Acai Power
What is Açai? (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) Açai is a berry that comes from the Açai Palm. The Açai Palm originates in South America. It has been a traditional food for centuries among the Brazillian people. Why is Açai good for you?
Açai the Amazon’s youthful berry 4
Açai contains several substances called anthocyanins and flavonoids. Foods that are richest in anthocyanins - such as blueberries, red grapes, red wine, and açai are very strongly colored, ranging from deep purple to black. Açai has over 6 times the antioxidant capacity of blueberries and contains Omega 3,6 and 9 essential fatty acids in quantities similiar to olive oil. It’s these fatty acids that are thought to support cardiovascular wellness. Anthocyanins and flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that help defend the body against life’s stressors. They also play a role in the body’s cell protection system. Free radicals are harmful byproducts generated by the body. Eating a diet rich in antioxidants may interfere with aging and the disease process by neutralizing free radicals.
