Acai Berry – A Superfood from the Heart of the Jungle
The latest super food has arrived. It’s a small purple berry called Acai from Brazil. This small fruit has tremendous health benefits. It contains powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants work as a protection for the body from free radicals and are even linked with cancer, aging and weight loss.
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.
If you do not have an Acai palm in your garden, you are likely to never have tasted the fruit itself. The fruit has a comparatively high fat content which makes it decay and perish very rapidly after the harvest. As a result, most commercial Acai growers process and cure the fruit in order to ensure that it retains its special qualities and nutrients. The method of processing involves freezing the berry and then, freeze-drying or processing the fruit- pulp into a powder. Much of the yield of the Acai is processed and converted into 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.
Though the antioxidants are enough for making it a regular habit in your life it does contain other nutrients. It contains Omega fat (or the good fat), electrolytes, amino acid and vitamins A, B and E. it is almost a super charged yummy vitamin.
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?
