All the hype about the acai berry

By Jill Whittaker

With each passing day there appears to be more and more discussion of the benefits inherent within the acai berry. Yet, many people still do not know what the berry actually is or the exact benefits that it can offer. The acai berry is a part of the acai palm tree which can be found throughout Central and South America. Its closest relative is the blueberry but it comes with far greater benefits to the human body.

While there are a number of substances within the acai berry that offer benefits, the antioxidants, flavonoid and anthocyanin are the most prominent and beneficial. These antioxidants are responsible for a number of health benefits that can lead to improved overall health and the prevention of disease.

The benefits that can be applied through the use of antioxidants are plentiful and the acai berry is one of the best ways to ingest these antioxidants on a regular basis. The acai berry will help you feel stress relief, more energized and give your immune system a complete boost.

Aside from the internal health benefits of the acai berry, it is being proven that it can also help stimulate weight loss. The substances found within the berry can speed up a person's metabolism and improve digestion. Many new weight loss products are starting to take advantage of the power evident within the acai berry.

With cosmetic companies continuously looking for ways to improve or create new products, the acai berry has quickly come to the forefront. Many companies are replacing outdated ingredients with the acai berry to provide a healthier, more natural alternative to previously used tropical oils.

Inside the acai berry there is a very potent oil that absorbs a large number of the antioxidants within the berry. This oil can be used in a widespread list of products, from food, to cosmetics to just about anything you can imagine. This oil is an organic alternative to some of the chemicals found within many of these products today.

Another important benefit and reason to introduce the acai berry to one's life is its complete lack of side effects. Unlike many other products and fruits that can cause side effects due to an abundance of use, there are no evident side effects linked with acai berry. The berry can be used in a number of ways as much as one feels necessary. - 14130
