Synergy Of Nutrients With Acai Berries

By Dorothy Taylor

The acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) has been touted as the world's greatest "superfood" and it has been credited with many amazing claims from weight loss to cancer prevention and even anti-aging.

Many of these claims may be somewhat exaggerated as there is not one "miracle" food that supercedes all others but the fact is that there are actually many, many "miraculous" foods and the acai berry is just one of them.

This little berry that is found only in the Amazon rainforest does have some of the highest antioxidant qualities ever found on the planet. It has twice as many antioxidants as blueberries and even 10 times as many as red grapes. It also has monounsaturated fats in the form of Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9 and oleic acid. Plus it is rich with phytosterols and healthy dietary fiber.

The main thing is that the acai berry is one of the healthiest and highest antioxidant laden foods found in the world. Our bodies need these healthy nutrients to function at optimal levels. But this little berry is not the only answer to all of your nutritional needs and it is not the only thing that can aid you when it comes to anti-aging, fat-fighting and disease prevention. The acai berry is only a part of the quest of fantastic health.

It has been confirmed by science that while it is possible to get antioxidants and other nutrients from supplements it is by far better to obtain your nutrients from the consumption of a wholesome diet. Every one of the nutrients that we need as well as the outstanding nutrients that are found in the acai berry work at their optimal levels when combined with other nutrients. In nutrition the synergy of the whole beats a single nutrient every time.

So if you want to get the highest benefit from the acai berry you need to include it as part of a balanced, highly nutritious diet that includes many other high antioxidant foods including blueberries, pomegranates, pumpkin, kale, spinach, sweet potatoes and the list goes on and on. And of course, the best advice for diet and for the consumption of all foods including highly nutritious foods is "all things in moderation".

The acai berry is a very healthy addition to a well-balanced and nutritious diet. The antioxidant qualities and high nutritional value can help you to reduce the effects of aging, lose weight, prevent serious disease, improve your energy and more, but not alone and by itself, but only as a part of a healthy and nutritious diet plan.

When it comes to high nutrition the synergy of a whole spectrum of nutrients is by far greater to the nutritional value of just one food, regardless of how nutritious that food may be. And when it comes to diet, self-control is always the key. - 17273
