The acai berry has been called one of the world’s top ten superfoods by Dr Nicholas Perricone, bestselling author of The Perricone Promise – a work which has sold over 450,000 copies world-wide and spent a totally of twenty-five weeks in the New York Times top ten bestsellers list.

What is the Acai berry? Pronounced ‘ah-sigh-ee’, the acai berry is a small purplish fruit that flourishes in swampy regions all over South America from Belize to Southern Brazil and Peru. For thousands of years, the indigenous inhabitants of the area have harvested acai berries as a major food source. Acai berries are a rich source of antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, fibre, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Why are Acai berries good for weight loss?
Because the acai berry is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, nutritionists claim that consuming it can help to speed up the human metabolism. This in turn allows the body to use up the calories in food quicker and more efficiently. Also, because of the large amount of nutrients and fiber found in acai berries, they can act as an appetite suppressor which helps dieters to eat less food without feeling hungry.

Many people have also reported that acai-berry products and extracts such as Acai burn have helped to increase energy and stamina. Because acai berries also contain a large amount of antioxidants, they can not only assist in slowing down people’s natural aging process, but can also aid in removing toxins such as Mucoid plaque from our bodies, giving a general overall feeling of better health and a new-found vitality.

Do acai berries have negative side effects?
With all these recent reports by researchers about what an exceptional fruit the acai berry is, many people have raised concerns about possible negative side effects. But, happily, the acai berry is a natural fruit that has been consumed by millions of people over many years – and in that time, no evidence has come to light that has indicated that acai berries can produce any unwanted side effects more than any other commonly consumed fruit. In fact, eating acai berries is no more of a danger to the human body than eating apples, grapes, bananas, etc.
