Why Is Brazilian Acai Berry Considered A Super Fruit?
This post is courtesy of our Guest Blogger program!
Brazilian Acai Berry is considered the greatest among the super fruits. A super fruit is a fruit or berry which has high nutritional properties. Eating a super fruit will give the body optimal nutrition which produces superb physical results. Acai continues to gain notoriety for having the greatest amount of antioxidants of any food in the world. This little purple berry grows on 25 feet palm trees in the heart of the Amazon rain forest. The indigenous people of that region have embraced its nutritional qualities and benefited from this berry for centuries. During times of famine, they have sustained incredibly well on a diet of brazilian acai berry.
Acai has a tremendous amount of super antioxidants. Its ORAC score, which is measured on a gram basis, is 1026 TE/g. That’s three times more than the next highest ORAC score of 340 in the wild black raspberry. Acai is also known for having protein similar to that of an egg and a fatty acid profile similar to olive oil with omega 3, 6 & 9 oils. If this isn’t enough, it also has high fiber with low glycemic index, more than 16 phytonutrients, trace minerals and macrominerals and plant sterols that is known to help lower cholesterol.
The most common testimony is the feeling of more energy, vitality and wellbeing without the effects that caffeine induces. This is good news for those who cannot tolerate caffeine and for those who suffer from fatigue. The other common claim is weight loss. Perhaps it is the combination of good nutrition and more physical activity that enhances ones metabolism. Another amazing result commonly heard is from people who suffer from depression. Over a short amount of time, they find themselves no longer battling that condition. Simply put, when your body starts receiving the proper nourishment it needs, everything else receives holistic results. Heaps of money is spent on junk food, pills and medical treatments. What a shame that our society is quick to medicate physical problems instead of providing the nutritional diet our bodies were designed to thrive on in the first place.
