There is no one magic fix in terms of diet, although the first item below comes very close to it.
It has even been suggested by more than one expert that Chlorella and Spirulina, produced in sufficient quantity, could provide the ultimate answer to the world's food shortages because of the variety and richness of the nutrients they contain.
Chlorella and Spirulina These are two forms of micro-algae, they are not identical in composition and they perform slightly differently.
There is good argument for adding both to your diet.
They are alkaline-forming foods rich in nutritive value.
Chlorella is the greatest source of chlorophyll, and it contains more than 20 vitamins and minerals including B complex, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, iron and calcium, almost 70% protein, and 19 of the 22 amino acids.
The chlorophyll it contains is a liver detoxifier, a bowel cleanser, and a catalyst for the absorption of other elements, including iron.
It is the highest source of the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, reduced levels of which are believed to be implicated in physical deterioration and ageing.
It boosts the immune system and fights infection.
It has been shown to increase the good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, which helps to treat ulcers, colitis, diverticulosis and Crohn's disease.
Also used to treat constipation, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Chlorella has been used to treat cancer and also help protect the body from the effects of cancer radiation treatment.
It is effective in removing heavy metals from the bloodstream.
Chlorella is popular in Asia as an energy-producing supplement.
In Japan, it is traditionally used as a treatment for duodenal ulcers, gastritis, hypertension, diabetes, hypoglycaemia, asthma, and constipation.
Blackstrap Molasses This is a by-product of the refining process we use to make our sugar the "pure white and deadly" product it is.
At the start, molasses from the sugar refineries was used solely for stock, and farmers came to recognise its value in keeping animals healthy.
We have now learned that this by-product actually contains all the nutritive value of the sugar cane, which explains why it benefits our animals.
The refined sugar we put on our tables and our commercially prepared foods is the nutritionally worthless part.
In fact "nutritionally worthless" is an understatement - refined sugar is a nutritional liability because it is devoid of the natural elements that would help the body to digest it.
As such it calls on the body's resources and depletes them further, thus creating the acid pH condition we are trying to avoid.
I recently heard a first-hand account of a horse that had spent the night mired in a swamp.
By the time he was found, he was in a very bad way from stress and exhaustion.
His owners managed to get him out and somehow got him to the barn, but they did not expect him to live.
As it happened there was a drum of molasses in the barn.
For a week, the horse stood there, licking at the molasses "ad lib".
He survived, thanks to the molasses being there and his own natural instinct to take it.
As well as being very alkaline in its effect on the system, Blackstrap molasses contains a large amount of the B vitamins and is an unusually rich source of iron.
The importance of this iron content is that the iron is in a form that can be easily assimilated, and other factors in the molasses aid in its assimilation.
This is important, because iron supplements are not readily assimilated by our bodies, and often cause problems with constipation.
Blackstrap molasses is a great help with constipation.
It is also one of the foods that are reputed to restore hair color.
Blackstrap molasss will build rich, youthful blood - that should make it attractive to the baby-boomers.
It has twice as much iron as beef liver and is more easily digested.
Make sure what you buy is "Blackstrap"!
