History and Uses of Acai Berries
Author: admin
Recently, many people have ask what supplements am I familiar with, that not only promote good health, but also vitality and increase energy throughout the day. As a layman, I am not educated as a medical practitioner but do try to keep current with today’s trends and discoveries.
While managing my home based business, I come across thousands of new opportunities and products every day. Knowing the importance that besides financial security from building a home based business can provide, having the additional time to take care of one’s health is the second best benefit from the financial successes achieved working from home.
While sorting through the many programs, I stumbled across one product that really captured my attention immediately. The Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) berry has been around for hundreds of years, and was not introduced to western civilization until well into the 1990’s. It’s origin is the amazon rain forest and because of its incredible health benefits, has been used by the several of the indigenous tribes of the Amazon, including the Shuar Tribe to name one, for curing various ailments and as a medicine, for centuries.
The Acai berry has natural anti-oxidant properties and is a natural cholesterol controller. When ingested, it promotes good cholesterol in the blood stream and reduce the bad, also aiding the immune system, in fighting infection, protecting the heart, and controls prostate enlargement. It provided a great source as an energy food for the native tribes-people who would traditionally produce it to distill a chocolate tasting type of wine, rich in minerals.
It is harvested from a palm that has a long thin trunk which shoots up to 25 meters high, Acai berries hang from ribbon like branches that spout from the top. The harvesting of the berries is quickly growing to be one of the most sought after cash crop in Brazil.Each Acai tree produces approximately 20 kilograms, of fruit a year, becoming the second most important product in terms of finance after wood forest products.
Once available to the western world, researchers discovered the Acai berry to promote well being. It has a vibrant taste, with a hint of chocolate, rich in proteins, fibre, vitamin E minerals, and essential omega oils to reduce bad cholesterol. Fast becoming known as the miracle fruit, acai berries also helps in preventing cancers due to the antioxidant properties, and are five times more potent, than the commonly used herbal therapy product, Gingko biloba. Acai Berry is known to harness the following properties: Antioxidant, Antibacterial, Anti-Inflammatory, Antimutagenic, cardiovascular system.
Acai berries contain plant sterols including beta-sitosterol. Today, sterols are being used to treat associated benign prostate dyperplasmia. These plant sterols have also been shown to help control cholesterol as well as act as precursors to many important substances produced by the body. Acai Berries are also a remarkable concentration of Antioxidants to help combat premature aging. Acai Berry is a dense source of a particular class of flavonoids called anthocyanins. THE ORAC VALUE of Acai Berry is higher than any other known edible berry on the planet!
Acai also contains an amazingly high concentration level of Antioxidants which contribute to combat premature aging. The proanthocyanidin contents in Acai Berries are 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine per volume. Although the French have a high fat diet, they have a low incidence of cardio vascular disease compared to the western countries. They contribute this factor to their consumption of red wine. Acai Berries can help promote a healthier cardio vascular system and digestive tract, because it’s synergy of onounsaturated (these are the healthy fats), dietary fiber and phytosterols.
Dr. Nicholas Perricone, M.D., a recognized authority on anti-aging, in his book “The Perricone Promise” named the Acai berry as being the World’s #1 Superfood. He also called the Acai berry one of the most nutritious and powerful anti-aging foods in the world today.
In more recent history, this product has been endorsed by the world famous talk show host, Oprah Winfrey and has been featured on her show for its incredible properties and potential benefit to our society.

Extreme Acai Berry News

Acai berry exposed is hard hitting and worth every second you read this. When there is good money to be made on a product several snake-y scam artists, companies and distributors will by waiting for your money. Acai berry like all nutritional supplements is a whole food product which should be taken in raw form. Any time you heat, dry, freeze any product you are going to lose some of its effectiveness. Basically if it looks like watery Cool-aid or in some sort of pill/capsule form the integrity of the product could be compromised. Let me save you some time and energy when doing your research for acai berry supplements and all the related acai products. Everybody is going to tell you that their product is the best on the market. It doesn’t matter if you stumble upon a company site, distributor site, nutritional sales sites, all of them do the same thing. Red FLAG: “we are the best”. Be careful when you see this. Acai berry exposed is going to teach you one important lesson you should have already learned in your life. Whole Food Supplements like acai will work great for some people, work alright for others and then you also have the crowd that calls it a scam or ripoff. Who do you believe? All of them, because they are all correct. That’s the hard fact of nutritional supplements like acai berry. What out when someone says “We’ve Got the Greatest…….” Like I said before, you’ll never know how good a product is for your body type until you try it. Recommendations from people you know and trust is good, but sometimes you need to simply give it a try on your own to find out if it indeed works. Make sense? What honestly scares me about some of the acai berry products on the market is the fact that: # some products are extremely diluted, raw acai berry is thicker than water # some products do not contain enough acai berry to make any type of nutritional difference at all # some products have so much stuff added it makes you wonder why, until you see what’s added I love to read testimonials on the product and try to find someone who might fit my body profile. If they do fit my body profile I will give that more weight than others who do not fit my body type. If a product has independent written reviews I love to read all of them to make sure people are not giving you some hype job. If they don’t have any negative comments, I give that a lower weight, because you should have already learned that some products work better for different body types. Right? Here is what I found out about acai berry: # some say the taste is awful(something was added) # some say it taste’s like cool-aid (red flag, it’s been watered down) # others say they can tolerate it # some love the taste of acai berry juice Once upon a time I was concerned with people telling me a certain nutritional supplement tasted awful. Then I learned something from a good friend of mine. If they don’t like the taste they will not continue to purchase that particular product. So, you can either mix it with something or you simply look for the next product. The flip side to an awful tasting product is other people will say it is tolerable, especially since it works so well for them. I can tell you this: I have a lot of friends who are drinking acai berry supplements and it shows. The nutritional benefits of acai are remarkable especially when friends start noticing. The acai drinks these folks are consuming sold me. But I did do my research first and ran across a lot of junk before I found the product that I believed would work best for me. You should be doing the same thing. Acai berry is all over the internet and you have your pick of over 100 different named products. The main competition for acai berry is probably mangosteen and goji fruit. All three are the best on the market if you believe those distributors selling their unique brand. What would be really cool is if you could find one specific product that contained all three ingredients (goji, mangosteen and acai berry) in it. Acai berry exposed has shared with you several facts that you should remember when looking for a good acai berry product. Watch out for the scam artists and ask a ton of questions. Remember the one important factor is the percentage of acai berry extract you will receive. If it is not 100% then run the other way. Bottom Line: You will never know which product is the best without giving it a try. Anything in it’s pure form is the best, but if you can add other ingredients in their pure form, you might have yourself a physical and financial winner.
