I have a diabetic manual for my 11 year old son. It basically says all people should eat like a diabetic. Healthy, low carb foods. There are actual guides, but just remember what you learned in school about the basic food groups and you've got your answer. I'd say there isn't a particular cure all, but a variety of foods which contain different vitamins is the healthiest... If you can gag it down, I've read 2-3 tsp. of pure apple cider vinegar in an 8oz. glass of water before each meal is a great body cleanser and helps with digestion. I do it, and it seems to help my energy levels, because I'm cleaned out, with no nasty side effects... Which allows the vitamins to be absorbed properly!!! And it's CHEAP...

The BEST chart is the newest Eating Pyramid.
Please check www.MyPyramid.com.
You will find so much good, colorful information, and you will find that most eating styles can be adjusted slightly to provide good nutrition.
Enjoy!!
