How Can Cancer and Heart Disease be Prevented Using a Small Amazon Berry?

By Americo Tognetti

If you have been living on this planet for any length of time, chances are you have heard of the latest super food, the acai berry. The acai berry has several health benefits and is found high up on top of the palm trees located in the Amazon rain forest in South America.

What makes this particular berry so special is that it has been thought to help prevent cancer and heart disease due to its very special and powerful ingredients. You are not going to find the same exact amount of ingredient combination in any other type of food on this planet. The acai berry contains a ridiculous amount of fiber. According to the Western diet, a diet that is lacking in fiber is a major reason why most people end up getting cancer and heart disease. Not to mention, fiber helps to keep you full so you do not overeat. Diabetes and high blood pressure can also be avoided, as well as obesity.

Impressed with the benefits thus far? The acai berry also contains omega 6 and omega 9. Omega 6 is an essential fatty acid that helps to lower your LDL while keeping HDL cholesterol levels at bay. Omega 9 is also an essential fatty acid that helps to do the exact same thing, but also assists in the absorption of some very important vitamins. When taking acai berry, there will be no more worries about cholesterol levels. Most people are even able to do away with their prescription medications. If one has issues with high cholesterol and/or atherosclerosis, there should be no worries when taking the acai berry because it also contains a very special protein called anthocyanin. Anthocyanin helps to dissolve saturated and solid fats, which cause high cholesterol and atherosclerosis.

It's no big secret that most of the harmful toxins inside hour body originally come from the foods we eat. Of course in today's world, it's becoming extremely difficult trying to avoid foods which have been processed unless of course you consume a diet which is hundred percent clean. In fact, it is nowadays virtually impossible to avoid digesting certain toxins and pollutants via our diet. As a result, it has become increasingly important that we start taking care of ourselves if we wish to live a long life. Fortunately, these little wonder berries have numerous antioxidants which can help to purify us on the inside while at the same time, clear away those pollutants, chemicals, and toxins which have built up over the years.

It is a known fact that disease happens over the course of time. Heart disease doesn't happen overnight, and neither does cancer. There is always an outside source that has a hand in it. But one thing is for sure, and it is that the diet is a very important aspect of our overall health. The acai berry can help to change your life and make you feel more alive and well than you have felt in a long time. But most of all, it can help to save your life. - 14130
