Acai health benefits have been well publicized in the media recently. Acai berry was discovered thousands of years ago and has always been a part of the staple diet of Brazilian. Normally, Acai berry is taken in the form of fruit, juice or pulp used for toppings on a lot of sweet dishes. Although it has existed for so many centuries, it has recently come to the developed world and has been discovered to have a lot of excellent nutritional properties so much so that a host of doctors have been promoting it in addition to it being highly recommended on Oprah Winfrey show.
Two Key Health Benefits Of Acai
People who have been involved in research of the Acai fruit have been highly convinced of its nutritional qualities and have proclaimed it as one of the super-foods for its health benefits. Some of them are discussed below:
Joint Pain: Regular intake of Acai berry in the form of fruit, pulp or juice gives permanent relief form joint pain. Since the berry is rich in anti-oxidants, it purifies the blood and reinforces the human body’s inherent strength to fight free radicals. The anti-oxidant content in Acai berries is much higher than pomegranates, blueberries or grapes which until now are know to be the best singular sources of anti-oxidants. Acai berry also has a high ORAC. ORAC or Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity value is a measurement of anti-oxidants in food and is very effective in relieving joint pains. In addition to this, the Acai berry is also highly rich in Vitamins A, C and E. Joint mobility is impaired by super-oxide free radicals and they are negated by the anti-oxidants contained in Acai berries. Regular intake of Acai juice aids healing and thus reduces joint pain.
Other Health benefits: Acai juice and its integrated anti-oxidants also combat cardio-vascular ailments as research shows. Sine the Acai berry contains a high level of phytosterols, it helps reduce heart diseases. It also contains highly essential Omega acids – 6 and 9 that help reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. Being rich in anthocyanins, Acai berry intake also reduce the risk of degenerative diseases like cancer and also attribute anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging qualities to the human body.
 As evident, apart form these benefits, the Acai berry is also a very nutritious and tasty fruit and is being marketed in the USA as a health food product. There is no denying the fact tat this wonderful fruit can give relief to a lot of health problems related to professional life in developed countries. For example, having Acai berry juice also reduces stress and helps sleep. This in itself is a quality that can offset a host of health problems.
The only downside is that having fresh Acai berry is not possible in developed countries and the efforts towards cultivating it have failed. It grows only in deep rainforests of Brazil in the Amazon basin and is exported in frozen pulp or juice form. Although the freezing and time lag reduces the benefits of the Acai berry, it still is unbeatable as a singular source of energy and the rest of the qualities discussed above.
