Antioxidants

One of the world’s richest countries is Brazil. However, there’s one other tiny thing that helps fuel its economy. Unknown to many, Brazilians have kept it as their best secret that they have been using Açaí (pronounced ah-sigh-ee), a small berry fruit that’s mightier than blueberries, grapes, and apples. This super anti-oxidant fruit has been growing for centuries now in the wild river banks of the Great Amazon’s northern part. These native tribes survived all the ills brought about by civilization while all the rest of the indigenous tribes had vanished to eternity. That they use acai in their traditional meals and mix it up with some organic seeds is important knowledge. They said that it has a caffeine-like effect. It perks them up and gives them a sharp mind. In the same way, acai was found out by the world’s famous food experts and scientists to boost the system’s energy levels. Acai health supplements and health drinks are now hot items among professional athletes and even body building enthusiasts for that reason.

Açaí, besides being a good source of carbohydrates and amino acids that help to shape up muscles and increase physical strength and endurance, is deemed the world’s super food for its unsurpassed high content of anti-oxidants. These bodies’ heroes that flush down harmful toxins and control radical cells from regenerating are called anti-oxidants. Premature aging and cancers of any kind are caused by radical cells. Its regular users get an over-all effect from the tiny acai. Taking acai will make your skin supple and clean, as an after-effect of having a toxin-free system. Even your sexual health is part of the deal. Acai has all the essential vitamins K, E, D and A that taking it will increase libido and allows you a powerful performance. A heightened sense of being is also something acai can give. Acai even prevents eye diseases as glaucoma and helps maintain vision acuity.

Açaí benefits are many to tell. First off, if the French prided themselves of having red wine as a good heart ailment buster, wait till they use acai. It’s known to have between 10 to 30 more anti-oxidant anthocyanin counts than red wine. Its protein content is known to be rich. Vegetable protein, which only nurtures good cholesterol and blocks off bad cholesterol from building up, is found in it.

Having all these qualities might keep you asking what this native berry tastes like as health drink. A chocolate-and-berry concoction that’s what it is like. You might just drink it with a lick.
