Benefits of Acai Berry



Acai - A Small but Powerful Berry

The Acai Berry (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) is often called a "Super food" due to it's dense nutritional qualities and numerous health benefits. But what exactly are Acai berries?
The Acai fruit only grows high atop a plant in the Amazon basin of SouthAcai Berries 1 America and the locals have known about it for centuries where it's known for it's legendary health benefits and healing powers. However, only recently has the rest of the world become aware of this almost magical fruit. Although it was used by health insiders previously it was really brought to our attention originally due largely in part to anti-aging expert and doctor, Dr. Nicolas Perricone.
One of the reasons the Acai Berry remained almost unknown was because the potency of the fruit deteriorates rapidly and loses it's powerful properties soon after it's harvested, thus exporting Acai berries was not feasible until lately. Modern technology has provided the solution with better harvesting techniques and they are able to preserve the vitamins and nutrients or the Acai berry.

Health Benefits of the Acai Berry

When consumed on a regular basis, the Acai berry offers many health benefits. The Acai fruit is good for the body mainly because of its antioxidant properties. It is able to rid the body of harmful toxins in a relatively short period of time. The antioxidant process starts in about 2 hours after consumption of the Acai berry.
As a result, shortly after consumption of Acai berries, an individual may start to feel aboost in energy levels. Lethargy will be removed, leaving more energy for other daily activities. It improves mental claritypromotes sound sleep and even helps withdigestive functions.

As you probably understand by now, the Acai berry helps improve the general health of the entire body by removing harmful toxins. Blood circulation is improved when the toxins are removed.
Improved blood circulation eventually leads to slowing down of the aging process. Skin will look healthier, andcholesterol levels are regulated. The heart, which is one of the most important muscle in the human body, also starts to become stronger. If the body is currently suffering from any physical injuries, the improved blood circulation and the strong heart will certainly help speed up the healing process.
Given such benefits, it would be a good idea to incorporate some Acai berries into our daily diet.

Antioxidants of the acai berry

Of all the benefits of the Acai berry, the antioxidant properties are given the most attention. Perhaps that's because most of the health benefits offered by the Acai berry are related to its antioxidant properties. Being antioxidant means that the berry is capable of getting rid of harmful toxins in the body.
Toxins may cause injuries or diseases in the human body. They may come from our daily diet, or from the environment. Every day we are exposed to harmful toxins in the environment. Such toxins come from pesticides, mold, heavy metals, chloroform (found in washing agents) and other substances.

In addition, some of the food that we consume may contain their own toxins. For instance, we may be unaware of pesticide on vegetables, or harmful toxins from certain type of fish. Sometimes, symptoms such as dizziness and headaches result from consuming such harmful toxins.
Of course, if the condition is severe, always seek professional medical help immediately. However, sometimes toxins may just be building up in the body, with no visible symptoms showing. This may lead to lethargy and listlessness. The affected individual may also feel sleepy. This is because blood circulation is impeded by the harmful toxins. And when blood circulation slows down, the brain receives less oxygen. Hence, this leads to drowsiness and a persistent lack of energy.
