Why are antioxidants important? Antioxidants help eliminate oxygen free radicals, which have been proven to cause many diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

Foods with a high ORAC score can help protect your cells against oxidative damage. Exposure to polluted air, radiation from the sun and electrical appliances and toxic foods also contribute to creating oxygen free radicals in your body. If antioxidants help prevent these toxins from harming your body, then it is safe to say that foods that are richer in antioxidants and with a higher ORAC score are better for you.Acai berry, also called Euterpe badiocarpa, Enterpe oleracea, is harvested from the Brazilian rainforest and has been used for thousand of years by the natives of Brazil.
