In recent independent studies conducted by Brunswick Laboratories, the powder from the moringa tree leaves registered a higher ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score than any other food on the list. With an ORAC score of 157,000, Moringa Oleifera topped all the other antioxidant superfoods including Acai berries, green tea, blueberries, dark chocolate, garlic, goji berries, pomegranates and red wine.
HIGHEST ORAC VALUE- MORINGO
What is ORAC?
The Oxygen Radical Absorbance
Capacity unit (or ORAC value or score) is a measurement of antioxidants in
foods and supplements that was developed by the National Institute on Aging in
the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Antioxidants are essential nutrients
that help slow the aging process and lower the risk of many health disorders by
combatting cellular damage caused by free radical activity. Experts believe
that antioxidant-rich foods with higher ORAC values are more effective at
neutralizing free radicals and reducing the damage they cause, compared with
foods with lower ORAC scores.
What are
Free Radicals?
Free radicals are extremely unstable
molecules that are missing one electron. In order to stabilize, free radicals
steal vital electrons from other cells in the body. This causes corrosion of
cellular membranes, damage to DNA, altered biochemical compounds, oxidation and
cell death.
Just one free radical can kill an enzyme, a protein molecule, a
DNA strand or an entire cell. What’s worse is in a fraction of a second, each
free radical sets off a chain reaction of proliferation that creates millions
of new free radicals. And each one of them sets off another chain reaction, and
so on and so on.
If left unchecked, free radical damage can cause premature aging
and increase your risk of numerous health conditions and disorders including
heart problems, strokes, arthritis, cataracts, Parkinson’s, allergies, etc.
Consuming a diet rich in antioxidants
is your best defense against free radical damage because it helps stop them in
their tracks. This reduces oxidation and free radical damage to your cells and
tissues that contribute to age-related degeneration and health problems.
What
Causes Free Radicals?
Some causes of free radicals include pollution, cigarette smoke,
car exhaust fumes, stress, alcohol, eating charred foods, pesticides,
ultraviolet rays, and drugs (prescription, over-the-counter and illegal drugs).
Your body constantly works to repair and replace cells damaged
by free radicals, but in today’s world with all the toxins in our environment
and the way we tend to abuse our bodies, it’s nearly impossible for our bodies
to keep up with the damage being done. That’s why it’s important to fortify
your diet with antioxidant-rich foods and supplements.

Higher the value of ORAC in food the more beneficial the food is for the health. People are not aware of Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity of the fruits and vegetables otherwise they won't find any reason not to eat only the food rich in high ORAC value.
