It is proved that antioxidants are very important to people’s health as they can keep our body balanced in antioxidants so that the damage to cell membrane and DNA will be less. People with less antioxidant are more likely to have some degenerative diseases, such as macular degeneration. And where people can get these antioxidants? Actually researches show that some fruits are rich in antioxidants. The following will give some introduction on fruits high in antioxidants.
The antioxidant activity of the food can be measured by ORAC Score value, which stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. Regularly eating some food rich in antioxidants is very good for people’s health. Researches taken by US Department of Agricultural Research Service show antioxidants have the following good impacts: First, the antioxidant power of human blood will be increased. Second, for middle aged rats, enough antioxidants will be helpful for keeping long-term memory and good learning ability. At the same time, their ability of brain cells will be maintained so as to respond to a chemical stimulus. At last, rats’ against-damage ability is strengthened as antioxidants can protect rats’ tiny blood vessels-capillaries.
In fact, many researches have proved the good effects antioxidants can have on people’s health, so nowadays, a large number of people have taken antioxidants health supplements. But there are a large amount of people are puzzled for which kind of antioxidants nutrients they should eat. The following will give some tips on this: First, for isolated antioxidants nutrients and combined ones, which should look for? The answer is antioxidants with cofactors and combination nutrients. Second, which should be chosen between antioxidants with slow release and steady protective effect and the ones with fast release and effect? Actually, the former is better.
According to Ronald L. Prior, who has done a lot of researches at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tuffts University, different fruits have different ORAC Score value. Therefore, in order to supplement enough antioxidant with certain fruits, we should know which fruits are high in oxidants. Researches show that the following fruits contain more oxidants: Prunes, rainsins, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, plums, oranges, red grapes, cherries and kiwi.
From the above introduction, we can see that antioxidants are very good for people’s health so that people should take in more antioxidants. In some fruits, there are more antioxidants; therefore, people can choose these fruits to increase their ORAC Score value.
