It's missing Iron, Biotin, and some Magnesium and Selenium.

Omega 3s were evidenced benefiting telomere lengths, suggesting their usage as building blocks – and they're really rare amongst foods. Flaxseed oil is basically the best option.

I eat what I assume to be a basic, and varied diet - I'd like to know if there is room for improvement:

Sardines
Eggs
Spinach, radishes, bell peppers, spicy peppers, tomatoes, green onion
Chicken, beef, trying to cut down on pork
Various spices as recipes call for them
Almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamias when I'm balling out
That is about all I can remember for now. I feel pretty good most of the time. I do eat some carbs, but rarely and generally only for dessert when with the gf.

How do I lower my blood ph to remove mucus from my body?

A huge biological mystery is that vitamin C is suggested being required in amounts near 15 g/day. Even small animals are making 10; and though an article checking genetically-engineered mice only had the second largest dosage as .01% (about 300 mg/day for a gallon) of water, only the first (.4%, about 15 g/day) was having the blood metrics and QOL of the natural …

so you're saying i need some oranges?

I drink lots of vodka. That cleans out my system, and even cleans my teeth (I haven’t brushed in years, and haven’t had a cavity since).

I also eat a liverwurst sandwich pretty much every day – to counterbalance the effects the vodka has on my liver. I make my sandwiches on seeded rye (because it’s the healthiest bread), with mayo (because eggs are the best protein; I use kewpie, because the msg makes it taste better), coarse mustard (good for the white blood cells), zucchini pickles (because they taste good), and a bunch of baby spinach (just for filler; it could honestly be left out).

I also eat a lot of canned fish (mostly sardines, but also the occasional fancy smoked oysters) on saltines. They give you all your essential amino acids, and provide a nice opportunity to try out various hot sauces, which are generally very low in calories, while high in flavor and immensely prodigious to healthiness.

Aside from that, I drink large amounts of water (anywhere between ice-cold to slightly chilled) every day, always through a straw, and sometimes with a lemon wedge.

To each their own, I say, but I’m just shy of 30 and am doing better than most of you.

Most foods are acidic; even milk is acid-producing.

Some of it is getting enough minerals.

Arginine is really great.

"Certain food groups are considered acidic, alkaline or neutral:

Acidic: Meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, grains and alcohol.
Neutral: Natural fats, starches and sugars.
Alkaline: Fruits, nuts, legumes and vegetables."

15g of vitamin C is a lot of oranges, which is sorta why the information is so important.

well damn, is my only option a supplement? I used to take supplements but decided to just eat as much as I can instead of taking the shortcut. Filling myself with good food first, supplementing when absolutely necessary. I don't even take a fish oil with the sardines I eat.

Fish oil was evidenced often having much less EPA and DHA than what's listed.

Flaxseed has a few critiques …

>phytoestrogens
These are lignans, which are carbs – the oil obviously being fat.

The relevance is debated anyway.
>"In fact, a review of available human research, published in the May 2014 issue of "Integrative Cancer Therapies," concluded that flaxseed consumption in women either had no impact, or caused a decrease in blood levels of estrogen."

>ALA conversion percentages
These are based on nutriment availability and other dietary factors … (>>12553702)

It also has a few benefits …

>It's tasty, so it's actually usable in recipes, making the calculated RDA of a few tablespoons well obtained.

>Vs. fishoil, a reasonable sourcing of flaxseed oil (e.g. light plastic; a gallon, for many), simply by what the original product is, has much safer and simpler controls for production quality.
