Acai Fruit Antioxidants

Antioxidants are a hot topic in the media and in health circles. We are only at the beginning stages of fully understanding how they help protect our body. It is widely believed that the best way to get your daily dose of antioxidants is through what you naturally eat and drink. Acai fruit antioxidants have shown to be absorbed well by the body, and are still working their magic at least 24 hours after they are consumed.

So, what do antioxidants do and how much do we need? Well, when our bodies break down the food we eat they produce free radicals as a byproduct. We can also be exposed to free radicals from environmental pollutants such as cigarette smoke and radiation. For the most part our cells do a good job of protecting against free radicals, but unless antioxidants are available the damage starts to build up as we get older. This is one of the reasons our appearances start to worsen and our risk for heart disease and cancer rises as we get older.

Antioxidants seek out these free radicals and neutralize them, protecting the cells from any further damage. This is why it is believed that they are one of the best defenses we have against aging.

A food's antioxidant power is rated on the ORAC assay. It is believed that we should consume at least 1700 ORAC per day to help our bodies defend against free radicals. Most of us do not get even half that amount. Acai fruit antioxidants from a high quality product will usually contain between 3000-4000 ORAC. You can get more than the daily recommended dose in just one serving of acai.
