The Acai Berry, Today's Superfood

By I Russell

The latest craze in the world is this tiny berry that can be found in the Brazilian rain forest. The Acai looks like this. (ah-sigh-ee) All the world is talking about the berry.

This amazing berry is the fruit of palm tree from the Amazon and is packed full of nutritional 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. The Acai berry appears to have it all.

With more benefits then drinking red wine, and even better than eating fresh fruit, the Acai berry promotes good heart health, improves digestive health, reduces inflamation and has more antioxidants then any other food.

The Acai berry's health benefits don't stop there. The fatty acids in the Acai berry enable the body to absorb those omega oils which benefit the joints and aging bodies. Joints flexibility will enable the older person to be active for much longer without the aches and pains of growing old.

The berry also lays claims to keeping insulin levels steady. Of course, this benefits not only the body because of the anti-inflammatory properties - which if left unchecked will age the body, but also diabetics may have an easier time controlling their insulin levels which could result in them using less drugs.

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.

Cancer sufferers too are not left out in the cold and many claim to benefit from the juice of this small berry.

No wonder then that the Acai berry is being called the superfood of our time and being advertised on prestigious TV shows.

Many people are claiming amazing health benefits and have literally flooded the internet with testimonials about its effects on broad range 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. Could it hurt to give it a try? - 15343
