Acai Berry – Health Benefits
November 22nd, 2010Acai has been a vital element in the diet of the Amazonian tribes people for centuries. Happily ready to grow easily and uncared for, acai fruit is plentiful and has evidenced essential for their health, as it is packed with super antioxidants – vital for the tribes people having to survive in the harsh rain forests, devoid of the range of naturally accessible foods that we in the west can produce.
Modern science has shown how this little purple acai berry has formed such an important position in the lives of these remote people.
Acai helps improve your general health
The acai berry’s natural nutritional content is packed with super-antioxidants and essential minerals, which naturally support good health. The regular use of Acai berries helps to promote superior digestion (with a side effect of some weight loss), stabilizes blood pressure, boosts energy and above all fights anti-aging.
Possible endorsement against chronic diseases and cancer
Research is continuing to show that acai helps fight free radicals which attack the body. These free radicals can cause serious issues such as cancer and ruin your DNA. The high antioxidant content of acai fights these free radicals and helps protect the body against further harm.
Protection against cardiovascular diseases
Acai is rich with essential fatty acids. These healthy fatty acids increase the level of good cholesterol in the body and at the same time reduce the levels of bad cholesterol. They also increase the absorption capacity of essential vitamins A, D, E and K in the blood. Plant phytosterols are also abundant in the acai berry. These phytosterols check the assimilation and piling up of bad cholesterol on the walls of the intestine, amongst other vital roles.
Help with digestive problems
Acai berry is also a rich source of healthy enzymes. These enzymes not only support the process of digestion but at the same time prevents constipation and acidity – a vital thing in these days of processed foods.
The main challenge with the acai is that it loses it’s nutritional content from 24 hours after being harvested. That is also the reason why this fruit has only been well known and enjoyed within the Amazon rain forests.
However thanks to modern technology and the rapidly growing discoveries about the potential health benefits of acai, acai has been prefabricated accessible to the rest of the world by “freeze-drying” it. This is the least harmful way of preserving most of acai’s benefits, and grant it to be prefabricated in to high grade supplements.
Now anyone anywhere in the world can reap the benefits of this insignificant looking fruit without having to travel all the way to Amazonian rain forests.
