Acai Berry – A Superfood from the Heart of the Jungle
Americo Tognetti | February 12, 2010A much vaunted super food has of late gained much media focus. This new super food is the Acai berry: a species of small purple berry from Brazil. It has been shown to have remarkable health benefits for the body. It is a potent antioxidant and can protect the body from such harmful effects of free radicals as cancer, aging and obesity.
When the body has free radicals, it means that it has an atom with odd numbers of electrons. Electrons come in pairs and seek a partner. They steal them from the outer coating of the cell membrane. This changes the makeup of the soft cell coating and makes it hard. The hard coating doesn’t allow oxygen and nutrition in and eventually the cell dies. The body repairs some damage, but if it changes the DNA then diseases and aging occurs. Antioxidants stop the process by supplying the extra electron and aiding the body to heal its cells. The more powerful the antioxidant, the better it is for the body. Acai is the most powerful.
Unless you have an Acai palm in your backyard, you probably will never taste the fruit itself. It has a relatively high fat content and that makes it deteriorate very rapidly after harvest. Most commercial growers process the fruit so it maintains its superior qualities. The processing entails freezing it, freeze-drying or processing the pulp into a powder. Freeze drying is one of the most effective to protect the nutrients. You can find the Acai processed to juices also.
Amazon Power is one of the companies that use the freeze drying method. This keeps all the nutrition in the powder that it forms. It also makes the transport and use of the Acai berry easier and allows the consumer to decide how they want to use the powder. Many of the people that use the Amazon Power powder like to make shakes, health drinks, add it to their juice or even sprinkle it on fruit or cereal. This versatility gives a lot more options to put the goodness of the Acai berry into the body.
The powder form has numerous advantages. You can conveniently carry packets of dried Amazon Power powder with you wherever you go. When you have your food arrives, you simply need to empty the contents of the packet into your drink, and there you have the goodness of Acai berry in your food. It is simple as it gets.
Among the uses of the powder are enhanced energy, improved stamina and resilience during exercise, better digestion, improved sleep, and better overall heart condition. Due to its potent antioxidants which are 10 fold stronger than those in red grapes, Acai berry effectively fights premature aging and cancer, increases intellectual capacity and boosts the immune system.
Acai berry is also rich in other nutrition apart from antioxidants. It contains essential electrolytes, amino acids, omega fats (which are the good fats), and is a rich source for vitamins A, B1 and E. Having Acai berry is like having a supercharged vitamin pill and much more.
Acai is not only good for health it also tastes pretty good and unique. It is quite like a berry with chocolate, only you won’t have any regrets after having it. This super food not only is healthy but is also yummy. If you haven’t tried it yet then you better do it fast. It is healthy, easy to use, and tasty. What else could one expect?
