From the Amazon Jungle to Your Mouth - Acai Berry Has All the Goodness You Need

By Americo Tognetti

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 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.

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 also provides convenience. It is easy to carry a small packet of dried Amazon Power powder with you as you complete the daily tasks you need to do. When lunch arrives, you simply remove the small baggy and add it to your drink at lunch. It couldn't be simpler.

Some of the benefits of the powder are increased energy, shorter recovery period after exercise, improved digestion, better sleep, and heart maintenance. Because of its powerful antioxidants, 10 times more powerful than red grapes, it also may combat premature aging, help fight cancer, increase mental clarity and strengthen 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? - 32378
