Antioxidant Superfoods - Sunshine Coast Kinesiology

2/23/2019

​We all know that modern life exposes our cells to high levels of oxidative damage from things such as poor dietary choices, toxic chemicals, stress from overwork, pollution, medication, even the ageing effects of sun exposure. To some degree we can protect our bodies from oxidative damage by using foods high in antioxidants, but how do we know which foods are the best to choose for this role?
 
The ORAC score, (oxygen radical absorption capacity) rates the power of a plant to neutralise free radicals, thus preventing them from damaging our cells. The score is based on 100 grams of each food
