Superfood No. 1: AçaíNature's Energy FruitVery few people have ever heard of the acai berry, but many will very soon. It is hard to believe but this little berry from the amazon is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Açaí (ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, açaí tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Tart and tasty, royal purple pigment, deep chocolate like color has a wonderful and unique flavor. Acai is nature's perfect energy fruit. Açaí is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Açaí may not be available in your local supermarket, you can find it in some health food and gourmet stores (often in juice form). A new product featuring the unsweetened pulp is now also available called MonaVie, which you can order online, which contains bothe Acai pulp as well as freeze dried pulp.Açaí pulp contains:A remarkable concentration of antioxidants that help combat premature aging, with 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine.A synergy of monounsaturated (healthy) fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols to help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.An almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration.The fatty acid content in açaí resembles that of olive oil, and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid is important for a number of reasons. It helps omega-3 fish oils penetrate the cell membrane; together they help make cell membranes more supple. By keeping the cell membrane supple, all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors function more efficiently. This is particularly important because high insulin levels create an inflammatory state, and we know, inflammation causes aging.
