ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and is a measurement that has been developed to test the antioxidant levels in foods. Antioxidants help protect our bodies from the oxidation caused by free radicals. The higher a food scores on the ORAC better that food can help fight these free radicals. Free radicals are one of the main causes of aging, and can mutate out cells into deadly cancer cells. Sadly, most people only get about 20% of the recommended intake of antioxidants.

ORAC foods are easy to apply to your diet. Different websites rank the top 5 ORAC foods in different orders but here are the top 5 foods:

1. Acai

2. Pomegranite

3. Mangosteen

4. Pomengranate

5. Pomegranate

All of these foods have the necessary antioxidants your body needs. Try each fruit and see what fruits you enjoy the most. A smoothie with all these fruits would be a great tasting super antioxidant boost.

Acai berry juice happens to be my all time favorite antioxidant drink. In addition to being number one on the ORAC list it is also a great source of Omega fatty acids and essential amino acids. Acai berry will reduce cholesterol, improve your mood, and increase your memory. I used to drink a lot of beverages that contained caffeine to get the energy boost I need, but now I drink Acai berry juice to help me stay active. The boost even lasts longer and than many of those that contain caffeine.

Acai has a great taste and one of the best reasons to try it. It has a flavor of chocolate berries described by most. You can enjoy Acai berry juice without realizing it is good for you and is a health drink. Its one of the best ways to start the day off with a glass of very refreshing Acai berry.
