Acai – Good Food Good Health

Hi

Have you heard of all the great properties packed in the Acai berry that has now been classed as a SuperFood? And the many ways it can benefit you by adding it to your diet.

The little known Acai berry is jam packed with goodness and contains essential fatty acids, amino acids and the highest concentration of anti-oxidants than any other food.

No wonder that the Acai berry – (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) has been titled one of the most powerful and nutritious foods in the world – not bad for a small blue berry.

The Acai berry grows wild and abundantly at the top of the Euterpe Oleracea, a native tree of the Brazilian Amazon and Central American tropical forest in the flood plains.

The only draw back with the Acai berry that I can see is that it is not readily available in most supermarkets. This is wholly due to the fact that the Acai has a very short shelf life and also the period they are harvested in, keeping the price of the fresh berry quite high.

So with the Acai’s popularity increasing as its good health benefits become more widely known, other forms are easily obtainable from reputable health stores and chemists in freeze dried, capsules, tablets, juice and pulp form.

Anti-oxidants are renowned for combating the effects of premature ageing and with the Acai berry’s remarkable concentration, really does help. In fact the berry contains 10 times more anti-oxidants than red grapes and between 10 – 30 times more of the good anthocyanins contained in red wine.

The fatty acid in Acai is very rich in monounsaturated oleic acid and similar to that of olive oil. Oleic acid is beneficial and important for many reasons to the body.

Oleic acid in the Acai helps increase penetration of the cell membrane by omega-3 oils, making the membranes suppler, and together with the cell membrane being more supple aids the efficiency of neurotransmitters, hormones and insulin receptors.

High insulin levels are linked with ageing, as the higher levels of insulin creates an inflammatory state in the body and inflammation causes ageing, so the Acai can help combat this.

Not only is ageing affected by the Acai’s synergy of monounsaturated fats, but its dietary fibre and phytosterols also help to promote good health of the cardiovascular and digestive system.

The Acai also has a near perfect complex of essential amino acids and together with its valuable trace minerals are excellent and vital for proper muscle contraction and regeneration, this slows the effects of damage to the skin that cause the signs of ageing.

What more needs to be said about this fantastic berry, well as the Acai contains phytosterol – (Beta-sitosterol) that inhibits cholesterol absorption, allowing it to be naturally removed with bodily waste instead of being stored as fat, is yet another good health benefit.

So by adding Acai to your diet and eating a varied diet of nutritionally good food for good health is the main stay to keeping your skin supple and looking young, as with a varied diet you can obtain the many vitamins and nutrients needed for your body’s daily fight against ageing.

The acai berry contains a potent pack of goodness to fight not only against the ravages of ageing but many other conditions. So for your body’s whole wellbeing adding Acai to your daily diet can only benefit you.

Acai is the number one good food for good health.

Acai And It’s Cancer Fighting Properties

Hi

Today we are bombarded with everyday foods now being labelled ‘superfoods’ which is excellent for our good health, but Acai berries are not on the tip of most people’s tongue and yet are classed as having the highest amount of anti-oxidant properties currently.

Not only this but the Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is also claimed to be one of the most powerful and nutritious food in the world.

The Acai berry grows wild in the tropical forests in Central America and Brazilian Amazon, where it is abundantly found at the top of the native tree Euterpe Oleracea in the flood plains there.

The indigenous people of these areas have long known the many good health benefits of the Acai berry and as a good food have used it to treat and cure many ailments as well as using it as a good health enhancing food.

Acai berries are not found readily in your local supermarket although a few have stocked it, as the berries have a very short shelf life and harvest period, but can be purchased from reputable gourmet stores, chemists and good health food outlets in freeze dried, tablet, capsule, juice or fruit pulp form year round.

Obviously the best form of Acai is the fresh berry but this is very difficult to get hold of and expensive, the freeze dried is the next best thing but the pulp and juice is also excellent but be sure and only purchase 100% pure juice that contains no added sugar or artificial ingredients and preservatives.

By adding any form of Acai berry such as freeze dried Acai -  that is a good food for good health for you and your overall health, can only benefit your well being of body and mind alike with its fantastic amount of anti-oxidants that promote good health of your liver and immune system.

The flavour of the Acai berry is similar to the blueberry yet with a chocolate twist to it – that should suit many people although it can be quite bitter, so if you have a sweet tooth the capsule or tablet form may be better suited to you.

The Acai berry is also packed with fibre, in fact a total of 44% of the fruit mass is actually fibre, so not only does it have the highest anti-oxidant properties it also is one of the richest fruits in fibre as well, another good health benefit for you.

The high concentration of anti-oxidants in Acai are great for protecting cells from free radicals – these are then unstable molecules that cause damage in our bodies.

Being a by-product of normal bodily functions, free radicals are constantly being formed with antioxidants destroying them throughout our life span, a constant circle.

The problem with free radicals is that they can accumulate too much when our body’s are exposed to abnormal toxins such as smoking, pesticides, alcohol, pollution, radiation or just being low on anti-oxidants, greatly exceeding the ability the body has to fight then.

These free radicals then attack healthy cells and invade healthy tissues, our health then suffers as a result of this, so keeping a good diet rich in healthy anti-oxidants is key to good health, and the Acai berry is second to none for this.

Let’s hope that with more awareness of this super-food and its powerful properties, the little known Acai berry, whether it is freeze dried Acai or one of the other products forms, it will become a popular fruit to everyone, increasing the anti-oxidants in your every day diet.
