There are four main blood groups; A, B, O and AB.

On many occasions, people are unaware of the emergence of some conditions. In most cases, these are due to the lifestyle that one leads, to hereditary characteristics and, although many do not believe it, to the blood group to which one belongs.
Regarding blood groups, Medline Plus explain what “The blood is Rh positive or Rh negative. So if your blood type is A, you are either A positive or A negative. Your blood type is important if you need a blood transfusion. And your blood factor can be important if you get pregnant, because a mismatch between your blood type and your baby’s can create problems.”
As emphasized, belonging to a certain blood group can make a person susceptible to some conditions. For example, one group is more prone to high blood pressure and insomnia.
In this sense, according to a study titled Main diseases according to blood group in the population over 60 years of age in the province of Cuenca (Spain)published in science, “Rh positive groups suffer more from AHT (hypertension), insomnia and depression than Rh negatives”.
The mentioned study also concluded that “groups A and O suffer greater cholesterol increase than those of group B. Those of group O have more HTA than the rest and the O+ suffer a higher percentage of anemia (Fe), while the A+ anemia (B12). Osteoporosis is higher in the negative groups than in the positive ones, except in the AB+ group”.
Tips to eliminate insomnia
The US National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute noted that these habits can make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
- Make the room suitable for sleeping. Sleep in a cool, quiet and dark place. Avoid watching TV or electronic devices, as light from these sources can disrupt the sleep-wake cycle.
- Go to sleep and wake up at about the same time every day, even on weekends. If you can, avoid night shifts, changing schedules, or other things that can disrupt sleep schedules.
- Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol close to bedtime. Although alcohol can make it easier to fall asleep, it can cause sleep that tends to be lighter than normal. This increases the chances of waking up during the night.
- Get regular physical activity during the day, at least 5 to 6 hours before bed. Exercising closer to bedtime can make it more difficult to fall asleep.
- Learn new ways to manage stress. Follow a routine that helps you disconnect and relax before going to bed. For example, reading a book, listening to calm music, or taking a warm bath. Your doctor may also recommend massage therapy, meditation, or yoga to help you relax. Acupuncture can also help improve insomnia, especially in older adults.
