Acai Berry Diet Tablets - What You Must Know About Acai Berries Prior to Purchasing

By Xylene Belita

Acai Berries seem similar to purple grapes. And like grapes they have clear nutritional qualities and health benefits, but at incredibly higher levels than most fruits.

Acai Berries are actually from Acai Berry Palms (Euterpe oleracea) which are endemic to the Amazon Rainforests of Brazil. They have long been staple to the natives of the region. The Acai Berry itself is what is called among botanists as a drupe. The seed makes up 80-90% of the fruit. The juice and pulp of the Acai Berry resulting from separating the pulp from the seed is popular in Brazil for use in juice blends, smoothies, and even ice cream and liqueur.

Lately, Acai Berries are quickly becoming popular internationally. Understandably. Acai Berries are filled with an awesome amount of antioxidants - ten times that of grapes and about two to four times that of blueberries. Also, they are considered to have the best overall nutritional worth of any fruit on Earth.

Acai Berries are found to be very plentiful in vegetable protein, which unlike animal protein, do not result in cholesterol and are easier to absorb by the body. They are also full in carbohydrates which feed your body during activities like working out. They also have very high amounts of essential fatty acids and omegas that reduce harmful cholesterol levels. The lavender color is from anthocyanins, a kind of antioxidant that lends it its lavender hue. Acai Berries actually have 10 to 30 times more anthocyanins than Red Wine in terms of volume! The remarkably high levels of antioxidants help fight free radicals and prevent premature aging.

So what exactly does its antioxidants and nutritional value help with anyway? Why is it becoming so popular? To put it simply, Acai Berries can improve digestion; help in losing weight; promote better sleep; reduce muscle fatigue and pain, increase energy and libido, fight cancer and illnesses, lower blood pressure, strengthen the immune and cardiovascular system, and fight aging and inflammation.

You might have expected Acai Berries to taste like drug, but no, Acai Berries have a particularly tropical taste that has been described as something between a blend of berries and chocolate. It truly is the number one super food of the world. - 14130
