What is the Acai Berry?
Originally a small red berry known only to the indigenous peoples of Brazil, the Acai berry is a fruit rich in anthocyanins (a phytonutrients), vitamins A, B, and E, minerals (manganese, and copper), proteins, omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids, potassium, and dietary fiber.
Properties and Uses:
- Antioxidants. The Acai berry is high in free radical fighting antioxidants, which can help prevent chronic heart disease.
- Omega Fatty Acids. Despite how they sound, these fatty acids are good for you. They aid in increasing brain function (preventing memory loss), and blood circulation. They fight heart disease, skin issues, fatigue, depression, and help prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases (cancer, arthritis).
- Phytosterols. These plant sterols are crucial in the battle against the bad cholesterol that comes from the foods you eat. As a result, you have lower cholesterol levels. Also, phytosterols boost the immune system, and can aid in cancer prevention.
- Dietary Fiber. Fiber is a digestive aid, which means it can help prevent constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulitis.
- Anti-aging. Because of the high levels of antioxidants, an incredible mixture of vitamins, and anthocyanins, the Acai berry is much sought after to slow the effects of aging.
