See The Nutrients Of The Acai Berry

By Ashley R Richardson

One of the world's greatest "superfoods" is a tiny, little berry that is grown only in the rainforests of Brazil. The acai berry has been touted as a miracle food for anti-aging, weight loss, disease prevention and more.

A lot 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 healthy foods.

The acai berry does boast some of the highest antioxidant qualities found on the planet. It has two times 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 rich with healthy dietary fiber and phytosterols.

All in all the acai berry is an exceptionally healthy and nutritious food loaded with antioxidants and several of the other nutrients that our bodies crave and require 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 pursuit 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 better to obtain your nutrients from the consumption of a wholesome diet. Every one of the nutrients that we need including 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.

The highest benefit that you can obtain from acai and the products made from it are when it is included as part of a sensible, healthy diet plan that consists of many 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 best dietary advice is "all things in moderation".

A healthy, balanced and healthy diet plan can benefit from the addition of acai berries and the related products. The outstanding 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
