Why Acai Berry Products Have Received Critical Acclaim

By Chris Channing

Losing weight and finding healthy foods is now a task that the majority of the world is, thankfully, starting to take part in. One such "super food" that is being investigated is the acai berry. This berry in particular is being boasted as a new miracle fruit- but can it live up to the hype?

Finding a fruit you have haven't tried before is, granted, a little daunting. Acai berries have been hiding under your nose the whole time, since they are very easily found in health food stores around the world. Even if you live in a small community that has a poor selection of health foods, you could use the Internet to obtain dried acai berries or extract in which to consume.

How you consume the berry will determine the nutritional content you gain from them. Just like boiling vegetables can remove nutritional value, freezing fruits can do the same thing. If you want the full effect it is recommended you consume the berries whole and fresh. Otherwise a concentrated mix of juices or extract can give the same results as raw berries.

Over the first few weeks you will start to notice you feel healthier. Acai berries are considered to be antioxidants, which have been known to keep the body clean and healthy. Acai juice has been shown in studies to outrank orange juice, apple juice, and certain types of tea in the ability of the beverage to act as an antioxidant. Other juices such as pomegranate juice still ranked higher, however.

As physicians have always said, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is key to losing weight while on an exercise routine. Marketers who claim that the acai berry is a cure-all fruit are sadly mistaken, but it does no doubt help bring about weight loss through a healthier immune system, which in turn stimulates more energy. Be careful of false claims, as the FDA has not released results of official studies yet to the general public.

There are no known major health defects associated with consuming acai berries. However, it is a good idea to consult your nutrition consultant or physician to see if you should work the berries into your daily consumption routine. Acai berries have been known to speed up heart rate in some cases, and if one has a problem with the heart of related condition, it could contribute to a health problem.

Final Thoughts

Acai berries have a lot of controversy shrouded around them. Keep in mind there are no official studies out confirming the drastic effects that some marketers claim there are. Be wary of any limited time offers or free trials as well, and be sure to read the fine print! - 17274
