Acai berry

Since being featured on the Oprah's Show, acai berry has gained huge popularity around the world almost overnight. It's being touted as a "super supplement", as it has many properties that benefit the body: it aids digestion, has a great nutrient and antioxidant profile, increases one's physical and mental energy, and eliminates toxins from the body.

Acai (ah-SAH-ee) is not a drug, a supplement or a vitamin. Until recently it would have been hard to buy Acai outside of Brazil and the Amazon.(read more - bloomberg.com)

It is a berry that is indigenous to the Amazon. The natives there have used it for hundreds of years, the benefits they boast are better stamina, abundant energy, enhanced alertness and overall better health.

The acai berry is also a rich source of protein and dietary fiber, in addition to high levels of both omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, thought to have a protective effect on the heart and cardiovascular system. The omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids contained in the acai berry may also play a role in lowering levels of cholesterol in the blood.

In addition to these important benefits, the acai berry is thought to play a vital role in slowing down the aging process. In health food circles, the acai berry is known as one of the most powerful of the anti-aging superfoods. It is thought that this anti-aging effect is a combination of the high levels of anthocyanins and the strong antioxidant vitamin content the fruit contains. In fact, the acai berry is known to contain ten times as many antioxidant vitamins as grapes and twice as many as blueberries.

Another big plus is that it helps with weight loss by accelerating the rate at which the body burns fat. Because acai berry also helps with the rate that food moves through the system, the body has less time to store unwanted fat and toxins. This process leads to weight loss.

Essential fatty acids ratio that resembles olive oil, which has been shown to help combat heart disease
*Essential fatty acids - In the body, essential fatty acids are primarily used to produce hormone-like substances that regulate a wide range of functions, including blood pressure, blood clotting, blood lipid levels, the immune response, and the inflammation response to injury infection.
Since they cannot be made in the body from other substrates and must be supplied in food, they are called essential fatty acids.
The essential fatty acids are important in several human body systems, including the immune system and in blood pressure regulation, since they are used to make compounds such as prostaglandins. ( Prostaglandins are found in most tissues and organs ) Tissue is a group of similar cells which have an identical general function.

Brazilian berry destroys cancer cells in lab, UF study shows

Filed under Agriculture, Health, Research, Sciences on Thursday, January 12, 2006.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A Brazilian berry popular in health food contains antioxidants that destroyed cultured human cancer cells in a recent University of Florida study, one of the first to investigate the fruit’s purported benefits.
Published today in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the study showed extracts from acai (ah-SAH’-ee) berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested, said Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
“Acai berries are already considered one of the richest fruit sources of antioxidants,” Talcott said. “This study was an important step toward learning what people may gain from using beverages, dietary supplements or other products made with the berries.”
He cautioned that the study, funded by UF sources, was not intended to show whether compounds found in acai berries could prevent leukemia in people.
“This was only a cell-culture model and we don’t want to give anyone false hope,” Talcott said. “We are encouraged by the findings, however. Compounds that show good activity against cancer cells in a model system are most likely to have beneficial effects in our bodies.” (read more..)
