The Rationale Why Acai Berries May Help You Drop Weight

By Rachel V Barnes

The acai berry is a vigorous nutritional superfood that is only grown in the rainforests of Brazil. If you have noticed any of the claims about this miraculous fruit you would see that is has been touted as a benefit for everything from weight loss to sickness prevention to anti-aging.

Nevertheless, is it really possible that this tiny, little berry can live up to all of those excessive claims? The reply is yes and the information are emerging more and more with every scientific study.

The acai berry contains a variety of nutrients including an array of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, phytosterols and dietary fiber. It is really one of the most healthful foods ever found in nature.

Recent study involving one of the flavonoids found in the acai berry indicates that this berry may be effectual for weight loss and disease prevention. The acai berry contains an exceptionally robust flavonoid called anthocyanins. This is the water-soluble, vacuolar pigment the makes the deep purple, deep blue and deep red colors in some of the healthiest foods found in nature.

This pigment is responsible for making blueberries the deep blue-black color, for making red grapes that dark reddish purple red, and purple cabbage purple. This pigment is also found in eggplant, blackberries, purple corn, red wine, cherries and strawberries. The tiny little acai berry has one of the utmost anthocyanin contents of any other food.

Anthocyanins were found to prevent fatness in laboratory mice in a few current scientific studies. In the studies the mice were fed a high-fat diet. One group was given purified anthocyanins from blueberries and strawberries. The group given the anthocyanins in fact gained less weight and achieved a lower body fat level than the control groupl

An remarkable side note is that another group that were fed tangible blueberries and strawberries did not have the same consequence and that group actually had more heaviness. It is of course, too soon to surmise how these findings might affect humans but the fact of the matter is that anthocyanins are an extremely vigorous nutrient at any rate.

This is by no means proof and every person must come to their own conclusions but the anthocyanins consequence may somewhat explain why so many people have had such great victory with weight loss by using acai berry products. Since the acai berry is so perishable and it must be quickly processed to preserve the nutrients, many of these products will really contain a more purified form of anthocyanins. - 17274
