What You Should Know About Acai

The word is out about the benefits of acai. And it’s not just hype: with more than twice the antioxidants of blueberries, the acai berry has captured the attention of the health-conscious community.

The acai berry has been known as the “beauty berry” for centuries by the inhabitants of the Brazilian rainforest where it grows. The reason? Rich in antioxidants, acai is known to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and to even out skin tone. Because acai is chock full of antioxidants, amino acids (protein), and essential fatty acids, the tiny purple berry packs a nutritional punch rarely seen in the natural world.

To the people of South America and the Brazilian Amazonian region, the acai berry has been a staple and critical medicinal berry for centuries. There are many legends that pertain to the acai’s incredible healing and sustaining powers, and acai remains a popular health and energy food in Brazil today.

Acai berries can help you feel full longer. The acai berry is loaded with heart-healthy omega fatty acids, which work to coat your stomach. This slows digestions to give you the sensation of feeling full, which may help reduce the urge to snack in-between meals or late at night.
