Acai Berry
The acai palm which grows in the Brazilian rain forest produces the acai berry. The acai berry looks much like a blueberry only darker and smaller with a seed inside. It even tastes similar to the blueberry and other berries, but with additional chocolaty notes. The acai berry is not only full of powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins but also is packed with essential fatty acids and amino acids. Although the acai berry is available in many forms including a juice and capsules according to Dr. Perricone the best form is the unsweetened pulp. When featured on the Oprah show, Dr. Perricone listed the acai berry as his # 1 pick on his list of the world’s top 10 superfoods. The USDA ARS (Agricultural Research Service) has published information in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry backing up the antioxidant power of the acai berry.
The acai berry is marketed as not only a powerful antioxidant but also as a vision increasing, weight losing, digestion boosting, toxin cleansing, energy raising, and much much more wonder. In order to see the weight loss benefits of this super food one still needs to follow a reduced calorie diet high in fiber and healthy food choices in addition to a sensible exercise program. The benefit of supplementing a healthier lifestyle with acai berry is that one should lose weight faster while feeling better and having more energy.
One thing to be aware of is that the power of the acai berry is directly linked to the quality of the product. There are many low quality products featuring the acai berry available, but the antioxidant power and other benefits gained from this superfood will not be as great from these lesser products. So, do your research and choose the best available acai berry product if you do decide to try out this superfood.
