Shocking News Acai -Super Foods Discovered
There are many types of "super foods" and it seems new ones are being discovered everyday. One of the most popular in recent times is the Acai berry. But, as with all new crazes, there are scammers who will say anything to separate you from your money. This article will go over some shocking news acai.
The acai berries grow on palm trees in tropical climates. They are loaded with vitamins and minerals and have high levels of antioxidants.
They are commonly used to help with weight loss as a nutritional supplements and an overall "super food".
The super food label does seem reasonable given the fact that these berries have more antioxidant properties than almost all other fruits.
They provide more antioxidants than cranberries, broccoli, blueberries, and pomegranates. These antioxidants are good for fighting cancer since they can absorb more free radicals in your body.
In addition to their cancer fighting properties they can also help keep other common diseases at bay such as heart disease and diabetes.
The acai berry also is loaded with vitamins and minerals and using these berries has been shown to help increase your immune response, help keep your digestive tract on track, improve your vision and even lower cholesterol.
Some even claim that these tiny little wonder berries can help you sleep better and even slow down the aging process (taking a berry that can do all that should let anyone sleep better at night!)
But, of course, with such wild claims there can be genuine concerns as to the validity of the claims as well as the best method for introducing these berries into your diet.
Whenever you are considering adding some type of supplement to your diet, all natural or not, you should talk to your doctor first. But, a word of caution; not all doctors have an open mind about these natural products.
There are many doctors who will dismiss any and all natural supplements as nonsense. If this describes your doctor, you may want to find another doctor.
Every year that goes by provides more and more compelling evidence to suggest that many man made medicines either are not as effective as they could, or should, be or could possibly be dangerous.
It is no secret that most man made medicines come with a host of side effects ranging from annoying to life threatening.
With so much evidence to suggest that man made may not be the best alternative, any doctor who stubbornly refuses to research more natural alternatives is too stuck in the past.
