Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Super Power--And Why It Should Matter to You.

Doctors have been telling us for years about the importance of Antioxidants in fighting free radicals. Free radicals are stray oxygen molecules that damage cells in the body and have been linked to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and a host of inflammatory diseases. They can even contribute to cancer, making fighting them vital.

All of which makes anti-oxidants so important. Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is the measurement of antioxidants in foods, and some of the foods with high ORAC measurements are fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, broccoli, carrots ... and grapes. Especially Muscadine Grapes.

You've heard that there are health benefits to red wine, but Muscadine grapes, native to the Southeast United States, are bursting with antioxidants. They developed over centuries in harsh conditions, making them tough--and making their phytochemicals for fighting off disease that much stronger. Their extra-tough skin means that they have an high concentration of antioxidant phenolic compounds, such as Resveratrol which can also work as an anti-inflammatory and has anti-cancer potential.

Muscadine Grapes are helpful in the fight against free radicals, and drinking juice from this grape--not to mention the seeds and the skin (known as pomace) can help your body fight inflammatory conditions such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, allergies, atherosclerosis, colitis, and many other conditions. It benefits your blood vessels by reducing inflammation and atheriosclerotic plaque. It can even inhibit LDL cholesterol and help reduce blood pressure.

All in all, as of May 2008, there have been 81,000 research citations in the last 10 years about the value of Muscadine phytochemicals. There are a number of sources out there, as the health benefits of Muscadine Grapes become more widely known, but one of the very best is the Heartland Select health drink, which is carefully formulated to combine the juice, seeds, and skin of the Muscadine grape. Just two ounces has 4000 ORAC units--2 to 4 times more per serving than its nearest competitor.

The health benefits of the Muscadine grape is something the Native Americans were well aware of before European settlers started cultivating the grape, and yet, it's managed to largely stay a secret ... until now. If you know anybody fighting cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or any of the other diseases we've mentioned, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It can only help!
