Does Your Blood Type Put You At Risk For COVID-19?

New research is showing that your blood type may impact your risk of COVID-19. Dr. Neal Barnard joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about which types have the highest risk of developing severe symptoms. He also discusses whether you should change your eating habits depending on your blood type.

Plus, Dr. Jim Loomis discusses a new study looking at whether a person can become reinfected by COVID-19 after recovery. Scientists have made a discovery about antibodies produced by the virus.

And the doctors will answer your questions!

I love white beans on whole grain english muffins for breakfast. Sometimes I top it with smoky tempeh 😋

[LongevityDiva]

Oh yeah. Love beans for breakfast, but honestly sometimes eat them every meal. My favorite is eat them with potatoes and salsa❣

[alwaysneedlearn]

I'm an athlete and always work out in the mornings, but I don't like protein poweder so I've learned to incorporate beans in my breakfast EVERY day... from a flatbread that includes banana, corn and beans to salads with chickpeas and sweet potato or even my pea/walnut pesto with lentil noodles.

What about type B and AB???

Also my dad had Type O, was lean and athletic, and died at age 60 of a sudden heart attack. He ate a SAD diet, fairly healthy for a SAD diet but nonetheless, he never tried a WFPB diet. He’d probably be alive today if he did. So sad. It’s important for O-types to know they’re not immune from heart disease because of their O-blood type!

What's the point of knowing that your blood type makes you more vulnerable if you can't do anything about it?? It just makes us folk with A blood more stressed and anxious which can't be good for our immune system.

What about types with a positive or negative ?

I watched Dr. Bernard talking about nutritional yeast immediately before turning on the podcast. May I ask if it’s OK to eat the fortified with folic acid Nutritional Yeast or better unfortifed.

[Paulieboiu]

If you crave junk food, I recommend reading the ingredients list to dissuade you from eating them; it works for me every time.

Thank you, this podcast is wonderful. Vegan For Life❤️

What food group do mushrooms fall in? They do not fall in one of the 4 food categories: vegetables, whole grains, fruits, & beans. Do we need a 5th food group?

[CBL-ifjr]

P l e a s e, make a podcast about the *research about the existance of essential nutrients in the grounds, soils nowadays in comparison to 100 years ago.* As plants can only get nutrients from the ground/soils this is a logical & decisive question.

*Please, Chuck, ask the doctors to go into reasearch about such studies.*
This is a h u g e request from Berlin 🇩🇪.

[CBL-ifjr]

Omega 3 - from *algea* - *why* should that be a problem? Dr.Dirk Wiechert (in 🇩🇪) : *Everyone s h o u l d eat 2 grams of omega3 to get all the DHA and EPA for our brains and eyes* My product is plant- based : algea 😉🤗

[Cindy-ci]

What about AB negative blood ? Since there isn't any antibodies?

[miriamdecker]

Also if struggling with depression during the pandemic I am taking omega 3. Is there anything else I can do? I am just one month in a plant based diet.

[emmyandrew]

Thank you for sharing hm, I think I have type o

[JeeJubee]

I’m 65 this year, type 0+, only got flu once in my life 1985, never even get colds. Never had a flu shot once. Worked every day of my life, always around people. Taught elem school for years. Never occurred my blood type might be protecting me. Fingers crossed.

[mmraike]

What can I do to further protect myself from covid-19 as a blood type A vegan, who is also already maintaing social distancing and face covering protocols?

[emmyandrew]
