Benefits Of Acai Berries
February 11, 2009
Many years ago acai berries were consumed by Brazilians. Acai berries seem like dark purple grapes, but you can’t eat these as you would probably pop grapes. Acai berries have a really delicious taste and offer many health benefits for overall wellness, though there is a certain method to consuming them for the above reasons.
First, thorough processing needs to be conducted for the acai berries; the pulp and seed are separated. Acai puree is used for making tasty acai yogurts, sweet dishes and acai juice. If you eat them just by themselves, then acai berries taste much like regular blue-berries.
Twenty year ago these berries were introduced to the United States as the best of Brazilian exports and even today, they are much in demand.
You may well be wondering why acai berries are healthy for us. Well, we’ve studied all that up for you – so here’s the deal with these super-berries with powerful compounds!
The best part about Acai berries is that they are high in ‘Antioxidants’ like purple and red fruits and veggies. They contain anthocyanins, an antioxidant that gives them their deep purple color. They help stop blood clots and improve circulation so give great cardiovascular benefits as well as help combat aging.
In fact, research reveals that ten times the antioxidants of grapes and two times the amount in blueberries is found in these powerful berries and for those thinking they are getting their daily dose of antioxidants from the glass of red wine taken with red meat, here’s the surprise: acai berries have nearly thirty times more anthocyanins than red wine, besides being rich sources of Vitamin E.
Phytosterols, too are contained in acai berries; these act as the protectors of prostate glands and prevent urinary tract physical condition besides lowering your cholesterol absorption; thus ultimately help you recover good health and keep your maleness intact, too!
These berries also ensure you get ‘Fiber’ available in the skin of many fruits, which helps in digestion as it gathers all the gook in your intestinal area and passes it in filtered form, lowering cholesterol, risk of cardio disease besides helping avoid increase in blood sugar and the afternoon laziness many men experience (i.e. sluggishness).
