USDA researchers estimate that you need somewhere around 5,000 ORAC units in your diet every day to get
ORAC benefits that slow aging and prevent disease.
But they also estimate that
average American gets only 1,200 ORAC units a day. This means that most of us are eating our way to one or more of
chronic diseases of aging.
Is it any wonder, then, that
diseases of aging are out of control? The average American gets less than
antioxidant (ORAC) value of one serving of spinach every day.
So what do you do if you hate spinach? No worries! There are many foods that rank high on
ORAC scale. Many delicious fruits and vegetables have high ORAC values: prunes, raisins, blueberries, blackberries, kale, alfalfa sprouts, and Brussels sprouts are all rich in ORAC. Just find
ones you like, and eat more of them.
Vitamin C, a common health supplement, scores 1,890 units per gram. (For comparison, spinach delivers 12.6 units per gram) And that’s another very good reason to supplement your diet with antioxidant vitamins.
But if you want to get serious about a true anti-aging diet, there are specialty food ingredients available that deliver far higher ORAC values than ordinary foods and vitamins.
The Next Level of ORAC
Scientists are now testing “superfood” antioxidants that can give you astonishing ORAC protection- much higher than ordinary foods and vitamins.
One of these new generation ORAC foods, derived from
skin of immature apples, tests as high as 13,000 per gram on
scale- over 1000 more powerful than spinach!
Anti-aging enthusiasts are now using these super-antioxidant ORAC foods to get maximum protection for aging and related physical and mental decline.
Why? Because high-ORAC foods may slow aging. And
next-generation ORAC food ingredients are showing remarkable health benefits in human and animal studies, against
same diseases associated with aging- heart disease, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
So let me ask you:
> If you are growing older
> If 80% of older Americans have at least one chronic disease
> If
USDA says that high-ORAC foods may slow aging
isn’t it time that you consider adding a lot more high-ORAC foods to your diet?
Or maybe, you didn’t get
memo.
