anyone know what the restrictions were put on the eating of blood  in leviticus?

was it overall because blood is the lifeline or did i miss something?

Mainly, to be kosher animals have to be slaughtered according to certain rituals, one of which involves draining the blood.  God probably had several reasons for this commandment:  (1) blood is life, so is symbolic of sacrifice and eventually Jesus' own blood sacrifice; (2) blood is often quite unsanitary, so best not eaten; (3) many of the heathen nations used blood in their religious rituals.

Best wishes,
Lowell
