More and more my family and people I know are having health issues. My father has always been a huge preacher of eating healthy, but only until recently has it really sunk it. Most diseases were not even around 50 years ago. And there are numerous cultures that do not have the health problems that we do (USA).
So I have decided to focus more of my time and resources into the Health Awareness Industry. Over the next 5 years this will become a Trillion Dollar Industry. Hard to imagine due to the fact that it did not even really exist 20 years ago!
I am focusing all of my efforts on the "#1 Super Food," the fruit that has more antioxidants that any other know fruit or vegetable, and the fruit that is catching more attention and buzz (Oprah, Rachel Ray, Fortune Magazine, WSJ, Reuters Fox News, and many others) that any other health product in the industry... The Amazing Acai Berry!

James@TheAmazingAcaiBerry.comwww.insideacai.comAcai Berry and the ORAC ScaleDid you know it is recommended to intake a minimum of 3,000 ORAC units a day in order to benefit from the healing powder of antioxidants? Are you even getting 1,000?
How many servings of fruit did you eat today?Do you even know what an ORAC unit is?
It may sound like something from a science fiction movie, but ORAC is actually a rating that determines certain values in the foods we eat, that we may enjoy a healthier lifestyle.
ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, and rates foods according to their antioxidant content. When the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore developed this scale, it was revealed that a number of foods are especially high in antioxidants. Tropical fruits, like acai and wolfberry, for example, are especially high in antioxidant value. To enjoy fruits and vegetables ranked high on this scale can improve your body's ability to fight free radicals that cause the weakness and damage associated with aging.
More recently the USDA published an updated ORAC list of 100 foods, a sample of which you will find below. Many of these are everyday foods, enjoyed in a variety of ways. Some of the more exotic fruits and vegetables may be found in organic or gourmet grocery stores. These foods are listed by their respective ORAC numbers, one ORAC Unit per three ounces.
