The Acai Berry

by David King

The Brazilian fruit called the Acai Berry is rich in
vitamins, protein and fiber. Those are not the only health
benefits to the Acai Berry. The Acai Berry is also packed
with antioxidants and omega fatty acids, the good fatty
acids that most of us don't not get enough of.

Acai Berry and Antioxidants

The Acai Berry is loaded with antioxidants. These
antioxidants are extremely important to the long term health
of our bodies as they counteract the effects of free
radicals in our body. By simply increasing the amount of our
antioxidants we can reduce the chances of illnesses and
cancers.

Our bodies do not produce enough antioxidants on there own
so we need to increase our levels. You can do this by
consuming plenty of brightly colored fruits and vegetables
such as carrots, tomatoes and you can even go as far as to
drink  red wine. What makes the Acai Berry a particularly
attractive addition to your diet is that the Acai Berry
packs quite the antioxidant punch. This little pitted berry
has twice as much antioxidant power as blueberries, one of
the fruits that is well known as one of our best sources.

Essential Fatty Acids

Our bodies produce Omega 9 fatty acids so it is not
essential that we find a supplement for it. Omega 3 and 6 on
the other hand our bodies do not produce and they are also
considered the most important of the  3 fatty acids that we
need for maximum health.

The Acai Berry comes packed with all three essential fatty
acids which makes it that much more of a super fruit.
Deficiencies in essential fatty acids like omega 3 can
contribute to cancer, depression, increased risk of heart
attacks and other serious health conditions. Using an Acai
Berry supplement can further reduce your chances of getting
a serious illness.

The Acai Berry is also a huge source of fiber, protein and
vitamins, particularly the b vitamins. With the acai berry
containing antioxidants and all three Omega's you can see
clearly why researchers are calling this little pitted berry
a super fruit.

Grocery stores do not carry the acai berry, it does not ship
well. The best way to add the acai berry to your diet is
either through a pill form or though a juice.
