Additional Acai Berry Diet Advice

By Donna Thompson

Since 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 may be somewhat overstated as there is not one "miracle" food that supercedes all others but the fact is that there are actually many, many "miraculous" foods and the acai berry is just one of them.

This tiny berry that is found only in the Amazon rainforest does have some of the highest antioxidant qualities ever found on the planet. It has two times as many antioxidants as blueberries and even 10 times as many as red grapes. It also has monounsaturated fats in the form of Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9 and oleic acid. And it is rich with phytosterols and healthy dietary fiber.

All in all the acai berry is an exceptionally healthy and nutritious food loaded with antioxidants and loads of of the other nutrients that our bodies long for and need to function at an optimal level. However this berry and the products made from this berry are not the miracle answer to your anti-aging, fat fighting, and disease prevention quest for great health.

While it is possible to get all of the nutrients you need from supplements it has been confirmed by science that it is by far greater to get your nutrition from the consumption of a healthful diet. The optimum nutrition that our bodies crave and all of the healthy nutrients counting those found in the acai berry work at their optimum levels when they are combined with other nutrients, the nutritional value and synergy of a complete healthy diet is a lot superior to any food or nutrient on its own.

The highest advantage that you can receive from acai berries and the products made from it are when it is included as part of a balanced, healthy diet plan that consists of a lot of healthy and high antioxidant foods such as blueberries, pomegranates, spinach, kale, pumpkin, sweet potatoes and the list continues on as there is an abundance of highly nutritious and healthy foods out there. Dark chocolate and red wines both contain significant antioxidants. But the top dietary advice 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 excellent 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.

When it comes to high nutrition the synergy of a whole spectrum of nutrients is by far superior to the nutritional value of just one food, regardless of how nutritious that food may be. And when it comes to diet, moderation is always the key. - 17269
