Acai Berry and Antioxidants

By Russell Knight

There have been many claims made for the acai (pronounced as "ah-sigh-ee") berry which was discovered on the slopes of the Brazilian rain forest. Many claim health benefits far beyond any other fruit or berry and scientists have taken it upon themselves to do more research into this small insignificant fruit.

Besides the extra advantages such as making insulin stable, reducing blood pressure, supporting the intake of various vitamins, fats and other nutrients, properties of the berries are beyond imagination. Scientists are now testing this berry extract on cancer cells and leukemia cells with positive results. It is the dark color of the berry that contains all products that are good for health and especially this berry which is full of all the good stuff.

The people of North Brazil call this berry 'the fruit that cries' and is buried deep in their ancient stories. They have taken it for many years because it supports health and everybody says this gives wonderful energy when they use it regularly. Indeed, this fruit is becoming so popular that even prestigious television shows are highlighting the benefits on a regular basis!

This small berry has health value 30 times more than the red wine or olive oil. Compared to wine and oil it is easier to take, gives quicker and faster results and is without detrimental effect of wine. The fruit was available in juice form in many health foods shops and gourmet outlets but the trend now is to get it in several different forms. Many types are available such as freeze dried, pureed or in a pill. Anything suitable for your lifestyle can be found out. Quick delivery is guaranteed by a good portion of outlets willing to sell direct to the public.

Check the newspapers regularly for announcements regarding the new 'super' food. The increasing frequency of unique claims have forced scientists to seriously reconsider the veracity of these claims. Whatever discoveries come in the future, you could be already taking it so what are you waiting for?
