Acai berries – a top 10 superfood

by Wendy

Acai berries are an Amazonian rainforest berry that is reported to be the most antioxidant-rich food ever tested. Dark purple in color, the acai berry doesn’t look very impressive, but has quite a nice chocolatey taste.

It is claimed that acai berries boost energy, cures hangovers and strengthens the immune system. It also protects your brain from age-related decline and is said to perform the same function for your heart. It is believed that anthocyanins, the chemicals in red wine, lower the risk of heart disease – and acai berries contain ten times more anthocyanins than red wine!

Acai berries are also packed with fatty acids, calcium and vitamins. Our bodies absorb toxins every day from the environment we live in – the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Antioxidants mop up the free radicals produced by the toxins – and acai berries have a very high antioxidant potential.
