Antioxidants - Your Best Defense Against Disease and Aging by Brad Bahr

have a "spare" electron that they can give away without

turning into free radicals. In order to protect us, the

enzymes need help from certain substances known as

antioxidants.

The antioxidant value of any food or supplement can be

determined by it's ORAC rating. ORAC means Oxygen Radical

Absorbance Capacity. According to the University of

Michigan, Comprehensive Cancer Center, the measurement of

ORAC is a way to measure how many oxygen radicals a

specific food can absorb. The more oxygen radicals a food

can absorb, the higher its ORAC score. The higher its

score... the more that food or supplement will help you

fight diseases like cancer and heart disease.

Most experts agree that we should consume 5,000 ORAC units

per day to effectively fight free radicals in the body.

Sadly, most of us average around 1,200 units per day. Not

nearly enough to protect us from the common ciseases of

aging.

One of the best sources of antioxidants are berries and

fruits. Most of us would have a very hard time eating the

large amounts necessary to reach 5,000 ORAC units per day.

For this reason, high ORAC supplements have been created.

They contain berry and fruit extracts with a known ORAC

rating. These supplements are inexpensive and provide many

health benefits to your entire body and brain. Many people

use these supplements as part of an anti-aging program.

Keeping your cells from being destroyed goes a long way to

staying healthy and young.
