Pure Acai Berry Powder Benefits

Before I go into detail about why acai berry powder is the best type of acai supplement, lets discuss some of the benefits you could expect from this newly found super-food. Acai berries have recently been discovered growing on palm trees along the banks of the Amazon River in Brazil. Scientist have proven that many of the native Brazilians who consume these wonderful fruits as a large part of their daily diet are completely free of certain toxins called free radicals. The effects of these toxins on the human body can cause aging and certain types of diseases. The acai berry counteracts these free radicals, helping to keep your body young, healthy and disease free.

Where do free radicals come from? Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to completely avoid these harmful toxins, as your body naturally absorbs them from many different sources. Free radicals are produced from unhealthy, toxic food which we all unknowingly consume every day. When you breathe in air filled with pollutants, you are bringing harmful toxins into your body. Your body can also absorb toxins from radiation that comes from electronics and even the sun. Even if we are careful about what foods we eat and stay away from any and all electronics, we can never avoid polluted air or the sun.

What makes acai berries so helpful in eliminating these cell deteriorating toxins from our bodies? The answer to that question is in the acai berries' molecular make-up. It has been proven that antioxidants are the key to eliminating free radicals. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, helping cleanse our bodies of harmful toxins. There many foods that have large levels of antioxidants that are being revered as extremely healthy. Foods such as pomegranates and red grapes are known to help protect us form many diseases such as cancer and heart disease. The acai fruit has a considerably higher content of antioxidants then any other food. This may very well make acai berries the healthiest food in the world.

Aside form the acai berries' many health benefits is that it has another very popular use. It seems that along with it's extremely high antioxidant content, the acai berry also has a small side effect. I know what you're thinking, but this side effect isn't all that bad. Acai berries are being used as a weight-loss supplement because of its appetite curbing properties. This truly makes acai berries a modern miracle fruit.

Now that you all know the amazing benefits of the acai berries, lets talk about how you can make them part of your daily diet. Acai supplements come in many forms. You can purchase acai berry juice, acai berry caplets and frozen acai berry pulp. In my opinion the most potent and therefore healthiest acai supplement is acai berry powder. Acai berry powder is essentially freeze-dried acai berries. This form of the super-fruit is better than the others because unlike other acai berry supplements, it's powder form will not deteriorate with age or from heat. Acai berry powder also has a higher concentration of the fruit, a little more bang for your buck, so to speak.

Acai powder can be added to any juice or water. Acai berries have a chocolaty, fruity taste and tastes great sprinkled on top of fruits or any other healthy dessert. Mix some acai berry powder into your favorite yogurt for a little extra flavor that will also help you become more healthy and fit. All in all, acai berries are definitely worth trying out. They can get a bit expensive, but can you really put a price on your health?
