I will bet that if you are reading this article that you have heard about the acai berry and want to learn more! Let's start with the pronunciation. Acai is pronounced "ah-sigh-ee". There, that's better. Practice saying it a few times. As soon as you feel confident in saying it (out loud of course!) then you will be ready to read on and learn how wonderful it is!
The acai berry comes from the acai palm tree in the Brazilian rainforests. It looks like a blueberry, yet is darker in color. Dr. Perricone calls it "the number one super food in the world." The acai berry is definitely nature's perfect energy fruit. It contains vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids, amino acids and fiber. It is hard to believe that so many good things come in such a tiny fruit!
The acai berry has no known side effects. It is like eating an apple, it's a fruit! So, eat away!
Many people are interested in including this berry in their diets. One reason that it is popular is that it helps you shed those unwanted pounds. Because it contains fiber, eating the acai berry will leave you feeling full and will help suppress your appetite.
Others take it for the benefits that the antioxidants provide. Antioxidants help rid your body of unwanted toxins. Still others take it to build up their energy and stamina levels.
The acai berry is not readily available at your local grocery stores. It is available at several health and gourmet stores, and, of course, online. Beware what you are buying, though! You want to make sure that you are purchasing a product that is made with actual acai berries. Many products out there are not made with actual acai berries. Do your homework and check out the company that you want to purchase from. Verify that the product you are purchasing meets high standards. There are several companies that will let you try their products for free. These trial periods are a great way to test out a product, and only have to pay for the shipping. Remember to shop wisely so that you are getting the best product that you can.
Now that you can pronounce acai correctly (you have said it 9 times already!) and you know why it is called "the number one super food in the world", isn't it time to try it for yourself?
