All About Antioxidants
We've talked before about the powerful antioxidants found in the acai berry, and that acai roots freeze dried acai is a rich source of those antioxidants, but this week we wanted to give some more information so that everyone knows why this is so important and realized the truly amazing benefits our product provides in terms of general health and wellness.
Simply put, antioxidants allows the body to fight off the effects of oxidative stress, which is involved in many degenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, heart disease, and cancer. However, not all antioxidants, or sources of antioxidants are created equal. Every food is given a value, called its ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), which measure how effective the antioxidants within that food are in combating oxidative stress. The higher the ORAC, the better that particular food is, and thus, the more benefit you will get from it.
Recent studies, including one conducted by Schauss and colleagues for Natural and Medicinal Products Research, found that the "antioxidant capacities of freeze-dried acai fruit pulp/skin powder... was found to have exceptional activity against superoxide," the levels of which constituted "the highest of any food reported to date." In lay terms, freeze dried acai's ORAC rating was over four times that of the next highest fruit (the wild blueberry) -- quite a significant difference! Doctors recommend between three and five thousand ORAC units per day, which, given the comparatively low number of units offered by even the healthiest of traditional fruits, can be a challenge to meet. With freeze dried acai from Acai Roots, fulfilling such a quota becomes a breeze. And of course if that weren't enough, it tastes great too!
Antioxidants are an important part of the body's defense system, and while there is no such thing as a miracle cure for long-term health, as a guardian of wellness and an aid in the fight against degenerative disease, acai roots products are the best choice. If you aren't already one of our thousands of satisfied customers, we invite you to give it a try today -- just one pouch of Acai Roots freeze dried is enough to show you the noticeable boost in energy, and sticking with it will prove the claims of health experts everywhere who say it is truly nature's "super food" and quite possibly the best natural defense against cancer and other diseases.
