Açaí is the new darling of the health food world.  This wonderful little berry grown in the Amazon rainforest has a rich, vibrant flavor that tastes like a blend of berries and chocolate.  More importantly, it has more antioxidants than pomegranates and blueberries.  In addition, this wonder food is loaded with good-for-you essential fatty acids, protein and dietary fiber.

The açaí secret started being shared in the surfing community in the trendy beaches of  Rio de Janeiro, Brazil about 10 to 15 years ago.  In the last 3-5 years the news about the great health benefits of this little fruit started spreading across the United States and today many companies are selling everything from juices to smoothies, to sorbet made out of açaí.  Companies like Sambazon, Amazon Thunder and Bossa Nova a just a few of the brands that you will find in healthy stores across the country.

So, what exactly are the benefits of consuming this wonder berry?  Açaí provides you with greater stamina, is good for your digestive system, and helps you increase your mental focus.  Açaí has an almost perfect essential amino acid complex and trace minerals that combined are essential to proper muscle contractions and regeneration.

Studies have shown that Mediterranean diets, which generally consume a large quantity of red wine and olive oil, is good for a healthy heart, brain and skin.  Well, açaí happens to contains 30x the amount of antioxidants found in red wine and an essential fatty acid which is similar to what is contained in olive oil, so you can make your own deductions.

Açaí is also said to reduce cholesterol, help you sleep better, and, as a study at the University of Florida suggests it may even help fight cancer cells.

To make the story about açaí even better, local communities in the Amazon rainforest can make more money harvesting açaí than cutting trees for other economic activities.  In addition to helping promote the preservation of the Amazon rainforest, the sale of açaí products have  a positive economic impact to the indigenous people of the Amazon.

If you are looking to improve your health, and simultaneously help preserve the environment, açaí maybe the perfect choice for you.  

Here is to your health and to your success.
