Acai Berry the New Weight Loss Superfood

July 17th, 2008 Posted in Diet, Supplements

The Acai Berry [pronounced a-sigh-y] is a small, black, round berry. Resembling smaller version of a grape, this fruit has a small amount of pulp surrounding a large seed at it’s center. Acai Berry fruit is used in a wide variety of health foods and other common consumer products like ice cream.

How the Acai Berry Facilitates Weight Loss

As far as the Acai berry assisting with fat loss, Acai can be a great weight loss aid. The berry’s natural concoction of essential fatty acids, fiber, phytosterols and amino acids work together to help your body burn fat more efficiently, process food more quickly and shed the unwanted pounds that you’d like to lose.

Fatty Acids
Our bodies need essential fatty acids to maintain proper health. Our bodies are unable to produce Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. It just so happens that these fatty acids are plentiful in Acai berries.

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids help increase your metabolism, which helps you to lose weight more quickly. In providing these Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, the Acai berry can help you shed those extra pounds.

Fiber
Acai contains a generous amount of fiber, which helps your digestive tract to move food through your body. In this way, excess food is eliminated rather than absorbed and turned into fat. Similar to the fatty acids mentioned above, fiber also helps to satiate hunger.

Amino Acids
The Acai berry is rich with amino acids, which are widely known as the building blocks of protein. Your muscles need these amino acids in order to operate properly, and to regenerate from resistance training trauma or other exercise stress. Since the fatty acids in Acai increase your metabolism and the amino acids build your muscles, we can say that the nutrients in Acai berries help your body burn fat and energy more efficiently, causing you to lose weight.

Phytosterols
These building blocks of cell membranes help fortify your digestive tract, moving waste materials out and absorbing nutrients more efficiently. Acai berries are one possible source of Phytosterols.

Why Use Acai Berry Supplements?

I personally enjoy the Acai Berry because of it’s antioxidant properties. In this day and age of phytoestrogens, chemicals, pesticides, and other nasty environmental toxins, we can’t get enough antioxidants.

You might have a use for an Acai Berry supplement if you are:

• trying to gain muscle
• trying to lose fat
• have any nasty ailments like arthritis, diabetes, or fibromyalgia
• trying to look and feel younger
• experiencing sexual dysfunction
• preparing for old age by taking all the health supplements you can get your hands on
• looking for either the holy grail or the fountain of youth

experiencing digestive issues

• healing from an injury

I have a contact that can hook us all up with a free trial of Pure Acai Berry. You might as well try it and see if you like it. Only positive things could possibly happen.
