Growing blueberries and acai berries
Author: admin
Q: Where can i get seeds to grow blueberries and acai berries?
A: I would not grow blueberries from seeds. Go to a garden center and buy the shrubs. Seeds will take years to bear fuit, if they survive. You can also order from a garden catalog-Burpee, Stokes Bros., Beaver Creek, White Flower Farms, and Seeds of Change are U.S. companies I have bought from. For the acai berries, look online for a rare/exotic plant dealer, and again, try to buy the plants. Before you plant ANYTHING make sue you know your USDA growing zone. Pick varieties that will survive the weather in your area. Also, it’s worth buying a soil testing kit to make sure you have the right acid level, drainage, etc. for the plants you want to grow. If you don’t you’ll have to amend the soil. (It’s a lot of work to do, but it will make youe plants more successful.) Good luck!

It’s hard to not keep hearing about acai berry benefits whether from Oprah , Dr. Perricone, Sports Illustrated Women or other media. The only side effects I found seemed isolated.

I keep hearing about all the nutritional benefits of this berry, but know that they are harvested from a certain tree in the Amazonian rainforest. If I purchase products that contain these berries or their extracts, am I harming the environment or do they grow these trees on farms to harvest the berries?
The Açaí berry is native from amazon, as the Rubber' seringueira (latex).
There are organized groups and companys that collect the Açaí in the forest, preserving the nature. The same to collect nuts (castanha do Pará) and latex.
If you became a regular consumer of the berry, your health will improve and you will help the people of Amazonas state (and others) to live better and to get money, in peace with the nature and the forest.
3 Monster Benefits of Acai Berry

If you have been watching the news at all lately, you have
probably seen something about the new acai berry diet. It has
been promoted on Oprah, Rachael Ray, and all over local news
stations. Here are 3 of the biggest benefits of acai berry.
It is a calorie burner. Just like diet pills or other weight
loss supplements, acai berry can help you burn off extra
calories without any work from you. Obviously, mixing acai berry
with a good workout plan will only boost the effects, but it is
not necessary. The small particles contained in the seeds of the
acai berry throw your body into a thermal state. This is the
same state you go into when you run or workout.
It can improve mental clarity. Acai berry does not contain any
caffeine like most pills people take for concentration, so their
is no crash after it wears off. The ginseng and guarana it
contains are much higher then most energy drinks. Studies have
shown it can improve clarity for hours at a time. For this
reason, it has become big among college students, which is a
much safer alternative then dangerous pills.
The final reason is that it boosts the ability to fight cancer.
This is more of a recent discovery by scientists, but quite
possibly one of the most important discoveries in recent years.
Certain gene receptors in the body are actually ceased by the
berry. Cancer is still a very advanced disease and can morph and
still form, but this is the most progress on an all-natural
supplement in years!
As you can see, their are many benefits of acai berry, but these
are three extremely important ones!

I have read a few different things about this and everyone is saying how great it is for just about everything. However, I know how “great” things can sound when they are trying to be sold, so I was just wondering if anyone (not interested in making a sale) has tried this. If so what were the results? Honestly, is it worth the money?
Does Acai REALLY work for weight loss? The simple answer is yes. The complex answer is that acai will help you lose weight faster as long as you are eating right and exercising a bit. Let me explain…
First let me say that acai berries have far more antioxidants than any other fruit. Even more than blueberries! Besides that, the nutrients in acai berry supplements help many other diseases and maladies, from diabetes to arthritis to blood clotting. It really is a worthwhile supplement to add to your daily nutrition.
As far as the acai berry assisting with fat loss, acai can be a great weight loss aid. The berry’s natural concoction of essential fatty acids, fiber, phytosterols and amino acids work together to help your body burn fat more efficiently, process food more quickly and shed the unwanted pounds that you’d like to lose.
The fatty acids and amino acids aid in both muscle development and proper digestion, both of which are essential to fat loss. The fiber helps your body to move food out of your system quicker and also to help you feel full, as do fatty acids. Phytosterols help fortify your digestive tract, moving waste materials out and absorbing nutrients more efficiently.
I wouldn't say that acai berries are the magic weight loss pill, but I would say that acai could be an important ingredient in your vitamin / supplement / weight loss arsenal. You should also exercise at least 3 times a week and stay away from junk food. Good luck!
What I recommend is to get a free trial of Extreme Acai, which you can get at the source link below. Then you should follow some of the other links on that site to find a sensible diet and a moderate exercise plan. Try to eat fewer carbs at night, and fewer calories over all if you think you can't lose weight. Exercise at least 3 days a week. Give it 1 month and you should be able to lose 5-10 lbs easy.
So far using acai is working for me by helping my digestion, curbing my appetite, and by giving me more energy each day… I don't even get sleepy around 3pm anymore. I'm going to keep using acai until a better antioxidant / weight loss supplement hits the market, if ever.

you have to keep in mind that not all Acai is created equal. It
is best to find this supplement in a powder or capsule form. The
