tree found in Central and South America. Because of it extremely high
ORAC value, the Acai berry is classified as an elite superfood due to
its powerful anti-aging and weight-loss properties.
What is Resveratrol?
Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and in other fruits. High
levels of Resveratrol is found in red wine, which has lead some
scientists to believe it may be related to the "French Paradox." The
French Paradox is the term used to describe the extremely low incidence
of coronary disease in the French population despite their high fat diet
and high intake of wine. The Resveratrol supplement allows you to
intake the beneficial part of wine without the alcohol.
What does ORAC value mean?
The term ORAC means Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity. The ORAC scale
was developed in order to classify foods richest in antioxidants. The
higher the ORAC value, the higher the level of antioxidants in the food.
What do antioxidants do?
Antioxidants are molecules that scavenge the body for free radicals,
removing them from your system. They actually inhibit the oxidation
process in other molecules.
What do oxidation and free radicals do to my body?
Oxidation is a process that produces free radicals. Free radicals are
like toxic waste in your body that ravage healthy cells. As free
radicals that your body is unable to clean are left to destroy healthy
cells in your body, a process associated with both cancer and aging.
How can I help my body fight against free radicals?
Your body needs antioxidants to fight and clean out the free radicals
from your body. Antioxidants neutralize the free radicals and allow
your body to safely remove them from your system. If your body does not
have enough antioxidants in its system, it cannot neutralize the free
radicals, and the toxic molecules are free to damage and kill cells in
your body.
The USDA recommends that people consume at minimum 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC
units a day. Additional studies show, however, that as we grow older,
the oxidation process speeds up in our system, making more free radicals
that when we were younger. Making sure your body has enough
antioxidants to continue to fight the onslaught of these free radicals
can keep your cells healthier for longer, while low levels of
antioxidants in your body cause oxidative stress and may damage or kill
cells.
