Research Shows Eating is Stressful to the Body
The process of eating foods regardless of how enjoyable the meal is, creates stress on the body-The stress occurs as the body begins to digest the foods and creates what is called oxidation stress. As the digestion process occurs in our bodies, harmful molecules are released known as free radicals.
Research has found that foods that are rich in antioxidants like the acai fruit berry can assist in fending off free radicals. The ARS (Agricultural Research Service) state people eat at least some kind of anti-oxidant rich food at every meal.
Recently, a study was conducted to investigate more about the effects of antioxidants on oxidation stress by using studies with healthy female participants.
The studies found that the woman's blood plasma declined after eating meals that have no antioxidants. However, when the meals were prepared with antioxidant rich acai berry fruit, the blood plasma stayed at the same level with no decline whatsoever.
The scientists concluded that eating meals that lack antioxidants can lead to cellular damage by free radicals. The increase in free radical damage is hypothesized to be the cause of cancer, and other debilitating diseases.
The experiments were part of a wider experiment that dealt with determining how the human body absorbed antioxidants in cherries, dried plums, red grapes, aside very, strawberries, and wild berries.
Scientist used a method known as ORAC (oxygen radical absorbent capacity) to look into the fruits and their antioxidant concentration and effectiveness.
The US government currently has no guidelines on the amount of antioxidants the human body should have to fight and rid itself of these harmful free radical damage.
The entire research results can be found in the 2007 Journal of the American College of Nutrition. - 17274
