Acai: The World's Miracle Fruit

By:


If you haven't yet tried acai berry juice in some form or another, then head down to your local Jamba Juice or smoothie place sometime soon. Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is taking the diet and health food world by storm because of the many benefits that this natural berry has to offer.

The acai berry is native to the Amazon Rainforests in Brazil and is harvested by the thousands to create a thick, edible pulp. The popularity of acai has just recently reached mainstream America, although doctors and dieticians have sworn by it for many more years because of its superb antioxidant power. The acai berry has over five times the antioxidant power of blueberries, which are another well known antioxidant berry.

The fact that it is an excellent source of antioxidants is only one of the many benefits of this delicious berry. Acai, also known as the miracle berry, has numerous benefits for medical and health problems, It supports the immune system, aids in weight loss, improves digestion, promotes healthy sleep, increases energy, fights cancer and heart disease and lowers your blood pressure. If there is another natural food out there that can do all of that, it's certainly not going to taste as good.
Acai has best been described as far as its taste goes as a wonderful blend of berries and chocolate. Many health professionals and dietitians are talking about how the acai berry is not replacing wheat grass for people's daily antioxidant drink.

The acai berry can also help with weight loss. Because of its high amounts of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, amino acids and phytosterols, acai helps your body function better. It helps you process foods easier and burn fat more efficiently. The acai berry helps your metabolism work faster and also suppresses your appetite. Acai is full of fiber, making you feel fuller to help with random cravings.

Although the acai berry is in high demand, it is also somewhat difficult to find at times. Most common grocery stores do not carry it so you may have to find a natural foods or health food grocery store to satisfy your needs. The acai berry comes in a wide variety of forms from frozen chunks to bottled liquid, each form being useful in itself. Most health smoothie shops sell acai smoothies, so check out one close to you and ask them about the benefits of acai.
