What are your favorite super foods? 1

Hello Friends,
I am practicing the path of " ecstatic immortalism" which means living in such a way as to prolong your own life to the greatest possible extent while feeling as good as humanly possible. Of course, actually living forever is probably not achievable, but the idea is that by aiming for immortality you can achieve great longevity and the best possible health.
A major pillar of my immortalist practice is a diet based on organic superfoods. The idea is this: if you eat bad food, you will have bad health. If you eat good food, you will have good health. But if you base your diet around "super" foods, foods that are extraordinarily beneficial and nutritious, you will enjoy Extraordinary health.
I have found some that I find very powerful, and I will share them with you. Then I would love it if you would list your favorites, ones that I might have missed.
My list (in no particular order)
1. Raw garlic: powerful anti-infective, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-cancer agent 2. Black garlic: as above, but with twice the anti-oxidants and even more effective anti-bacterial qualities 3. Rooibos (red) tea: very high in anti-oxidants and deeply calming 4. White/green tea: very high in anti-oxidants, powerful anti-cancer properties, prevents and reverses alzheimers 5. Raw Cacao: perhaps the most powerful of all, loaded with anti-oxidants, has a euphoriant effect, high in magnesium (which we need but are usually short of) 6. Spinach: a classic super nutritious superfood 7. Brocolloi: powerful anti-cancer properties, loaded with nutrition 8. Flax oil/seeds: heart and brain supporting omega oils 9. Fish oil: works like flax 10. Lemon juice: helps to alkalize the body when added to water, which is key to good health 11. Apple cider vinegar: also a powerful alkalizer 12. Hemp seeds/hemp hearts/hemp butter: rich in protein and omega oils 13. Seaweed: rich in Iodine and minerals
Ok theres my list. Please add your own favorite healthy foods and drinks
Thanks!

I love tomatoes, which are rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants. Also, worthy of mention are greens (mustard, turnip or collard greens) which are loaded with vitamins such as A and various other good things.

I am by no means an organic chemist, this is a serious question. How does citric acid or vinegar aid in raising body ph? I know asparagus and other green raw veggies are great for this. Also I would like to add a few foods: Blueberries Xango (think that's it, I knew a lady who sold it) noni hemp seed beets beer and wine (real) bread (real)

Oatmeal! No, joking, just watch that stupid commercial with Quaker calling it a super food. laughable description.
Any greens are my superfood - kale, collards, katuk, turnip, etc.

It doesn't, and neither do those you said do either. Your body's pH is very strictly regulated between 7.35 and 7.45. Any appreciable variance outside this range has serious consequences, and I don't mean lack of energy, or depression, or imbalanced chakras, I mean heart arrythmias, seizures and rapid death. Adjusting your body's pH through diet is bollocks of the highest order.

Acidic blood is bad for you whereas maintaining alkaline homeostasis is good. Marijuana and acid are lowering pH thus making blood acidic which is why they're bad. I choked on laughter when I read this in some retarded quasi-religious pseudoscientific nutrition book

Yes your body maintains this homeostasis, but if you are eating overly acidic foods then to maintain homeostasis Ca/Mg is taken up by the bones. It is well established that soft drinks reduce bone density because of the large amount of phosphoric acid that must be neutralized by the body. The same is true of any diet that is overly acidic.
-------------------- "A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein

"Some alternative practitioners recommend using apple cider vinegar to restore alkaline acid balance. The theory behind the alkaline diet is that our blood is slightly alkaline (with a normal pH level of between 7.35 and 7.45) and that our diet should reflect this pH level. Proponents of the alkaline-acid theory believe that a diet high in acid-producing foods leads to lack of energy, excessive mucous production, infections, anxiety, irritability, headache, sore throat, nasal and sinus congestion, allergic reactions, and increased risk of conditions such as arthritis and gout.
Despite being an acidic solution, some proponents of apple cider vinegar believe it has an alkalinizing effect on the body. As such, they recommend one to two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in water as a daily health tonic"
"Lemons, one of the most highly alkalinizing foods... The lemon is rich in alkaline elements...The mineral content of the lemon is alkaline-forming in its ash"
I can't explain how it works, but I have heard many times that some foods that are acidic in themselves (such lemons and apple cider vinegar) have an alkalizing effect when ingested (they call this in its 'ash') .
Likewise some foods that are alkaline in themselves, such as meat, cause an acidic body environment.

That's because when the actual chemical compounds that compose the organism are broken down they release different acids and bases. Thus the shift between acidic and alkaline.

in your post you admit that a change in PH causes health problems... i agree with you... it's called acidosis... but how do you get the body PH back to normal? through food, that's how... what do you think causes acidosis? eating processed foods and other bullshit... ever hear of the alkaline diet? there are several good books on it, i suggest you read one... chronic acidosis is the breading ground for cancer among other things... eating green vegetables among other things is a great way to elevate blood PH...

My #1 superfood:

-------------------- The fire has many things to teach. But so does the human experience.. which is like fire, sometimes you just need to stoke the coals and sometimes you just need to add a log or reposition the log matrix. But a well built fire will be much more self-sustaining than a poorly built one, and they all need love to grow. And don't fuck around or your might burn yourself. Must always respect the fire. - Shroomism
