Make A Life Style Change And Include The Acai Berry

By Casey Wigwire

Berries and chocolate. Generally a great combination, right? What if there was a berry that had a cocoa flavor in it? Well as nature would have it, there is. This extraordinarily nutritious berry is called the acai berry (pronounced a-sigh-ee). While it doesn't exactly taste like pure chocolate, the bitterness of cacao is incorporated into acais intense flavor. The flavor is actually hard to pinpoint as some of its juices have been compared to bitter raspberries while others claim acai produces a salty aftertaste (like say, olives.) Ok, I'm the one that said that. But the flavor is not the only thing that makes acai so unique.

From the rainforests of the Amazons, acai berries have been consumed by Brazilians for centuries. But recently, more and more of these grape-sized berries are falling from the South American palm trees into juice bottles around the world.

Labeled the antioxidant superfood, its known for its substantially large amounts of antioxidants and nutritional value. Acai has double the cancer-fighting power of blueberries, the formerly known antioxidant contest frontrunner. Consumption of the berry not only helps prevent and attack cancerous cells, but it is said to boost energy and overall immunity as well. Actually, the list of supposed and even validated benefits is virtually endless from improved digestion to better circulation, and even better sleep. It is based on these extraordinary characteristics that acai has been referred to as the most healthful fruit in the world.

The cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment or pregnant women or women planning to go family way; or feeding mothers, should particularly let their health care provider aware of their condition. Acai berry benefits are best when you are cautious and use the supplement in proper way. Acai berry benefits are huge, we still do not have any data that shows any particular problem that has arisen due to overdose of the fruit.

In another recent study a purified form of anthocyanins was given to laboratory mice. This study concluded that the mice in the control group who received the purified anthocyanins were able to reduce their body fat and maintain it whereas the group of mice that were given the placebo and another group of mice that were given the actual fruit did not. - 17274
