Depends on the individual, not everyone has the same lifestyle factors or lives in the same location. There is no "one size fits all". For example, one who exercises daily can typically handle much more fruit than one who is sedentary. A diet that contains reasonable amounts of fruits, green juices, vegetables, sprouts, sea vegetables, algae, and a moderate amount of nuts and seeds... and B12 supplementation would likely be a very efficient diet. Perhaps D3 as well if you cannot get enough sunshine.

But many will say the seas are contaminated and sea vegetables and algae are not good food.

i believed that raw foods have something to do with the anti-aging benefits, as far as I know, a lot of foods nowadays underwent processing with unnatural contents and chemicals induced to the food and those chemicals are not good in terms of long term usage and consumption. So definitely, raw foods are far better than those. Just make sure you know the history of the food before you eat it. Yeah some of the sea vegetables are contaminated so make sure you know well where the vegetables came from.

That's why you make verify that your source of sea vegetables or chlorella, spirulina, and AFA tests extensively for contaminants (radiation, heavy metals, bacteria, etc.). I also think Sproutarian posted something a while back about how sea vegetables are much more resistant to radioactive pollution. Maybe he could expand further on that. Most sea vegetables are actually very good at protecting and detoxifying radiation from the body.
