For Several years now, Morten follows up Dr Peter D’Adamo theory.

Indeed, this one is the author of a best seller called « Eat Right 4 your type ». In that book, Peter D'Adamo makes a persuasive argument that your blood type is an evolutionary marker that tells you which foods you'll process best, and which will be useless calories.

He covers the entire range for each of the four blood types,from entrées to condiments and seasonings,and also makes type-specific exercise and lifestyle
recommendations.

Morten Harket is blood type O+. Let’s stop on that blood type for a while..

Blood Type O and its origin :

Type O is the oldest and the most common type. About 40,000 BC our ancestors in southern Africa had weapons and tools and they hunted in packs. They were hunter-gatherers, who thrived on meat, which led to their digestive characteristics. In time, hunting grounds became depleted of big game. To survive, the human race migrated to northern Africa. Eventually good hunting there was eliminated leading to migration out of Africa into Europe and Asia. Thus, the basic population of the planet was type O for "old." In time, depletion of large game in Europe and Asia occurred so different kinds of food were needed. Our ancestors survived on berries, small game, nuts, grubs, and fish. Overpopulation by early man led to increasing competition for the remaining meat, which led to war and further migration.

Morten’s ex-girlfriend, Anne Mette Undlien, has been making her own bread for a while based on Spelt Flour to replace Wheat which must be banned for O Blood types. Anne Mette’s bread can be found in every Hansen Bakery in Oslo. (30 Kr)
