Anti-Aging and Other Health Benefits of Acai Berry

I have heard of Boosters, energy drinks, Nutrients, supplements and what not. But a super fruit? That was totally new and I had to check it out. So when I heard of Acai Berry, I had to check out what it was all about. What I found out about the Acai fruit, left me wondering,

Why I did not come across this miracle fruit before?

Well for one thing Acai Berry is a precious plant harvested in Amazon rain forests, of Northern Brazil, and as such was unknown to the west, and hence the rest of the planet till a few years back. Native south Americans have been harvesting them for thousands of years, but scientific research and its publications, followed by worldwide advertisement, on TV, radio and internet etc. has given Acai berry its nutritional face lift for only the past few years. Recognizing the nutritional value and the health benefits of Acai berry fruits, companies have over the past few years started marketing Acai health products in the form of juices, extracts and tablets.

Though the fruit is mostly associated with weight loss, the benefits of Acai are more than just a thinning supplement. One of the most important proves uses of Acai, is its ability to act as “housekeeper”, preventing toxic chemicals from harming your body. The Acai fruit has been proven, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Human Nutrition Research Centre on Aging, to recycle this toxic material, related to memory loss due to aging. Basically our brain tissues have cells called ‘microglia’ which help clear out chemical debris, that interfere with our brains functioning. As we age the ability to do the cleaning decreases and hence we become mentally slow.

With the Acai berry extracts the ability for the workload is restored, giving us a renewed vitality even at advanced age.

The contents of the super fruit are not just restricted to geeky functions.
