Acai Super Berry

Secret From the Amazon

Secret From the Amazon Pronounced “ah-SIGH-ee,” the acai berry is located in the Amazon Rainforest. It is one of the many fruits located there, which is an ideal location for it, since the acai berry prospers in swampy or floodplain areas. In the floodplains, the acai palm stands approximately 15-30 meters tall with leaves up to 3 meters long. The berry, which is approximately the size and shape of a grape, grows in bunches of 700-900 berries on the palm.

The berry, which is plentiful along the Amazon, also has a number of benefits, including antioxidants, fiber, fatty acids, proteins, and more. One of the most amazing discoveries is the amount of antioxidants. The antioxidants from the berry are much higher than those found in red wine (at least 20 times more) or blueberries (at least two times more), which are two of the largest antioxidant carriers. It is rumored to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth, which has earned it the nickname of the “super berry.”

In Brazil, a majority of the population lives on the acai berry. It’s said that they consume more acai than milk. Acai shops, that sell only acai, can be found on almost every street corner is the more populated areas of Brazil. Acai berries are compared to milk because they are usually consumed in juice or frozen (like ice cream) form. In fact, the acai berry, which is 90% nut, cannot be eaten in raw form. Instead, the dark, purple skin, which holds most of the health benefits, is made into a pulp. With this pulp, the natives of Brazil have turned the acai berry into a puree that can be used as a compliment to other foods or by itself.

Researchers have high hopes of finding benefits that include helping prevent cancer, having more energy, helping your heart, and more. Studies are already being conducted with the Brazilians who have been eating the acai berry for centuries. Further lab studies are currently being conducted all over the world. The benefits of acai plus the recognition it has received thus far shows that this is no passing phase. However, because of the acai boom, consumers should be careful about which product they purchase. After all, one would not purchase blueberries or grapes with hidden additives.

Acai Nutritional Components

Essential Fatty Acids, Omegas 3, 6 and 9:

These are the good fats of the human body and are very important to our health. These are considered essential because our body does not manufacture large quantities of them, in spite of being substances involved in the vital functions of a human being, especially in building the structure of cell membranes and in the synthesis of prostaglandin, lecithin and melanin. These essential fatty acids play an important role in maintaining low levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, in the stabilization of the heart rhythm, in cleaning the arteries and to normalize arterial pressure. They regulate the hormone prostaglandin, which helps the body in cleansing the walls of the blood vessels and to diminish the formation of blood clots. Some scientists do not consider Omega 9 as essential, because our body can produce it in small quantities, either way, it is associated in the reduction of the arterioscleroses, reduces resistance to insulin, which balances the glucose. Essential Fatty Acids improve the immune system.

Anthocyanins and Polyphenols (Antioxidants):

These antioxidants are the substances that protect the cells against the damage from oxidation caused by free radical molecules. These chemical products can damage you by splitting important cells, including proteins, damage membranes and to create mutations in the DNA. This cell deterioration, caused by the radicals, is a cause in the development of cancer, in the loss of mental capacity, loss of memory, degenerative illnesses and premature aging.

Studies carried out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, show that a human being should consume at least 3000 units ORAC per day to have sufficient amount of antioxidants in its blood to eliminate the formation of free radicals.

Essential Amino Acid:

Muscle regeneration, giving strength and resistance.

Sterols (beta-sitosterol):

These phytosterols have very special properties. Its formula is very similar to that of cholesterol and due to this it masks cholesterol and it avoids the body’s ability to absorb cholesterol. For many years it has been used for lowering the levels of cholesterol in the blood and for problems of the prostate, balancing the level of sugar and help to control type II diabetes. Also anti-mutagenic effects have been reported, along with the fortification of the immune system.
