The Acai Berry Natural Energizer

By Carter Sinclair

Studies have shown how poorly nourished people are. It has lead to an explosion in the health and food industry. The Acai berry stands at the top of the ladder when it comes to the most healthy foods.

About 80% of the Acai fruit is made up of the seed, the fruit as a whole is about one inch in diameter and is very small. The berry is usually purple but sometimes the berry is green. While the berry is very healthy the seed offers no nutritional value and is often used for livestock feed or top soil.

The ORAC lists Acai berry as one of the highest foods on their chart. That is the reason why the fruit is so sought after. It is the skin and pulp that offer this nutritional value. It is sold as various items such as yogurts, juices, ice cream, and can be dried or frozen.

The ORAC measures the level of antioxidants in a fruit and their ability to fight off harmful free radicals. Acai berry scored over a thousand on the assay. This means that it is very potent and very good at fighting off free radicals. Current studies on the Acai berry are revealing benefits such as amino acids, fatty acids, and other nutrients that the body needs for energy and metabolic functioning.

Coffee and other caffeinated beverages contain high levels of sugar and their energy often loses its kick after a short time period, Acai berry on the other hand will give you energy that will last longer and still has great nutritional value.

The Acai berry is so versatile in that it tastes great in a number of different diet choices. It is a great addition to many different types of foods and has a taste that is a mix between chocolate and semi sweet berries. - 17273
