The acai berry is is strange in the way that only 10% of the berry is actually
edible, the main reason for this is it has a large stone which takes up most of
the berry. It is a dark purple berry slightly smaller than a grape, acai is
more communally mixed with ice cream, meal bars and also energy drinks. The
acai berry requires rapid precessing after its late
harvest.
The acai berry grows in the rain forests of the amazon in south america and is
considered by some as being more than an organic fruit. These rain forests
remain untouched by any sort of manufacturing, everything in this region is
grown the way it was intended by nature and no mass production is add in any
way.
Pronunciation
of this fruit is "ah-sigh-ee", acai, or euterpe oleracea (arecaceae)
has been seen to excell in heathly attributes and greatly aids metabolism. It
is highly promoted by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, a health guru and best-selling
author, calling the acai a "superfood."
It
wasnt until the turn of the millenium when the acai berry was dicovered to be
in north america and it hails from the palmberry tree. It usually grows in the
amazon, the natives of this region cultivate the berry and have enjoying it
health producing properties for many years now. Acai is usually consumed as a
puree or in a smoothee or milk shake, this drink is more communally served on
the Brazilian beaches and tropical resorts, although acai is an aquired taste,
as it tastes mostly of wine wine with a hint of choclate.
Acai is abundant in anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant that has been proven to
combat cholesterol and free radicals, consuming acai has been proven to reduce
blood related disorders and relax the blood vessels. It is also a great help in
preventing arthresclerosis and is a powerful combatant of cancer. Red wine is
healthy for you because of the anthocyanin content from the grapes. the Acai
berry has over X30 the anthocyanin than any grape.
Aside
from anthocyanins, another benefit of the acai berry is an acid called aleic
acid which is very good for the heart. Oleic acid also keeps a cancer-causing
oncogene (this is found in many breast cancer patents) from acting up, Acai is
also great for anyone who has any sort of digestive conditions.
Acai
is good as a dietary supplement, it is very low in fat and colestrol and yet
high in fiber. These benefits are usually found in the skin, the acai skin
contains nutrients such as phytosterols, vitamin C, E, manganese, chromium,
copper, and even boron as well as a few others including calcium, acai contains
more calcium than even milk.
In
recent studies have been conducted and acai has other benefits other than the
ones that have been mentioned in this article such ailments would include a
variety of virus's and prostate problems. It also helps improve lipoprotein
metabolism and reinforces your immune system. One of the less known attributes
of acai is it is said to have very powerful aphrodisiac properties, because of
its revitalizing qualities. To produce this aphrodisiac, you need to mix the
acai pulp with guarana another fruit grown in south america, although this is
the most powerful combination the acai berry can be mixed with any fruit or
mixture even milk or beer.
Unfortunately
now the acai berry is not found in any store in the united states this is
mainly because the fruit spoils very quickly, the only way that this berry can
be got is thought a frozen or pureed form. In brazil the athletes would take
the berry as part of their daily diet and consider it a must for a healthy
lifestyle
The
acai berry is small and although you can find the nutrients that it has
elsewhere the difference here is that acai crams all of them into a small
space, this has been considered to be a premium way to undertake a good healthy
lifestyle.
Other
benefits of this amazing berry include greater energy, stamina, digestion and
mental stimulation. Drink acai in juice or smoothie form also helps you sleep
better at night. Acai also includes more proteins than an egg white, it also
serves as a revitalizing agent supplying you with the energy of a speeding
train, this is a good way to increase sex drive and
