Uncover The Nutrients Of The Acai Berry

By Bonnie J Hughes

The acai berry has been touted as the world's greatest "superfood" and it has been attributed with many amazing claims from weight loss to cancer prevention and even anti-aging.

A lot of of these claims may be somewhat exaggerated 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.

However, the acai berry does have one of the top antioxidant capacities of any food found on the planet. It even has two times as many antioxidants as blueberries and as much as 10 times as much as red grapes. It also boasts a good supply of essential fatty acids in the form of Omega 3, 6 and 9 and monounsaturated fats in the form of oleic acid, which is similar to olive oil. And along with all of that it also has a large quantity of phytosterols and healthy dietary fiber.

When it comes down to it the acai berry is one of the most healthy and rich with antioxidants foods ever found in nature and our bodies want and even crave these nutrients to function at optimal levels. Although this small berry and the products created from it are not the miracle cure for everything that ails you such as anti-aging, fat fighting and disease prevention. The acai berry is just one component in the pursuit 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 superior to get your nutrition from the consumption of a nourishing diet. The optimum nutrition that our bodies need and all of the healthy nutrients as well as 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 whole healthy diet is a lot superior to any food or nutrient on its own.

The highest benefit that you can get from acai berries and the products made from it are when it is included as part of a sensible, healthy diet plan that consists of several 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 have significant antioxidants. But the top dietary advice is "all things in moderation".

Acai berries and the products made from them can be an exceptionally healthy contribution to a well-balanced and nutritious diet plan. The high nutrition and the excellent antioxidant qualities can help you reduce the effects of aging, lose extra weight and prevent serious disease, not on its own but only as a component of a nutritious overall diet plan.

High nutrition requires the synergy of a large spectrum of nutrients working together in harmony and one food, no matter how nutritious cannot do it alone. Besides, with all foods and all nutrition, moderation is key. - 17269
