The New #1 Superfood: The Most Powerful Antioxidant Known In The
World
There has been a groundbreaking discovery in the field of
health and nutrition. Though it has been featured in the media
and become an underground buzz, it is still generally unknown.
It is the anti-aging and health re-vitalizing power of a little
Brazilian fruit, now declared the new #1 superfood: the acai
berry.
Before this recent finding the blueberry was acclaimed as the
most nutrient rich food. It had been recognized for its
extremely powerful antioxidant properties.
Antioxidants are essential for full body health. In the natural
process of the body's workings, cells are constantly
metabolizing. This creates byproducts called free radicals. Free
radicals are molecules missing an electron. A free radical will
seek to stabilize itself and by stealing an electron from a
healthy cell. This creates yet another free radical, causing
more cell damage. The process snowballs as we age and eventually
we begin to feel its effects at around age 35 or 40 - the domino
effect of untreated massive cell damage. Things begin to go
wrong.
As the unchecked flow of free radicals damages cells we begin to
see degeneration, aging and disease. Free radicals can invade a
cell wall, damage the DNA, and begin the process that can start
cancer. They can invade the cell and cause the mitochondria, the
powerhouse of the cell, to slow down or stop working altogether.
Depending on where this happens, it can disrupt many of the
body's natural systems - from neuronal firing to hormonal
balance.
Antioxidants are molecules loaded with extra free electrons. By
providing the body with a powerful source of external
antioxidants, the free radicals are now able to stabilize
themselves by getting their electron from the antioxidants
instead of from your cells. This prevents further cell damage.
The blueberry is packed with anthocyanins, an antioxidant
phytonutrient which is a far more powerful source of
antioxidants than Vitamins A and E. Anthocyanins have been shown
to neutralize free radical damage which can result in so many
health conditions, such as cataracts, varicose veins, peptic
ulcers, heart disease, cancer - the list goes on and on.
Blueberries have been recognized as being far more powerful in
supplying antioxidants than wine. Now they have been replaced as
the #1 nutrient rich, antioxidant packed anti-aging superfood by
the acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-ee).
The acai berry contains the same antioxidant phytonutrients as
blueberries, anthocyanins, except in FAR greater amounts.
Blueberries have been shown to deliver 38% more anthocyanins
than red wine. The acai berry has been shown to be an
antioxidant 33 times more powerful than red wine and 5 times
more powerful than ginko biloba.
Dr. Nicholas Perricone in his new book the Perricone Promise
calls the acai berry the most perfect food on the planet. It
rates #1 on his list of recommendations of the top ten
ingredients to look and feel younger, enjoy revitalized health
and decelerate the aging process.
The acai berry is also very unique, being packed with so many
nutrients. It has amino acids, which is unheard of in fruits and
vegetables in North America. It has the protein content of an
egg, the essential fatty acids of olive oil and is rich in the A
and B vitamins. It is a 'multivitamin' food!
Ingesting it has incredible health benefits. Even if you are
healthy you will probably notice positive effects as you
introduce a more balanced nutrition to your body, including
increased energy and mental clarity.
Antioxidants have been recognized as an essential part of our
diet in order to restore our health and prevent future disease.
Now we have access to the most powerful antioxidant ever
discovered. This can take our health to whole new levels.
What is the best way of adding the exotic acai berry to your
diet? The best delivery of an antioxidant is ideally in liquid
form, so look for a juice product. Look for a company that
responsibly helps to conserve the Brazilian rainforest. Ideally
the company is one that is closest to the source, harvesting and
processing in Brazil. Make sure the company has the highest
quality pharmacological processing in order to ensure that you
are getting the best product, and the best results.
