For centuries the Chinese have used plants, roots and berries for treating disease and for their anti-aging properties. As time goes along, researchers are looking at fruits and vegetables as the natural way to live longer and healthier. Perhaps we should have taken a step back into Chinese medicine years ago? In todays world, we are constantly dealing with stress. Things like lack of sleep, work, poor diet, smoking...these all attack our body and system. Research suggests that stress causes free radical damage to our cells. Free radicals are molecules or atoms that are unstable and attack healthy cells. It is believed that free radical damage causes accelerated aging and disease. Our bodies produce antioxidants to neutralize free radicals. However, with added stress, our bodies run out of antioxidants. Therefore it is important to consume additional antioxidants to promote a healthy life. BRING IN THE KING OF ANTIOXIDANTS Scientists use a method of measuring the ability of antioxidants to absorb free radicals (the bad guys). This method uses ORAC Units for measuring purposes. Three thousand units is considered an industry standard for health. If you go to www.jerseyasparagus.com/hggoji.htm you will see how high the Goji Berry measures on the ORAC Chart.
