How Can Acai Berry Help You Stay Healthy?
 Acai berry is receiving mass media attention thanks to Oprah's endorsement. The benefits from this berry are remarkable. But exactly how does the acai berry work?
The Acai berry's claim to fame is the high level of antioxidants that it contains. It has the highest ORAC rating of any other food known to man. ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorption capacity. This rating was developed by a chemist and physician named Dr. Guohua Cao. He developed this rating system to compare the antioxidant properties of different fruits and vegetables.
The antioxidant strength of Acai has been measured by a number of studies. A recent report using standardized testing on freeze-dried Acai powder showed an extremely high antioxidant effect with an ORAC value of 1026. In comparison, the ORAC value for broccoli is 130, and spinach it is 150. Antioxidants are extremely important because they fight against free radicals in our bodies that can damage cells and cause cancer.
In addition, the Acai berry is packed with polyphenols (potent plant antioxidants) and boasts up to 33 times the anthocyanin content of red wine. It is also loaded with vitamins, and trace minerals including iron, copper and calcium.
Acai also has a protein similar to eggs, has nearly 20 phytonutrients, has a monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat ratio nearly identical to olive oil, and a blood-sugar-friendly glycemic index.
The health benefits of Acai are numerous. Acai supports digestion, immune problems, energy levels, cholesterol levels, skin and hair, weight loss, and a healthy metabolism.
Taken on a daily basis, Acai can help you maintain your health. An Acai supplement is a convenient way to get the benefits of the Acai berry in to your body and is a great addition to your health care regime.
