Super Fruit-Natures Acai Fruit Berry

By Dr. Jerimiah Crossderd

The acai fruit is an amazonian treasure that is known to the locals as the tree of life. It is harvested from a palm tree in the Brazilian rain forest where the magic of the amazon can be seen and experienced in one magical berry.

The acai fruit is able to fight off and prevent the destruction of DNA because the fruit is bursting full of amino acids, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. A Dr. who wrote a best selling New York Times book entitled "the Perricone Way" and in states that the acai fruit is the #1 super food on the planet.

This amazing fruit berry has everything the body needs such as:

A very high concentration of antioxidants that help fight premature aging (10 times more than red grapes and 10-30 times the anthocyanins of red wine)

A nearly perfect vital amino acid complex combined with important trace minerals, both critical to proper muscle contraction and regeneration

A synergistic blend of monounsaturated fats (the healthy kind), dietary fiber, and phytosterols (help lower LDL cholesterol) - all to help promote cardiovascular and digestive health

Antioxidants have long been known to be an essential part of any diet. Antioxidants are substances that protect the cells against the damaging effects of free radicals

These by products are damaging substances that cells produce when breaking down foods. These toxins can also be found in our water, food and the air we breathe. Once entered into the body, they damage cells to the point that they start problems such as cancer, heart disease, and various types of other diseases.

The acai fruit's antioxidants help restore health and fight off future diseases. The vitamins in the acai fruit contain as much protein as an egg.

The fatty acid content in the acai fruit is similar to that of olive oil. It is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid aids omega-3 fish oils in penetrating the cell membrane. The blend helps keep the cell membranes supple. This allows all hormones, neurotransmitters, and insulin receptors to function more efficiently.

In summary, the acai fruit is a powerful source of many essential nutrients the body craves. There are a variety of acai fruit products available online and at some specialty natural foods or nutrition stores.
