Add Years to Your Life and Life to Your Years

The ORAC Diet is a delicious way of eating, a natural path to health and vitality
It is simple: every one can slow down and may even reverse many of the body's natural ageing processes, and not only feel and look better, but gain enormous protection against the scourges of modern degenerative diseases. All one has to do is eat more foods rich in dark blue colour pigments, the antioxidants that have a high ORAC rating.

ORAC - Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity
The US Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Ageing (HNRCA) at Tufts University (Boston) has been studying the antioxidant properties of whole foods. They set out to measure the total antioxidant power of individual foods; and established the Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity - the ORAC score - a measure of each food's ability to neutralize free radicals and protect the body from ageing and degenerative disease.

According to the researchers, we should be aiming for at least 3,000, and for maximum protection 5,000, ORAC units every single day.

BIO-GRAPE Life from the Grape
Australian Harvest Fine Foods have released a range of delicious high ORAC functional foods made with added BIO-GRAPE, the dark blue colour pigment extracted from the skin and seeds of red wine grapes, which is a powerful antioxidant.

The Australian Harvest range of BIO-GRAPE high ORAC foods have been tested in Massachusetts by America's foremost technicians specializing in antioxidant research.

BIO-GRAPE Red Wine JUS was given a very high ORAC rating of 6,127 per 100ml which is higher than the best food source. It is delicious used to make a salad dressing with an Australian Harvest Organic Olive Oil or can be used as a health tonic.

A range of delicious BIO-GRAPE pastes to serve with cheeses, Red Wine JUS to use as the base for a salad dressing, Red Wine Chilli Sauce which is great as a steak or barbecue sauce and Red Wine JUS Mustard are available from all good food outlets.
