Benefits of Acai berry are obvious

Written by admin on Nov 15th, 2008 | Filed under: General

We hear a lot of rhetoric about how super foods are really very good for us, that we should be eating as much of these foods as possible, and that super foods can help us combat disease and illness, as well as simply making us healthier. These are strong assertions, and ones that we would do well to heed. But what is so good about a super food? And what makes it so ’super’?

Well, put simply, a super food is one that contains more nutrients, minerals and ‘goodness’ than ‘normal’ foods per unit weight. Taking the acai berry as an example – and it is a good example, as we will see later — it has more amino acids, antioxidants and essential omega fatty acids per unit weight than most — if not all — comparable foods. This means that you can eat 10g of acai berry and it will do you as much good in these essential areas as would 500g or more as some other foods. The benefits of an acai diet are soon obvious.

An acai berry isn’t the be all and end all of health and fitness, but it can certainly help make you fitter, stronger and happier in yourself. Not bad for a little acai berry!
