Acai Berry Benefits

Much of the evidence surrounding acai berries supports the belief that they help the whole body to perform more efficiently. A few of the main health benefits of acai berries are:

• Antioxidant content: Acai has one of the highest antioxidant ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbency Capacity) values of any fruit and helps to defend against free-radical damage from the toxins and chemicals our bodies are exposed to on a daily basis. This free-radical damage is a common cause of premature aging and disease.

• Energy Levels: The rich vitamin B content helps to sustain normal energy levels and improve general body functioning, which means the body wastes less energy performing simple everyday functions.

• Heart Health: The anthocyanins promote normal blood flow and reduce oxidation to cholesterol, which causes fatty plaques from sticking to artery walls. Small-scale pilot studies show promise in reducing cholesterol levels and metabolic syndrome risk factors, particularly in overweight adults. However, further studies are needed.

• Immune System: The berries are rich in iron and vitamins A and C, which defend the body against oxidative stress and help the immune system to function more efficiently.
