There is an indicator of the activity of antioxidants ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), developed by the National Institute of Aging, USA in 1992 and used as a tool for measurement of activity in absorbing free radicals for fruits, vegetables and other antioxidant foods and supplements. Such recognized favorites like blueberries, pomegranate, cranberries, blueberries, garlic and some other highly valued on the ORAC scale. However, the champion on this indicator was the fruit acai berry.

It is especially necessary to mention the contents in the berries zinc to support hormonal balance in the body. As you know, it is especially necessary for men to testosterone synthesis, and more recently, scientists associated with zinc deficiency the occurrence of such deviations in the development of children as autism.

Let us consider briefly the effect of the use of acai berries to some of the organs and systems of the body:

Cardio-vascular system.

Due to the fact that the berries contain large amounts of plant steroids and acids omega-3 and omega-6 (almost half of total fruit) consumption of acai berry helps the blood vessels stay healthy and elastic, reduces cholesterol, and effectively protect people from hypertension, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

The immune system.

The beneficial effects of acai berries on immunity is explained largely by the presence of a large number of antioxidants that help destroy free radicals that helps the body cells to stay healthy, and help our immune system to cope with the disease and to work with maximum efficiency.

Keeping the tone and intellectual activities.

The acai palm berries are a source of additional energy for the body, due to their content of Niacin, sometimes called the fuel of our body. Getting nicotine acid from the berries, the body does not need to expend energy on its production, which as a result is released.

In addition, the fibrous structure of the berries helps digest food in the stomach, eliminates constipation absorbs and helps eliminate toxins and poisons through the gastrointestinal tract.

Another aspect that is very important – acai berry is often called the Viagra of the Amazon. Improving metabolism, while detoxify the body, they increase the libido of both men and women. And as you know, the sexual life itself is postpone aging.

And of course, about losing weight...

And finally, about the eternal female desire to lose weight. Yes, with such a strong nutritional potential of acai will help in this. However, the indigenous inhabitants of Brazil were hardly concerned with these questions, but the logic is simple. The berries are so nutritious that a little bit of any product from the berries in the morning can provide energy if not for the whole day, then before lunch — that's for sure.

You are provided with the necessary supply of nutrients, vigorous and energetic, the brain is functioning normally, the stomach does not suffer from excess of food, and you don't want to eat. Gradually improves digestion, removes harmful toxins, there is a noticeable weight reduction.

Regular intake of acai fruit or its products food digests better, and the acceleration of metabolism make you forget the concept of "overweight". At the same time, unlike sitting on a diet due to high intake of vitamins and minerals improve the hair, nails and skin.

Thus, we see that acai berry health effect, leave far behind all the known fruits. They strengthen the immune system, increase vitality, reduce LDL "bad" cholesterol levels; normalize blood pressure, normalize weight, improve cardiovascular and nervous system, support normal digestion, rejuvenates the body, increase libido and treat sexual disorders.

Last year at the University of Pittsburgh on the basis of the conducted researches have revealed that this berry kills cancer cells".

And finally...

Sorry, just to add to your diet acai will not succeed, for it will have to visit Brazil. The berries are very delicate and lose nearly all their properties a few hours after collection. Yes, and the gathering of berries is carried out very carefully: each collector of berries is using both insurance of special loops, climbs the tree trunk, cut down a branch with fruit, and with her hands down on the ground. Bunch can't even leave the fruit can be damaged. Immediately the berries are sent for processing, the purpose of which is to preserve everything useful that is in the living berry.

But about inaccessibility for us of fresh berries do not worth it. How would not actively advertised the acai palm berries, all who are interested in healthy eating, know that panacea on all occasions does not happen. No matter how many antioxidants we didn't eat, no fresh air, reasonable traffic, and, finally, a healthy diet, they will not help us. Let us remember that all the most useful products are indeed "Superfoods" only in combination with a healthy lifestyle and good mood.

Be healthy and prosperous!
