ACAI BERRY FOR DETOXIFYING THE BODY

Acai berry is one of the strongest antioxidant supplements in the world. It is a super antioxidant and can be absorbed very well by the human body. Over the years, research has shown that this fruit can do a lot for human body. Acai berry is ripe with antioxidants like anthocyanins. It also contains large quantities of flavonoid-like compounds like orientin, homoorientin, scoparin, deoxyhexose, taxifolin, isovitexin, etc. which are known for their brilliant antioxidant capabilities.

So what exactly is this berry? Acai berry is the fruit of acai palm. It is a “superfruit” which is high demand these days. It is gaining wide popularity in all parts of the world, particularly in the Western world. It has been growing in the Amazon basin since ages and the native people of that area have been consuming it for health benefits. These trees grow in the floodplains and swamps where water is abundant. It is only recently that the fruit has been made available in the other parts of the world where it is quickly gaining prominence. When consumed, this little berry from Brazil leaves a slightly bitter taste in the mouth which is akin to the taste of chocolate. This property of the acai berry makes it suitable for use in preparation of drinks such as fruit sodas, fruit juices, smoothies, and so on. Therefore, it is very convenient for consumption.

We live in a toxic world. The human body is home to a large number of free radicals and toxins which are potentially harmful. The free radicals are atoms, molecules or ions which take part in chemical reactions. These free radicals are used in a number of biological processes but in the course of that they also cause some serious degradation of cells through the chemical process of oxidation. It is important that action of free radicals in the body is checked and that’s precisely what antioxidants do. They counter the oxidative reactions caused by the free radicals (hence the name ‘antioxidant’). By doing so, antioxidants can prevent cellular damage and thus slow down the process of ageing in human beings. Without antioxidants, the action of free radicals can go unchecked. Consequently, the human body is likely to age faster. Diseases are also more likely to strike the human body in such a scenario. The acai berry is something much more than just a fruit. It is a storeroom of antioxidants and this is what makes it the “wonder fruit.” Acai can be instrumental in improving the overall health of the body.

Acai berry is known to have a lot more antioxidants than pomegranates or blueberries
