From the Amazon Jungle to your mouth - Acai Berry has all the goodness you need

By: Marcus C. Evans
 

A new super food recently hit the media. The name of the food is Acai and it's a small purple berry from Brazil. This single food has remarkable health benefits for the body. It is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals and scientists link these to cancer, aging and even weight gain.

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 make up 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.

You can probably taste the real food only if you own an Acai palm planted in your backyard. The fruit has quite a high amount of fat contents which leads to a rapid deterioration once harvested. Most of the commercial producers process the fruit and thus maintains the superior quality. The processing involves freezing. It is freeze-dried which is basically processing the pulp to form powder. Freeze-drying is most effective for retaining the nutrients. Acai processed juices are also available in the market.

Among the companies that use the freeze drying method, Amazon Power is one of the foremost. The process they adopt ensures that the powder retains all the nutrition from the fruit. This not only simplifies the work of transporting and using the Acai berry, but further enables the customer to choose exactly in what manner they wish to consume the powder. Many consumers of the Amazon Power powder prefer to make shakes or health drinks from it, or they like to add the powder to their fruit juice and even add it to their fruit or cereal helpings. This flexibility allows for a lot of options as to how to administer the benefits of the Acai berry into the body.

The powder is most convenient to use. You can carry a small pouch of it in your bag and carry on your daily jobs. During lunch time just pour it into your drink and consume it. It is as simple as that.

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.

The flavor of the Acai is singular. It tastes much like a berry but with the additional attraction of a chocolaty savor, except of course any of the disadvantages of chocolate. Thus it is a complete super food; not only in its goodness and health effects but also in its taste. If you still haven't tried it you have been really missing something. It imparts and ensures health and youth, it's easy to use in the powdered form, and tastes great. What more could you wish for in a food?
