Why Acai Berry is the Queen of Purple!
Are you looking for loads of energy, more radiant skin and thicker hair? Would you like to slow the signs and symptoms of aging and look and feel more youthful? Your answers may be with the Queen of Purple: The acai berry!
A few months ago, I began noticing that my hair was not as thick as it used to be. My skin seemed dull and more lines were showing up. Worst of all, I was feeling tired and sluggish most of the time. For the past five years, I have been eating fairly healthy trying to eat more fruits and veggies, but it is pretty hard to get eight servings per day in as recommended. I exercise as well, but my low energy levels were making it more difficult.
After a visit to the doctor where everything checked out okay, I decided to explore other avenues. I decided that I must need a supplement. After much research, I decided that acai berries were the way to go. They offer antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids and essential amino acids.
Of course, so do other supplements, but acai berry extracts used in natural supplement contain more antioxidants and a nearly complete amount of essential amino acids making them a great plant protein source.
Using a test called Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), the total antioxidant power of a given food or substance can be measured. While blueberries have an ORAC of 2400, Amazonian acai berries have an ORAC of 90,000 making their antioxidant capabilities more powerful than any known food source.
Anthocyanins have been studied quite a bit. They are the phytochemicals that are responsible for the coloring of purple plants. They are highly powerful antioxidants and are found in acai berries, cherries, plums, bilberry, elderberry, blueberries and black cherries.
One of the most compelling actions of these highly powerful antioxidants is their anti-inflammatory ability, which lab studies have found to prevent a number of health problems.
Anthocyanin supplementation in animals reduced allergic reactions, reversed neurological defects normal in aging, reduced capillary malfunction as occurs in diabetes and prevented blood vessel damage. Anthocyanins are also capable of inhibiting human tumor cell growth and thus fantastic for cancer prevention.
Free radicals and the damage they incur are implicated in aging, cancer, heart disease and a number of health problems. Acai berry antioxidants such as anthocyanins fight free radical damage by neutralizing and preventing free radicals and cellular damage. Acai berries nutrient content helps restore cellular health through regeneration and repair.
When I began offering my body acai berries and their vast array of health benefits, I had more energy within the first week and better skin quality and thicker more radiant hair within a month.
Acai berries are not an instant solution. You will not have an energy rush as you would with a cup of coffee. Nor can acai berries cover up fine lines like cosmetics or boost your hair volume like hair care products. Instead, they offer long term solutions and better results by restoring youth and improving overall health from the inside out.
Acai berries offer a wide range of health benefits including disease prevention, immunity boosting and anti-aging.
