Acai Berry Benefits

Posted: Mar 27, 2009 | Comments: 1 | Views: 483 | Bookmark and Share

Oprah's influence in television made it very accessible to a lot of people to know the many wonders of the Acai berry fruit. This fruit can be found in the rain forests of South America and is very popular to the natives for many generations. This must have been their version of the fountain of youth. The acai berry is inherently rich in fibre, oils, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and antioxidants. Its antioxidant potency is so high that it was easily classified as a super food. It ranks even higher than the blueberry which is considered a semi-super food.

The acai berry is really a very promising fruit. We rarely get all these nutrients in a single fruit. What exactly are the benefits of this fruit? The most important benefit that individuals can get from acai berry is good health. Since it has the best source of antioxidants it is very effective in fighting toxins, diseases and even cancer. We live in a toxin filled environment. We rarely get all the nutrients in our meals. It is definitely good to know that there is an acai berry fruit that can serve as a dietary and nutritional meal supplement.

Another acai berry benefit is its ability to increase the body's metabolism. Since it has lots of fatty acids such as omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9. Our bodies cannot produce these fatty acids and the only way to acquire them is through diet. Also, take note that the acai berry is loaded with amino acids that are vital in the regeneration and development of muscles. Scientifically, in order to lose weight we need to burn fat. Muscles are essential in burning fat since it produces more energy for strenuous activities. Combine this with a faster metabolism, then acai berry is indeed, very effective for weight loss.

Acai berry is a good source of energy. This is being devoured by jujitsu and soccer players in Brazil before an event or game. It has its way of unleashing natural burst of energy that is very useful to athletes. The acai berry also helps in toning muscles since it gives additional energy reserves necessary to stay active and alert.

The fatty acids in the acai also keep cholesterol low, and helps fight against heart disease. It allows the body to absorb the necessary vitamins it needs (A, D, E, B), and by giving you more energy, promotes physical activity that keeps cholesterol naturally low. It also contains an important protein that helps promote good vision, fights glaucoma and macular degeneration. The high amounts of fibre helps the stomach and liver work faster and more efficiently, and create a harmonious response in all related systems of the body. Also the acai helps your body naturally administer the correct levels of dopamine and serotonin to create a more peaceful, healthy sleep cycle.

The acai berry is good in disease prevention. Cholesterol are lowered by the fatty acids and helps in fighting heart disease. It helps the body absorb essential vitamins like A, B, D, and E. It also contains a protein that promotes good vision and fights macular degeneration and glaucoma. The acai berry controls the correct dopamine and serotonin levels in the body that's essential for a peaceful sleep.

Other proven acai berry benefits are: colon cleansing, healthier and younger looking skin, improved circulation, enhanced sexual performance and relief from minor aches and pains.

    Many of us probably remember the optical microscope from our school science classes. I remember carefully preparing a specimen, usually of an insect part or slice from a leaf or plant stem, and squashing this into a fragile glass slide. You then spent the next several minutes looking into the eye piece and fiddling with knobs and small mirrors trying to get it all intp focus. Does this sound familiar?

    Most of us have suffered from acne at sometime in our lives. Often just before that “important date” or when you need to look your best. So what causes acne? Acne is caused by hormones and other substances on the skin's oil glands and hair follicles. These lead to blocked pores and consequent pimples. These hormones are in abundance during our teenage years. Acne lesions can occur almost anywhere on the body but those on the face and neck cause the most distress.
