The "Superfood" You Must Add To Your Diet, Acai Berry

By Abdulah Hayes

A tiny purple berry native to the rain forests of Brazil is growing in worldwide popularity. This is known as the Acai (ah-sigh-ee) berry which has great claims that have gotten everyone on earth talking about. This dark purple berry is the fruit of an Amazon palm tree and is packed full of the kind of stuff that dreams are made of. Imagine a fruit which is full of all the good things which give the human body energy, essential vitamins and nutrients plus an anti aging agent. This fruit appears to have it all.

Better than the great benefits of drinking red wine, and even better than the act of eating fresh fruit, this berry promotes good heart health and encourages digestive system health. The benefits do not stop there. The berries contain fatty acids which allow the body to absorb the omega oils to benefit the aging bodies and joints. Joints which are supple will enable the older person to be active for much longer without the aches and pains of arthritis.

The berry also lays claims to keeping insulin levels steady. Certainly, this is good for the body since it has anti-inflammatory abilities - which left alone will cause the body to get older, however diabetics might also have a more easy time managing their blood sugar levels which could require them to take less medicine.

Even weight watchers are catered for " or so it may seem " with some claiming to have lost weight after taking this supplement for some time. The juice of this small berry is also beneficial to the people suffering from cancer. No wonder then that this small berry is being hailed the 'wonder' food and being advertised on prestigious TV shows.

Many people are testifying to its efficacy and have literally flooded the internet with testimonials about its effects on even the most diverse of conditions. Of course, even if there is only a shred of truth in all of these claims, then someone somewhere will benefit from taking this supplement. Does it hurt to the try?
