Fighting Free Radicals & Free Radical Damage

Antioxidants, ORAC scores, free radicals and oxidative stress: These things have become trendy topics as far as health and longevity are concerned.

Many people have heard that foods with antioxidants protect us from free radical damage, which is responsible for many of the effects of aging on both the body and mind.

When antioxidant levels in the body are lower than those of free radicals, due to factors like poor nutrition or lots of incoming toxins, the immune system is overloaded and aging occurs more rapidly. In order to know how to best protect yourself from health problems linked to free radical damage — and there are many — it helps to understand what types of lifestyle habits or dietary choices cause them to accumulate in the first place.

Antioxidants may be easier to add to your diet than you might think. Based on ORAC scores (based on research from a broad number of sources), below are some of the top antioxidant foods by weight

• Moringa Oleifera: 26,848 ORAC score
• Goji berries: 4,310 ORAC score
• Kidney beans: 8,606 ORAC score
• Cranberries: 9,090 ORAC score
• Blackberries: 5,905 ORAC score
• Cilantro: 5,141 ORAC score

Antioxidant sources, like antioxidant foods, herbs, spices and teas, reduce the effects of free radicals, also called oxidative damage/stress, which plays a major role in disease formation. The leading health problems facing us today — including conditions like heart disease, cancer and dementia — have been linked to increased levels of oxidative damage and inflammation. In simplest terms, oxidation is a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals, leading to other chemical chain reactions that damage cells.
