Extra Acai Berry Diet Advice

By Pamela Baker

One of the world's best "superfoods" is a small, little berry that is grown only in the rainforests of Brazil. The acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) berry has been touted as a miracle food for anti-aging, weight loss, disease prevention and more.

Lots 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.

The acai berry does boast some of the highest antioxidant qualities found on the planet. It has twice as many antioxidants as blueberries and even 10 times as many as red grapes. Not only that but it also has a good supply of monounsaturated fats and essential fatty acids in the forms of oleic acid and Omega 3, 6 and 9. It is also loaded with healthy dietary fiber and phytosterols.

All in all the acai berry is an extremely healthy and nutritious food loaded with antioxidants and many of the other nutrients that our bodies long for and require to function at an optimal level. But 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.

It has been proven by science that while it is possible to get antioxidants and other nutrients from supplements it is by far healthier to obtain your nutrients from the consumption of a wholesome diet. Every single one of the nutrients that we need as well as the outstanding nutrients that are found in the acai berry work at their optimal levels when combined with other nutrients. In nutrition the synergy of the whole beats a single nutrient every time.

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, 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.

Because when it comes to nutrition the synergy of the whole range of nutrients is by far more successful than the singularity of just one food no matter how nutritious that food may be and moderation is always the key. - 17269
