At Purium, we believe that the key to a quality life lies in the food you eat. It’s a simple concept with a powerful impact – the Calorie Antioxidant Ratio (CAR). Forget about fancy formulas; this is the secret sauce to a long and healthy life.
CAR, coined by Purium Co-Founder Dave Sandoval, stands for Calorie Antioxidant Ratio. It’s not about your car that gets you from point A to point B; it’s about understanding the balance between calories and antioxidants in what you eat.
Antioxidants play a crucial role in protecting your cells from free radicals, which are linked to heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and other diseases. Now, let’s talk about driving your CAR in the right direction.
Picture a CAR headed for health complications like heart disease and diabetes. This CAR is loaded with high-calorie, low-antioxidant foods like donuts, cheeseburgers, pizza, and soda. Alternatively, you can have your CAR headed in the right direction by adopting a diet lower in calories but rich in antioxidants.
Here are 10 foods that can brighten your CAR’s path, flooding your body with antioxidants:
- Beans: Packed with fiber and antioxidants linked to reducing chronic inflammation and suppressing cancer growth.
- Beets: Rich in belatins, antioxidants that may lower the risk of colon and digestive tract cancers.
- Blueberries: Possibly the highest antioxidants among commonly consumed fruits, proven to delay age-related brain function decline.
- Goji Berries: Rich in antioxidants, potentially reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, and skin aging.
- Kale: A nutritional powerhouse rich in antioxidants and an excellent source of plant-based calcium for bone health.
- Orange Vegetables: Butternut squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes contain antioxidants, aiding in cancer prevention and heart health.
- Red Cabbage: Four times the antioxidants of regular cabbage, with anthocyanins supporting the body’s response to inflammation.
- Raspberries: Loaded with anthocyanins, they have anti-inflammatory effects and reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Spinach: Low in calories, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, protecting eyes from UV light damage.
- Strawberries: Containing anthocyanins, they may lower the risk of heart disease by improving cholesterol levels.
