From the Amazon Jungle to Your Mouth - Acai Berry Has All the Goodness You Need
A new super food recently hit the media. The name of the food is Acai and it’s a small purple berry from Brazil. This single food has remarkable health benefits for the body. It is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals and scientists link these to cancer, aging and even weight gain.
Free radicals contain an atom with odd number of electrons. Electrons are always paired and seek a partner. They usually steal it from the outer coating of the cell membrane. This results in the hardening of the normally soft outer coating. The hard coating does not allow passage for oxygen and nutrition and eventually the cell dies. Generally the body repairs the damages but if the DNA is hampered then diseases and aging occur. Antioxidants stop this process by supplying the free electron thus acts as a catalyst for the healing process. The more powerful antioxidants the more helpful they are. Acai is undoubtedly the most powerful.
If you do not have an Acai palm in your garden, you are likely to never have tasted the fruit itself. The fruit has a comparatively high fat content which makes it decay and perish very rapidly after the harvest. As a result, most commercial Acai growers process and cure the fruit in order to ensure that it retains its special qualities and nutrients. The method of processing involves freezing the berry and then, freeze-drying or processing the fruit- pulp into a powder. Much of the yield of the Acai is processed and converted into juices also.
Amazon power is a manufacturer that uses this freeze-drying technique. This helps in preserving the nutrition in the powder. This also makes logistics like transportation of Acai berries easier. The consumer can also decide how to use the powder. Lot of people who use Amazon Power Powder likes it to mix it in their shakes, health drinks, and juices or just sprinkle over some fruits or cereal. The versatility of its use allows many ways of absorbing the goodness of Acai berries into the body.
The powder also provides convenience. It is easy to carry a small packet of dried Amazon Power powder with you as you complete the daily tasks you need to do. When lunch arrives, you simply remove the small baggy and add it to your drink at lunch. It couldn’t be simpler.
The powder has a number of benefits. Some of them would be increased energy, improved digestion, shorter recovery period after exercise, improved health and heart maintenance. It contains powerful antioxidants (almost 10 times more powerful than red grapes) which help in preventing premature aging, fight cancer, increases mental clarity and strengthens the immunity system.
Acai berry is also rich in other nutrition apart from antioxidants. It contains essential electrolytes, amino acids, omega fats (which are the good fats), and is a rich source for vitamins A, B1 and E. Having Acai berry is like having a supercharged vitamin pill and much more.
The flavour of the Acai is singular. It tastes much like a berry but with the additional attraction of a chocolaty savour, except of course any of the disadvantages of chocolate. Thus it is a complete super food; not only in its goodness and health effects but also in its taste. If you still haven’t tried it you have been really missing something. It imparts and ensures health and youth, it’s easy to use in the powdered form, and tastes great. What more could you wish for in a food?
