What’s this you ask? It’s my “Life Score”. And, because of my Paleo lifestyle it indicates that my antioxidant level is over 67,000. A close friend of mine is one of only ten people in the USA to have a scanner that tests your “Life Score”. He’s still in the process of getting properly educated about the details of the “Life Score”, but what we do know is that this score will most likely take precedence over the importance of your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It measures the amount of antioxidants on a cellular level. Americans that follow the SAD eating (standard American diet) style that includes a lot of breads, rice, starches, sugars, and, very little vegetables range from 20,000-30,000. Anything above 50,000 is considered safe. What I also learned is that high intensity exercises has some sort of oxidative effect on your “Life Score” and actually drops it a little. Interesting, but I don’t know enough yet to comment further on this matter. The point of me sharing this with you is that Paleo nutrition is what has given me a high-ish “Life Score”. Tons of green leafy vegetables and grass fed meats. I’m sure we will all start hearing more about this interesting new health testing modality. By the way, this was also featured on Dr. Oz. That should add some credibility to this post. ~ WW
