During the Silver Age of 50+, choosing food to replenish health and slow down aging is one of the most important things to be aware of. That is the “ORAC Score” (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity Value), which is the measure of the antioxidant capacity of various food obtained from scientific laboratory tests.

• What does the ORAC score tell us? It informs us which food, with equal quantities, has better ability to fight off free radicals. Food with higher ORAC scores is better at neutralizing free radicals and delaying oxidation, which ultimately helps us age slower, have fewer wrinkles, and avoid illness.

• How beneficial are antioxidants?

Antioxidants bind with free radicals, which are crucial agents that cause various cells in the body to deteriorate and are the root cause of various diseases. Consuming antioxidants can help:
1. Slow down the process of cellular deterioration.
2. Reduce the risk of cancer.
3. Decrease the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
4. Lower cholesterol levels in the blood.
5. Prevent and reduce the risk of heart disease.

• Nutrition researchers from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommend consuming a variety of vegetables and fruits, aiming for an ORAC score of 3,000-5,000 per day for good health and to provide the body with sufficient antioxidant defense, especially during the Silver Age of 50+.
