10 Benefits of Acai Berries you Might Not Believe
For starters a lot of the so called “facts” about the Acai berry have never been proven in lab environments. Since this miracle food isn’t grown locally it’s difficult to get the same quality here at home as is found in Brazil and other native areas.
How ever this hasn’t stopped numerous supplement companies from created an Acai berry extract supplement.
I want to share with you 10 potential benefits of taking Acai berry daily or including the pulp of the fruit in your diet. After you read these you should have a better understanding just why the Acai berry is called a super fruit.
1.) High Protein Level: That’s right, the Acai berry has a similar protein make up of an egg. The good news is that an egg also sports a high amount of cholesterol which you don’t get from Acai.
2.) High Antioxidants: This is the benefit that supplement companies keep preaching. The Acai berry is higher in more types of antioxidants then any other fruit or food known to man. Not to mention there is a greater variety of antioxidants then any other food as well.
Of course unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you know that antioxidants fight free radicals, reduce your chance of cancer and other illnesses and can even fight aging.
3.) Acai’s Anthocyanins: Anthocyanins have been known to reduce your chance of cancer, fight off old age and a slew of other positive health benefits. Both grapes and red wine have been known to be great suppliers of anthocyanins, how ever Acai has 30 times more then grapes.
4.) Minerals in Acai: There are more minerals that our body needs in Acai berries then any other food (fruit or vegetable) known to man.
5.) High Glucosamine level: No need for explanation here if you suffer from arthritis. Glucosamine has many additional benefits for those suffering from joint pain.
6.) Trace Elements in Acai Berries: Testing down to very minute levels in the Acai berry revealed that the Trace elements in this fruit are some of the most complete every observed.
7.) Amino Acids: Acai berry has all of the essential and non essential Amino Acids that the body needs to stay healthy.
8.) Omega’s: That’s right Acai has been reported (by Dr. Perricone in his book Perricone Promise) that Acai contains essential fatty Omega acids 3, 6, 9.
9.) High in Fibre Content: Few of us get enough fibre in our daily diets. Adding one more fruit or vegetable that gives us a bit more is going to help our over all health.
10.)Low Glycemic Index: This is of course fantastic for diabetics.
There you have it, 10 benefits of Acai berries that you may or may not have known about. Of course, not all of these benefits are as great when taking a supplement that contains Acai berry extract like Acai berry select, how ever you’re going to be getting a lot more benefit then if you don’t enhance your diet with Acai at all.
For those interested in getting some of the benefits from the Acai berry I suggest you consider a ordering a one month supply of Acai Berry Select. They have some great promotions running, quite often you can get several bottles free with a two or three month supply order.
