This antioxidant score number is fascinating, because it
quite literally tells you your health future. It’s sort of like having a crystal
ball that can peer into your future and tell you how much disease you’re going
to experience (and how soon). The number typically ranges from 10,000 to
40,000. Let’s take a closer look at what these numbers actually mean:
Below
20,000
Many individuals in
the United States,
who are consuming the standard American diet and being exposed to environmental
toxins while avoiding taking nutritional supplements, will score in the sub-20,000 range. Your average person off the
street might score at around 18,000. At that score, it means they’re
going to get chronic disease very soon... in fact, they’re already well along
with the disease process. They don’t have enough antioxidants in their body,
and they aren’t getting the level of nutrition they need to prevent chronic
disease. In fact, any score below 20,000 indicates rapid aging and accelerated degeneration
of health. A person at the sub-20,000 level is aging at perhaps twice the rate
of a healthy person. They can look forward to dealing with chronic diseases
like heart disease, cancer or other degenerative diseases in their forties or
early fifties. These are diseases that should never appear that early in the
human lifespan.
20,000 - 30,000
Someone who takes a few vitamins, or who follows a
moderately healthy lifestyle, may score in the
20,000 - 30,000 range. That’s a better score, but it certainly doesn’t
represent optimum health. This might
be a person who eats a few servings of fresh fruit and vegetables, but who
also goes out and eats pizza, fried foods, fast foods or junk foods. It could
also be a person who engages in heavy physical exercise but who doesn’t have
the wisdom to take nutritional supplements that compensate for the physical
stresses being placed on their body through their physical training. It might
be a person who’s taking supplements, but isn’t taking quality supplements, or who is exposed to chronic stress
through relationship difficulties, job troubles, or family problems.
Perhaps they don’t live in a clean city with clean air; maybe they’re not
drinking clean water, or they’re getting a lot of pollutants from the food they
eat. Perhaps they’re eating a lot of foods made with white flour and other
ingredients that actually deplete the body of critical nutrients. Regardless of
the reason, a score in the range of 20,000 - 30,000 is still a poor score. It
still means that person is going to show symptoms of chronic disease at a
relatively young age (typically their 50’s).
30,000 - 40,000
Healthier
people will score in the 30,000 to 40,000 range. These are people who are
actively protecting their health. They are watching what they eat, and they
take measures to reduce the level of stress
in their lives. They take nutritional supplements, especially whole food
supplements and super food supplements. They tend to avoid prescription
drugs and they avoid toxic therapies such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
They typically avoid conventional doctors, and when they have medical problems,
they go see naturopathic doctors, nutritionists or herbalists. These people
typically don’t smoke cigarettes, they don’t drink soft drinks, and they may
drink various herbal teas such as green tea or black tea. These are the
healthiest people in the population. These are the people you see on the street
and you say “Wow! They sure look healthy!” They don’t have excess body fat and
they’re not suffering from chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes or
cancer.
Good
Health Takes Planning and Effort The important thing to note is that people don’t get to
this level without making an effort. No one just
happens to find themselves in this 30,000 - 40,000 range out of pure luck. It’s
not something that strikes from the
sky like a bolt of lightning. It’s something you have to work for. And if you
do work at it, the Nutrition Scanner is going to tell you your score and
provide objective, scientific proof that what you are doing is working. Put
it all together, and what we have here is technology that can tell you your
level of health right now and can serve as an accurate predictor of what you’re
going to experience in terms of chronic disease and aging. The correlation
between these numbers and your level of health is very strong. I have no doubt
that if you were to go out and test people who are suffering from cancer or
heart disease right now, you would find that they would almost universally
score in the sub-20,000 range. If you were
to take these people and get their scores above 30,000 you’d tend to
find their diseases regressing. If you got them over 40,000, you’d start to see
some of these diseases literally disappear.
Beyond 40,000:The
Pathway to Longevity, Health, and Zero Medical Bills If you choose to follow an exceptionally healthy
lifestyle and you eat super foods or nutritional supplements, then you can
boost your score beyond 40,000. If you avoid chronic stress in your life, don’t
smoke cigarettes, don’t eat fried foods, don’t drink soft drinks, don’t consume
ingredients like hydrogenated vegetable oils, dairy products or white flour,
then you can achieve an even higher score.
