The Health Benefits of the Acai Berry

By Chris Dreyer

In South America there is a fruit that grows deep in the Amazons called the acai berry. It is red/purplish and has been used as a healing tonic by the natives from the area. When the acai fruit was introduced to the United States it very quickly became one of the most popular health foods. Acai berry has been used in health drinks, as an energy enhancer, weight loss supplements, and a lot more products.

The acai fruit has one of the highest antioxidant counts of any fruit you can ingest. The acai fruit has nearly twice the antioxidant count of blueberries and surpasses grapes by as much as ten times. The berry was shown on Oprah and had Nicholas Perricone on as a guest discussing the fruit and its health benefits.

While still being studied, the acai berry is believed to increase energy, improve stamina, and improve mental focus. It also helps improve sleep, which will in turn contribute to increased energy.

Antioxidants are a leading factor to a better healthy heart. Antioxidants have shown to improve cholesterol by researchers. One of the leading contributers to heart disease is high cholesterol. That means acai berries can help prevent heart disease.

Acai fruit improves your heart health by helping it circulate more blood throughout the body. Antioxidants are known to play a special role in blood circulation.

One important study of acai berry is that it may have the ability to fight cancer. Studies have shown that the antioxidants in the berry destroy cancer cells.

The high antioxidant content in this fruit will help whatever is ailing you in some way or another. The secret that many natives knew before is finally here in the states to help people live healthier, longer lasting lives. - 17269
