Healthiest Foods: The Acai Berry
The acai berry (Euterpe Oleracea) comes from a tree which grows in the Amazon in Brazil.
Healthiest foods: These berries are small with a black-purple colour and are regarded by many as one of the world’s most nutritious foods. They score particularly high on the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value which shows their super antioxidant capacity. They concentrate numerous properties and are quite miraculous.
- High concentration of beneficial anthocyanins— 30 times more than red wine! Anthocyanins are a group of polyphenols that support healthy aging.
- Rich in dietary fiber, phytosterols and monounsaturated fats that help promote healthy digestive and cardiovascular systems—and contribute to weight loss.
- Essential fatty acids and an almost perfect essential amino acid complex and proteins, essential for skin and proper muscle contraction and regeneration.
These incredible healthiest foods have been shown to support a graceful aging process, regulate normal cholesterol levels in the body, strengthen the immune system, improve circulation and cardiovascular function, reduce soreness, help detoxify the body, support vision and improve sleeping, naturally.
I recommend to purchase a good quality organic acai powder to add to your smoothies and juices (one to two teaspoons a day).
Now as with any very powerful antioxidant foods, it is essential to make sure that your body has the ability to process such healthiest foods rich in many nutritious ingredients. Without the proper capacity to absorb these antioxidants, your body will just flush them out. One of the most efficient way to ensure proper absorption is to “top up” on your REDOX molecules natural reserves. Make sure you do not miss a step when you decide to rejuvenate through nutrition and healthiest foods.
