Characteristics & Blood Type
Some people believe that your astrological sign can reveal your personality character and that reading your horoscope can predict your destiny. But many believe that the clues to people’s character and future lie not in the stars but in their blood type. Some company has used it to evaluate job applicants. Dating services consult blood types to pair couples. So, is blood type just a fortune-telling fashion in world, or does it really reveal something about you?
Blood is made of the same components–red blood cells (oxygen-transporting cells), white blood cells (infection-fighting cells), platelets (factors that help blood clot), and plasma (the fluid that carries blood cells)–but not all blood is alike. Everyone has one of four possible blood types: A, B, AB, or O. Humans’ different blood types depend on the presence of molecules, called antigens, attached to the surface of red blood cells. Blood type is one way people share information about each other. It also generates a sense of knowledge with people whom you might otherwise not get to know on a first-person basis.
The theory that blood type is linked to personality (and other mental and physical qualities) is popular mainly in Japan, though it has carried over to Taiwan and South Korea. It was started by the Germans in 1901, who, after the discovery that certain races are more likely to be predominantly of certain blood types—such as Asians being more likely than other races to be type B—used the theory to "scientifically" explain Aryan genetic superiority.
The theory experienced a popular resurgence in 1927, when Takeji Furukawa, a professor at Tokyo Women's Teachers School, published a paper entitled "The Study of Temperament Through Blood Type" in the journal Psychological Research. After failed militaristic and social experiments, the unscientific nature of the theory was widely understood, and it lost popularity during the 1930's. It was revived again in 1971 by Masahiko Nomi's book Understanding Affinity Through Blood Type. Nomi was a lawyer and journalist with no medical training or background. Despite Nomi's lack of scientific proof, anecdotal basis, and unclear methods, as well as constant attacks on the theory from the medical and psychological communities, the theory is still very popular in Japan. Japanese celebrities frequently include their blood type in their profiles, along with age and hobbies. It is frequently included in character descriptions in manga, television shows, and video games. Apart from the more standard services, Japanese matchmaking services frequently include blood type as a consideration. It is also common for people to exchange their blood types when meeting, and some consider it unusual for a person not to know Every Japanese celebrity writeup and every anime character description with any claim to authority gives the person's (or character's) blood type. Why? Because, thanks to a remarkable bit of Science! by a gentleman named Furukawa Takeji, the Japanese believe that a person's blood type affects their personality.

Origins
It can be argued that one of the three alleles is ancestral to the other two. For example, the origin of the O allele, and subsequently blood type O, is simply the result of the deletion resulting in a loss of function of glycosyltransferase activity for the A antigen. A mutation resulting in the loss of function in a protein, at best, would be a "nearly neutral" mutation since blood type O does not appear to have any deleterious effects or selective advantage over the other two blood types.
Famous Type Os
Elvis Presley, Prince Charles, Al Capone, and Queen Elizabeth.
Health
Individuals of Type O blood have the thinnest blood, strongest immune systems, strongest stomach acids, and live the longest of all the blood types. Type Os are however, prone to digestive disorders, more susceptible to arthritis, and thyroid disease due to an overactive immune system. Foods such as wheat and dairy also promote inflammation for this blood type that can trigger an imbalance in immunity.
Nutrition
Type O is the oldest blood type in which people hunted for their food to survive focusing a predominant meat diet. Type O’s are encouraged to eat lean red meats and poultry but limited in dairy products, grains (wheat is high on the list to avoid) and legumes. Although this nutrition is high in animal protein, the type O requires intense physical exercise to help burn off the meat.

People with the Type O blood group, are said to be creative, confident and, they enjoy being the center of attention. Type O's are also outgoing and very social, though mostly initiators, they may never get to finish what they start.You want to be a leader, and when you see something you want, you keep striving until you achieve your goal.

Origins
The first mutation from blood type O was blood type A. A blood types came about when people started to migrate to places which had no animals present to feed from or were not abundant. Since type A mutated from type O, this blood type is very similar to type O and can eat many of the same animal proteins that can be consumed by blood type O.

The type A is a more of a vegetarian diet. It is the second blood type to evolve as populations settled into agrarian lifestyles. People living in those areas have adapted and evolved due to the demographics. Type A's are advised to consume legumes, beans, cereals, fruits, vegetables, and small amounts of dairy products but eliminating all meats. The type A individual hardly produces much hydrochloric acid and does poorly on meat and dairy as a result. So, Type A’s are recommended to not eat red meat, he/she should also refrain from intense exercising and focus more on yoga, meditation and stretch classes. The reason is that type As consume fewer calories in general when they are not eating meat. There is gene for alcoholism found in Type A’s.

Blood type A and B evolved because of a change in our environment but blood type AB did not.

Nutrition
Blood type AB is referred to as enigmas because it combines a Type A and Type B diet requiring meat but in fewer portions. This is the rarest and newest blood type to evolve and it is best adapted to a moderate diet. Type AB people benefit from a combination of A and B type nutrition. They are allowed to eat some meat and dairy products. Type AB’s can have a limited portion of wheat products, most fruits and vegetables.
