There are only four main blood types: A, B, AB, and O. And we love them all! Your blood type can actually determine a few things about you. First, how do doctors determine who gets your blood when you give a blood donation? Second, your blood type can give some insight into your health. And lastly, depending on who you ask, your blood type may even determine what diet you should be on. More on those topics in a few, but let's dive right into the blood types and basics.
