The Truth Concerning The Acai Berry And Fat Loss

By Ricardo R Lawrence

The remarkable antioxidant abilities of the acai berry has made it into one of the most amazing superfoods of all times. Weight loss, cardiovascular health, cancer prevention, general good health and more have been scientifically attributed to this remarkable little berry.

Right now there are many acai berry products in the stores and online. Regrettably many of these products do not contain the full potential benefits of the acai berry. If these acai berry products were processed using an inferior method of processing it is fully possible that many of the healthy nutrients have been destroyed. Some of these products may also have too many other additives such as man-made preservatives or the juice of other fruits. If this is the case the full potential benefits of the acai berry have been removed.

Heat processing, some evaporation methods, vacuum and pressure methods of processing are the inferior ways of processing the acai berry. These methods can eradicate the naturally occurring and health giving bioactive ingredients. There are many ways to process the acai berry but only a few will retain the original purity of this life-enhancing fruit. When you are purchasing these products you need to be concerned with how the berries were processed.

There are healthy fruits that can be grown almost anywhere in the world but the remarkable acai berry can only be grown in the rainforests of Brazil. Because of this it has been only in recent times that the benefits of this remarkable berry have been available to the world. The acai berry is highly perishable and it is only available now because of improvements in processing methods. But different processing methods render different results. Make sure that the product you buy is processed with the highest quality methods.

A substandard method of processing the acai berry is a process called "spray dried". This is a process where the berry is heated at high temperatures to eliminate any traces of water. Preservatives are then utilized to preserve the berry. The synthetic substances and the high temperatures break down the natural nutrients in the berry and the resulting product is of inferior quality compared to the natural fruit.

If you want a outstanding acai berry product it is important that you look for acai berry products that are processed with a freeze-drying method. This method is applied almost instantly upon the harvesting of the berry thereby terminating any natural degradation. Freeze-drying allows the berry to retain all of its natural color, consistency and nutrients. The berries can be completely reconstituted to their almost original form later just by adding water. Freeze-drying is the preferable method to process acai berries and acai berry products.

Consuming acai berry products, whether by consuming the whole berry, imbibing the juice or even swallowing the products by pill form or capsule is definitely a good way to contribute positively to your health. However you do want to make sure you are getting the complete nutritional value that you can by making sure that you are purchasing acai berry products that have used the highest quality methods of processing.

If you are spending your money on acai berry products it is important to be concerned with the processing methods used for the individual product. It can mean the difference between remarkable health benefits and outcomes or no results at all. - 17273
