Is Acai Berry Beneficial?

By Carter Sinclair

The Acai berry is the newest health trend if you have been paying attention. Acai berry which is native to the Amazon rain forest is finding its way to the U.S. and to other places all around the world as leading health food supplement.

So, why the buzz about the acai berry? It turns out that the acai berry has been held in high regard for centuries among the native peoples of the region where the acai berry is harvested. For hundreds of years it's been used for a variety of medicinal purposes, and it's prized for the ability to give greater energy and vitality.

The question remains, is there any truth to these claims and is the acai berry really beneficial? The answer, surprisingly, is yes. Science is just beginning to unlock some of the incredible properties of this tasty purple berry.

Acai berry is packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins. It is rich with vitamins B, C, and E. It also contains Omega 6 and 9 fatty acids. The high fiber content also promotes healthy digestion and cancer fighting properties as well as aging.

Acai contains a very high antioxidant level more than any other known vegetable or fruit on the ORAC. Antioxidants are necessary in combating against harmful free radicals that can damage the immune system and cause your skin to age quicker.

Because acai has a short shelf life and is only found in the Amazon rain forest, acai berries have become popular around the world in the form of juices and powders. These products contain the same nutrients as unprocessed acai berries, and can be easily added to smoothies, shakes, snacks, and other foods.There are also supplements that harness the powerful nutrients found in the acai berry. - 17273
