Thursday, April 29, 2010
While it would be impossible for the acai berry to live up to the hype that was generated when it first hit the US market, the tiny berry does offer a myriad of benefits. Of the manifold benefits that acai berries offer, one of the most important is their high concentration of antioxidants. These molecules prevent oxidation and work to rid the body of detrimental free radicals.
In addition to antioxidants, the acai berry also has a high amount of fiber and is low in sugar. The berries also boast ample levels of other vitamins, minerals and healthy fatty acids. Other health benefits of acai berry include improved heart health, cholesterol reduction, weight management and increased energy.
