According to Tufts University,repparttar average person needs approximately 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units per day to have a significant impact on plasma and tissue antioxidant capacity. Three servings of fruits and vegetables per day provide approximately 1200 ORAC units. This meansrepparttar 115076 average person is short by up to 3800 ORAC units each day, depending onrepparttar 115077 fruits and vegetables they are choosing and their body’s requirements. To make uprepparttar 115078 difference, experts recommend supplementing our diet with high ORAC foods to become and stay healthy and slow downrepparttar 115079 aging process caused by free radical damage.

Lycium Barbarum was ratedrepparttar 115080 food withrepparttar 115081 highest antioxidant ability coming in at an amazing 3,472 ORAC units per fluid oz. Some ofrepparttar 115082 other notable mentions are vitamin E oil at 3,309, pomegranates at 3,037, blueberries 2,400, raspberries 1,220.

Wolfberries have been found to have extremely high levels of immune-stimulating polysaccharides. What are polysaccharides? Polysaccharides are very large, long-chain sugar molecules that are nourishment for macrophages (large white blood cells) inrepparttar 115083 gut wall. The macrophages are then transported to other immune cells, setting off a chain of defensive events in our bodies.

Several years ago German researchers isolated polysaccharides from Echinacea purpurea (often used in medicinal formulations) and mixed them with macrophages in test tubes. They found thatrepparttar 115084 polysaccharides profoundly activatedrepparttar 115085 macrophages, stimulating them to effectively kill tumour cells! Also it was found macrophages increased their production of interleukin, a chemical which spursrepparttar 115086 immune system to greater activity, andrepparttar 115087 polysaccharides also enhancedrepparttar 115088 activity of B lymphocytes, immune-system cells which fight bacterial infections.

Below arerepparttar 115089 results of a 2002 study onrepparttar 115090 effects of a Ningxia wolfberry product on phagocytes. First, why should we care about phagocytes? Phagocytes are a crucial component ofrepparttar 115091 immune system and are found inrepparttar 115092 spleen. They digest foreign substances that invaderepparttar 115093 body including bacteria and other disease causing organisms. Having large numbers of phagocytes inrepparttar 115094 spleen will enablerepparttar 115095 body to more quickly eliminate foreign substances and thus preventrepparttar 115096 development of potential illness.

The effects were astounding. Spleenic phagocyte cell counts (immune cells) increased by 81% andrepparttar 115097 ORAC (antioxidant capacity)repparttar 115098 subjects' whole blood increased as well. Essentially, you could sayrepparttar 115099 subjects’ blood became younger.

I believe this little fruit can changerepparttar 115100 health ofrepparttar 115101 world if more people know about it. Tell your friends and together maybe we can make CNN stand up and take notice!

Thank you for spendingrepparttar 115102 time to read my article. My hope is that you have learned something useful and will put that knowledge to use for your own sake andrepparttar 115103 ones you love. Sincerely, Paul Brelin
