The ORAC values of the following spices-herbs-foods are rated very high (healthy) and are worth considering in your diet and preps for your overall health and well-being.

ORAC is an abbreviation for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and was developed by the National Institutes of Health in Baltimore.

In short, ORAC units measure the antioxidant capacity of foods. The higher, the better.

It is widely believed that high antioxidant foods help greatly to lower the risks of cancer, degeneration, and disease.

Have a look at the following list of food and spices and consider making a conscious effort to obtain and consume more of them in your normal diet. Ones health is paramount to survival!

(data sourced from the US Department of Agriculture during 2010)

The USDA recommends an ORAC unit ingestion of about 3000 to 5000 units daily.

The ORAC value of a given food will vary due to growing conditions, processing conditions, specific variety and others.

ORAC values listed here are in units of µmol TE/100g. (micromol Trolox Equivalent per 100 grams)

Trolox equivalency is used as a benchmark for the antioxidant capacity.

UPDATE (2014): The USDA has apparently removed their ORAC listings. If someone finds a USDA link, please comment below.

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

drought-monitor

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

😳 What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Lost Ways Of Survival Video

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.
