB have poor stomach, poor digestion, and have a slight chance of heart problems. high.
AB people are prone to mood swings Poor stomach, poor digestion, slightly higher chance of heart problems.
