The Healthy Acai Berry

If this tiny berry super fruit had grown in Africa, there could have been no famine or malnutrition in the continent. Acai is shown as small yet mighty, being declared by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, an expert in anti-aging matters, as the world's newest super food. As his book, the Perricone Promises, and TV appearances pile up due to popularity demands, so does acai in its meteoric rise to fame as the world’s most effective anti-oxidant, shaking up numbers of other food varieties as grapes, blueberries, and apple in ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity).

The wild river banks of northern Amazon is where this tiny acai started. A reason why indigenous tribes have survived there when the others have long gone to eternity is that it’s been used as food and antidote by the inhabitants of that area for centuries now.

Let’s start off with why Acai Juice is so fondly called as a super anti-oxidant. Unlike commercially produced skin whiteners like glutathione, acai cleanses your system from dreadful toxins and aids digestion, not only giving you a fair and supple skin. This tiny berry also shields your body from radical cells that can cause not only premature aging but cancer as well. If you ever tried using some detoxification measures, you’ll know what I mean by frequent trips to the rest room to relieve yourself. Acai doesn't have that case. Its cleansing is done naturally. Your heart is safe even with its rich protein content. Acai has vegetable proteins which, unlike those found in animals, can’t cause cholesterol build-up in your system. Its rich amino acid content on the other hand regulates good cholesterol. Our body still needs cholesterol, you know, if only to function normally. Its charms of being the number one health drink in gourmet bars and fitness centers has also been boosted by its having a high level of amino acid content. These amino acids can help shape up muscles and boost its lucky users’ physical strength and endurance.

Those shelves of health bars and fitness areas shouldn't only be the place to leave super acai’s irresistible charms. Its taste of chocolate mixed with berry is worth the regular consumption of everyone, not only of health buffs and body building enthusiasts. Acai­ with its day-to-day benefits of enhancing self-esteem, sexuality, good quality of sleep, mental acuity, and even clearer vision is so valuable to miss and leave up to the hands of only those who can afford a lifetime fitness program.
