   Posted by: Lita    in Nutrition

Since our original article written about the acai berry (pronounced ah-sah-ee), that we at healthtopics categorized as a super food, there has been much publicity on the weight loss benefits of Acai. 

Many well known news agencies have also been commenting on the acai berry now gaining in popularity.

ABC reports:

You’ll be hearing a lot more about this rain forest fruit going forward.  Acai is off the chart for almost everything that kale is, in addition to naturally occuring Omega-3, 6 and 9 oils. It´s not only good for you, but many world class athletes drink it while training because it’s so loaded with nutrition and protein it can be a complete meal.”

TODAY reports:

Stars make a livelihood from being fit… that’s why they’re taking to daily cleanses. Our diets are full of processed, refined foods, tainted with pesticides, hormones and antibiotics, which can collect in the bloodstream, causing us to feel tired, or become overweight. Acai is designed to cleanse the body while easily integrating with your daily routine.”

Unlike fad diets, the Acai easily fits into your lifestyle.  The Acai can be beneficial to you in more ways than weight loss.  Acai provides essential fibers and antioxidants that will give your digestion system some fighting power against the buildup of toxins.  Anyone who combats toxins has a better chance at good health while also reducing bloating and headaches.  You may also be pleasantly surprised to be rid of that lethargic feeling that shows up uninvited every day.  

According to the method called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbence Capacity) which is used by the USDA to measure antioxidant capacities of different foods, the acai berry far surpasses the antioxidant power of other popular fruits.

Not only do you get the healthy benefits of antioxidants from Acai but you will also benefit from a proprietary blend of 8 powerful herbs that work to help rid your body of all the unwanted buildup and pounds in your digestive tract which may be weighing you down.
