Benefits from Acai Berry
Recently, media coverage has marketed benefits from the acai berry as a dietary supplement. Products can be found in the form of tablets, juice, smoothies, yogurt, instant drink powder and the whole fruit itself. The açaí berry has been promoted on the Oprah Winfrey Show, ABC, NBC, CBS and other news shows. It has also been featured in many books, such as “The Perricone Promise” by Dr. Perricone. He claims this berry is the number one super food in his book. It is rich in antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. It has 15 – 20 times the antioxidants as grapes. Açaí berries help to promote weight loss, boost energy and stamina, support the immune system, promote more restful sleep, fight aging and inflammation, protect against heart disease and increases libido. With all these benefits, no wonder many news shows have been promoting it.
