The Honesty Concerning The Acai Berry Diet And Weight Loss
Written by Sharon E Robinson on January 11th, 2010Everyone knows that regular exercise is one of the best ways to lose weight and if you have been researching diet and weight loss lately you have no doubt heard about the amazing acai berry and the acai berry diet plan. Claims are that you can lose a bunch of weight just by consuming this nutritious little berry that tastes like blueberries dipped in dark chocolate and is grown only in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Reading the claims you might think that you have stumbled upon a perfect solution.
Well the fact is that the acai berry, which is only found in the Brazilian rainforest, will not help you lose any more weight than the blueberry that is found in the state of Maine. Present are no magic bullets or mystical potions when it comes to weight loss.
However, the acai berry can be a benefit to weight loss and an aid to our bodies for the prevention of diseases, the reduction of inflammation in our bodies and the slowdown of the aging process. It is not because this little berry is a magical fruit but rather because this berry is one of the healthiest and most nutritious foods ever found in nature.
Did you know that antioxidant qualities in foods are measured by the ORAC score or the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and the acai berry actually has one of the highest ORAC scores ever found in a food. It has more than 10 times the antioxidants as grapes and even two times the amount of antioxidants as blueberries, which are another potent fruit.
The acai berry is also high in the essential fatty acids Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9. Up to 50% of the edible pulp is comprised of these fatty acids and monounsaturated oleic acid, which is the same healthy fat that is found in olive oil.
The acai berry is also atypical in the fact that it contains 19 amino acids, which are the building blocks to protein. They also play host to vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C and E along with the minerals potassium, magnesium, copper, calcium and zinc.
Acai berries are exceptionally perishable and it has only been in very recent times that it has been offered outside of Brazil at all. The berries have to be processed within 24 hours of removal from the tree in order to maintain the nutritional integrity of the fruit. Dissimilar processing methods yield different results and the best way to process these berries is with a freeze-drying method.
No, the acai berry is not a magical fruit that will help you lose weight but it is an extremely healthy food that can aid your body in achieving optimal health and wellness and when you do that your body responds in a positive manner to diet and exercise and the weight can then more effortlessly come off.
