hey guys dr. Barry here in this video

we’re gonna talk about something called

the ORAC rating okay this is basically

the capacity of antioxidants to fight

free radical damage free radical damage

basically alters the stability of the

cell membrane so it can really throw off

the whole cell the cell is constantly

fighting to stay whole but free radical

damage from pollution from UV light from

radiation can disrupt this now Iraq

values do not measure the specific type

of phytonutrients

they don’t measure the amount of

phytonutrients so there’s different

aspects of antioxidants or

phytonutrients so I just wanted to focus

on this one aspect of phytonutrients

okay if you look at chili powder its

23,000 that’s pretty high broccoli is

only like 1,300 time is 27,000 black

pepper 27,000 ginger 28,000 P cons

17,000 p cons have the highest or AK

value of any nut sage 32,000 curry

48,000 basil 67,000 parsley 74,000 cumin

67,000 cocoa powder which is 80,000

turmeric 159,000 oregano is 200,000

which is really good for an

antibacterial antifungal it does create

a little bit of a detox on some people

and that’s why I recommend grapefruit

seed extract instead but this is a

really good antimicrobial cinnamon which

is also really good for diabetes and

blood Sugar’s 267,000 clove at 314,000

this has the highest or AK value so if I

look at this whole scene there’s one

thing that just kind of pops out and

that is that most of these things are

spices okay and certain spices go

together cocoa powder cinnamon and clove

I’m gonna put a link down below of a

kind of a nut granola that we made with

cocoa cinnamon cloves so you can make

that these

very very high so I put a couple links

down below so you can get more

information on this but definitely start

adding more spices to your food thanks
