An important key for superior health and longevity is to eat foods that score high on the Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity (ORAC).
Antioxidant capacity is measured in ORAC units per 100 grams (3.5 oz.) of food.
A high number of ORAC units means more antioxidant power which translates into a healthier, stronger body and a clearer, focused mind. The body and mind function better in every way when the body and blood chemistry are rich with antioxidants.
