The media hype about the acai berry
Acai berries are tiny purple fruits that grow naturally in trees, in the deepest parts of the Amazonian rainforest. The local people are big consumers of this wonder fruit, because they know a lot of its health benefits. Acai can elevate energy levels, and lower blood pressure. It may also increase the libido. There may be even more benefits that just haven't been discovered yet.
Almost no other food on Earth can match the potent antioxidant levels of acai berries. Antioxidants are well known to combat the detrimental effects of free radicals.A lot of purple berries, like raspberries and blueberries, are good sources of beneficial antioxidants, and acai is right at the top of the heap.
The skin of the acai berry is packed with chemicals called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are extraordinarily powerful antioxidants, and they are also naturally found in red grapes and red wine. The fruit of the acai tree is loaded with beneficial plant sterols and fatty acids, fiber, and polyphenols.
If your cholesterol is an issue, the plant sterols found in acai can help lower it. While there's no food that will magically make you better, adding acai to your diet can make you healthier.
The ways to consume acai are only limited by your imagination. There's acai juice, which is delicious by itself, or you can mix it with other fruit juices like cranberry or cherry, or perhaps stir a bit into a glass of tea. If that's not your style, you can get any one of the many available capsule acai supplements or even an acai-packed nutrition bar.
Numerous studies have outlined the benefits of acai supplementation. A study by the University of Florida from 2006 seems to further prove the cancer-battling nature of the acai fruit. Lab tests, done by giving cancer cells a potent shot of acai, resulted in the death of those cells. More research is being done by the day, and the outlook for acai as a cancer-fighter is very promising.
On the Oprah show, Dr. Oz talked about acai and its many health benefits, bringing this wonderful fruit into the spotlight. If you're looking for acai supplements, they can be found in health food stores, grocery stores, drugstores, and online outlets. Try acai berries in a drink or in capsule form, but everyone should reap the benefits of this "wonder fruit". - 17274
