Free Radicals - The Cause of Disease and Aging
What is A Free Radical?
A free radical is an atom with an unpaired electron in the outermost shell.
Let's make this simpler to understand: Say you have a bare piece of steel and you leave it outside for awhile. What's going to happen to the piece of steel? It is going to rust. This is called oxidation.
Our bodies go through the same process every day. As we breathe, eat, sleep, and excercise, our body experiences oxidation. This is the cause of aging and degenerative diseases. With the help of antioxidants, you can greatly reduce the number of free radicals in your body!
How Can I Combat Free Radicals?
No one can avoid free radicals completely; they are a part of your daily life. However, by consuming foods rich in antioxidants, you can effectively combat excessive amounts of free radicals and prevent oxidative damage. One such food source is Brenda's healthy chocolate.
One of the Highest Antioxidant Foods Available
What Are Antioxidants?
Antioxidants are molecules that can prevent the damaging effects of excessive amounts of free radicals in the body by neutralizing and destroying them.
How Are Antioxidants Measured?
ORAC - Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity
The USDA uses the ORAC scale to measure the antioxidant capacities of different foods. They recommend a daily intake of 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC daily.

Essence of Health, the Omega Squares
The North American diet is almost completely void of the essential fatty acid Omega-3. Researchers believe that at least 60% of North Americans are presently deficient in Omega-3 fatty acids and that children are obtaining almost no Omega-3. In fact, the deficiency of Omega-3 in the North American diet has now been linked to an extensive list of health-related problems sited in over 2,000 scientific studies.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to health.
They are considered essential fatty acids, which means that they are essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body.
The National Institutes of Health and International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL) recommends that individuals consume at least 220mg daily of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), the most important Omega-3 fatty acids, and that pregnant and nursing women consume at least 300mg daily. For comparison purposes, there is 100mg of DHA per 1/4 cup of canned tuna.
The Omega Bar has a minimum of 200mg of DHA and EPA per three 11 gram squares. The Omega Squares are an excellent source of Omega-3 and promotes the necessary balance of essential fatty acids though the Açaí Berry, flaxseed and a patented, plant-based, encapsulated Omega-3.
Reverse the Imbalance!
It is important to maintain an appropriate balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 in your diet as these two substances work together to promote better health. A healthy diet should consist of roughly two times more Omega-6 fatty acids than Omega-3 fatty acids (2:1).
Many researchers suggested that the present excessive levels of Omega-6 fatty acids, relative to Omega-3 fatty acids (10:1), in the North American diet has created a significant imbalance and is a major factor in the rising rate of diseases in the United States. Omega-9 fatty acids are not classified as essential fatty acids, because they can be created by the human body from unsaturated fat.
The Omega Squares has been developed to provide your body the essential fatty acids for preventative and better health during every stage of your life!
