- ROS or free radicals as they’re commonly called, are molecules that contain
oxygen ions as well as peroxides and are a natural
byproduct of the metabolic process in the cells of the
body. These free radicals are extremely reactive
and attack the body’s systems setting off chain reactions and
thus altering and damaging the DNA, RNA and cellular proteins. To maintain a healthful metabolism, the body has to be cleansed from the highly reactive oxygen molecules which might be capable of creating the free radicals.
Antioxidants are capable of getting rid of
free radicals and can inhibit further oxidation
reactions and thus terminate the chain reaction.
Eating foods rich in antioxidants is a
helpful technique
to tackle the formation of free radicals within the body.
Vitamins E, Vitamin C, Beta- carotene, glutathione, Uric acid, carotenes
and CoQ10 are among the more recognized antioxidants.
Pomegranates, wolfberry, also known as Goji berry and acai
berries are fruits from nature’s bounty that are established to be high in
antioxidant content. For ages people have been
making use of these antioxidant fruits as antidotes for
different health conditions. New tests demonstrate that these antioxidants can do wonders to ward off and reverse the ill- effects of some illnesses.
Scientists in Israel have shown that daily consumption of a glass of pomegranate juice, considerably cuts the chance of atherosclerosis, the number 1 killer in North America. An additional fascinating element was the lowering in plaque build- up in those patients who had severe carotid artery stenosis(clogged arteries) .
Yet yet another robust antioxidant drink
comes from the acai berry, a reddish purple fruit, belonging
to the genre of other purple colored fruits like
cranberry and blueberry. The ORAC rating for acai berry
is a huge 1027 per gram as opposed to the 105
for pomegranates. Despite the fact that acai
juice has great antioxidant and anthocyanin levels, experiments are still underway to conclusively determine its potential antioxidants health benefits. Nonetheless, because of its high ORAC value, the possible health benefits of acai juice can’t be
underestimated.
