The Açai Berry may be the world’s most powerful anti-aging food. It is one of the highest rated foods on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) only rivaled by the Goji berry (also in this formula). The ORAC scale is a test developed by USDA researchers out of Tufts University in Boston that measures the antioxidant level in foods. Açai Berries possesses an unmatched ability to absorb injurious, free radicals that attack the body and contribute to the aging process and many diseases. Today, our bodies are constantly being bombarded by free radicals from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the pesticides on our fruits and vegetables, the chemicals we clean with, the preservatives in our processed food, and on and on. Eating foods high in antioxidants is one way we can help our bodies combat these free radicals and the damage they cause.
Açai also contains the highest concentration of anthocyanins of any food. They are also known for capillary health which in turn helps with oxygen uptake. Due to their ability to protect the brain form free radical damage and their support of healthy, cellular tissue growth, anthocyanins are reputed to be one of the most valuable anti-aging antioxidants known.
The famous research regarding the "French Paradox" attributes anthocyanins as being the antioxidant that protects the French from heart disease. The French consume large amounts of coffee, nicotine, sugar, white flour and cheese and yet they have a relatively low incidence of heart disease compared to their neighbors in the US, UK and other European countries. The red wine grape, due to its anthocyanins is what is believed to be responsible for the low incidence of heart disease. The Açai berry has 30 times the anthocyanins levels of that of red wine.
