How to Keep the Goodness in the Acai Berry from the Jungle to your Plate
A new super food recently hit the media. The name of the food is Acai and it’s a small purple berry from Brazil. This single food has remarkable health benefits for the body. It is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals and scientists link these to cancer, aging and even weight gain.
Free radicals contain an atom with odd number of electrons. Electrons are always paired and seek a partner. They usually steal it from the outer coating of the cell membrane. This results in the hardening of the normally soft outer coating. The hard coating does not allow passage for oxygen and nutrition and eventually the cell dies. Generally the body repairs the damages but if the DNA is hampered then diseases and aging occur. Antioxidants stop this process by supplying the free electron thus acts as a catalyst for the healing process. The more powerful antioxidants the more helpful they are. Acai is undoubtedly the most powerful.
Unless you have an Acai palm in your backyard, you probably will never taste the fruit itself. It has a relatively high fat content and that makes it deteriorate very rapidly after harvest. Most commercial growers process the fruit so it maintains its superior qualities. The processing entails freezing it, freeze-drying or processing the pulp into a powder. Freeze drying is one of the most effective to protect the nutrients. You can find the Acai processed to juices also.
Among the companies that use the freeze drying method, Amazon Power is one of the foremost. The process they adopt ensures that the powder retains all the nutrition from the fruit. This not only simplifies the work of transporting and using the Acai berry, but further enables the customer to choose exactly in what manner they wish to consume the powder. Many consumers of the Amazon Power powder prefer to make shakes or health drinks from it, or they like to add the powder to their fruit juice and even add it to their fruit or cereal helpings. This flexibility allows for a lot of options as to how to administer the benefits of the Acai berry into the body.
The powder also provides convenience. It is easy to carry a small packet of dried Amazon Power powder with you as you complete the daily tasks you need to do. When lunch arrives, you simply remove the small baggy and add it to your drink at lunch. It couldn’t be simpler.
Among the uses of the powder are enhanced energy, improved stamina and resilience during exercise, better digestion, improved sleep, and better overall heart condition. Due to its potent antioxidants which are 10 fold stronger than those in red grapes, Acai berry effectively fights premature aging and cancer, increases intellectual capacity and boosts the immune system.
Though the antioxidants are enough for making it a regular habit in your life it does contain other nutrients. It contains Omega fat (or the good fat), electrolytes, amino acid and vitamins A, B and E. it is almost a super charged yummy vitamin.
