The Top 5 Superfoods on the Antioxidant Chart ORAC

By Ryan Sinclair

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity otherwise known as ORAC was developed to measure and test the antioxidant levels in food. Oxidation can be harmful to the body and antioxidants are protection from toxic free radicals. ORAC scores foods on what would be best to help fight these toxins. These free radicals are the main causes of aging, and can even cause cancer from mutated cells. Only about 20% of people get the recommended amount of antioxidants sadly.

ORAC foods are easy to apply to your diet. Different websites rank the top 5 ORAC foods in different orders but here are the top 5 foods:

1. Acai

2. Pomegranite

3. Goji Berries

4. Mangosteen

5. Wild Blueberries

By eating these foods you can get your daily supply of all the antioxidants you need. Try them and find out which ones you enjoy the most. You could even make a smoothie and mix them all together for an awesome antioxidant drink.

Acai berry juice happens to be my all time favorite antioxidant drink. In addition to being number one on the ORAC list it is also a great source of Omega fatty acids and essential amino acids. Acai berry will reduce cholesterol, improve your mood, and increase your memory. I used to drink a lot of beverages that contained caffeine to get the energy boost I need, but now I drink Acai berry juice to help me stay active. The boost even lasts longer and than many of those that contain caffeine.

One of the best reasons to go with Acai is that it has an amazing taste. Most people describe it having the flavor of chocolate berries. It's one of the few health foods you can enjoy without realizing that it's actually good for you. There is no better way to start off your day than with a nice refreshing glass of Acai juice. - 17269
