Antioxidants

Antioxidants are substances that can protect the body's cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals.

Because oxidation is a naturally occurring process within the body through external sources such as exposure to the sun or pollution, a balance with antioxidants must exist to maintain cell health. Chia is an excellent source of antioxidants.

Studies have shown a diet containing antioxidants can slow the process of aging in both the body and the brain such as lessen the effects of chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and muscle degeneration.

The level of antioxidant within foods is measured by their Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity or ORAC score.
