Acai Berry Is It Beneficial?

By Carter Sinclair

If you've been following health trends, chances are pretty high that you've heard of the acai berry. Acai berries, which are native to the Amazon rain forest, have been gaining in popularity as a health food supplement in the United States and all over the world.

So, why the buzz about the acai berry? It turns out that the acai berry has been held in high regard for centuries among the native peoples of the region where the acai berry is harvested. For hundreds of years it's been used for a variety of medicinal purposes, and it's prized for the ability to give greater energy and vitality.

The question remains, is there any truth to these claims and is the acai berry really beneficial? The answer, surprisingly, is yes. Science is just beginning to unlock some of the incredible properties of this tasty purple berry.

Acai contains a high amount of fiber which is necessary for digestion and helps to fight cancer cells and slows down the aging process. It also contains essential fatty acids Omega-6 and Omega-9. It is packed with vitamins E, C, and B.

The acai berry contains more antioxidants per calorie than any other known fruit or vegetable. In addition to its high antioxidant content, it contains anthocyanins - a substance found in grapes that gives red wine its heart-healthy properties. Acai also has untold numbers of trace elements and micronutrients. While it's impossible to survive on one food alone, acai comes closest to being the perfect human food.

Because acai has a short shelf life and is only found in the Amazon rain forest, acai berries have become popular around the world in the form of juices and powders. These products contain the same nutrients as unprocessed acai berries, and can be easily added to smoothies, shakes, snacks, and other foods.There are also supplements that harness the powerful nutrients found in the acai berry. - 17269
