Uncover Additional Acai Berry Diet Advice

By Nancy H Thomas

Because it is being touted as one of the world's "superfoods" the acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) has been proclaimed to be a miracle food for weight loss, anti-aging, cancer prevention and more.

A lot of of these claims are probably highly exaggerated since there are many, many highly nutritious "superfoods" found in nature and there is no single "miracle" food that can cure all that ails you. The acai berry is just another in a long line of nutritious foods.

Nonetheless, the acai berry does have one of the utmost antioxidant capacities of any food found on the planet. It even has twice as many antioxidants as blueberries and as much as 10 times as much as red grapes. It also boasts a good supply of essential fatty acids in the form of Omega 3, 6 and 9 and monounsaturated fats in the form of oleic acid, which is similar to olive oil. And along with all of that it also has a large quantity of phytosterols and healthy dietary fiber.

When it comes down to it the acai berry is one of the most healthy and rich with antioxidants foods ever found in nature and our bodies require and even crave these nutrients to function at optimal levels. But this small berry and the products created from it are not the miracle cure for everything that ails you such as anti-aging, fat fighting and disease prevention. The acai berry is just one component in the search for great health.

Actually, it has been found that while it is possible to get antioxidants and other nutrients from supplements it is far superior to get your nutrients from your diet. All nutrients including antioxidants, essential fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins and all the others work best when the synergy of many nutrients work together in concert. In other words, when it comes to nutrition the synergy of the whole is far superior to the singularity of just one.

Thus if you want to get the highest benefit from the acai berry you need to include it as part of a balanced, highly nutritious diet that includes many other high antioxidant foods including blueberries, pomegranates, pumpkin, kale, spinach, sweet potatoes and the list goes on and on. And of course, the best advice for diet and for the consumption of all foods including highly nutritious foods is "all things in moderation".

A healthy, well-balanced and nutritious diet plan can benefit from the addition of acai berries and the related products. The outstanding nutritional value and the high antioxidant qualities can aid your body in reducing the effects of aging, losing weight and the prevention of disease but not by working alone and only as an integral part of a complete healthy diet.

High nutrition requires the synergy of a large spectrum of nutrients working together in harmony and one food, no matter how nutritious cannot do it alone. What's more, with all foods and all nutrition, moderation is key. - 17274
