Although this is the standard that is used most often, some question remains about whether ORAC values are the best way to decide on an antioxidant product. This article looks at how ORAC values are determined and whether or not they are significant, and discusses other factors to consider when you're shopping for antioxidant-rich foods. http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/ORAC-Values-and-Antioxidant-Benefits/937277 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/ORAC-Values-and-Antioxidant-Benefits/937277 The root cause of most heart problems is a condition called atherosclerosis, often referred to as "clogging" or "hardening" of the arteries. The blame for this condition is usually placed on having too high a level of cholesterol in your bloodstream, but if you examine all the statistics on the rate of heart attacks, this theory just doesn't hold up. http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/High-Cholesterol-Levels-Don-t-Cause-Heart-Disease-/937273 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/High-Cholesterol-Levels-Don-t-Cause-Heart-Disease-/937273 Multiple scientific studies have demonstrated that garlic can indeed prevent heart disease. It has been shown that in cultures where people eat large amounts of garlic, there is a lower incidence of heart attacks. These health benefits of garlic are said to be a result of phytochemicals that work similar to cholesterol-lowering drugs, but without any side effects. The question is, can garlic reduce cholesterol enough to make a difference? http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Garlic-and-Cholesterol--Heart-Attack-Prevention/937261 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Garlic-and-Cholesterol--Heart-Attack-Prevention/937261 One of the best ways that you can lose weight is to eat foods that are healthy for you.

Free radicals are unstable, highly reactive particles that are a byproduct of your metabolism. They are a response by your body to stress factors from your diet, lifestyle and environment.
