Acai Berry... Anitoxidant That is an Ounce of Prevention

Hello,

Today I would like to talk to you about the acai berry drink ... an elixir of life!! Most everyone has heard of the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound in cure." The acai berry is full of antioxidants which has been studied and showing many health benefits.

What do antioxidants do? They prevent the oxidation at the cellular level preventing free radicals from forming and damaging cells. Antioxidant levels are measured by what is called the ORAC value or the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity.

The USDA Human Nutrition Center at Tufts University has suggested that the daily ORAC intake from food is approximately 5000. How are you getting your antixoidants?
