I Just Love Rachel Ray And Acai Berry

By Brad Jensen

You may not know about Acai Berry but Rachel Ray is raving about this little Amazon berry. It has also been featured on the Oprah show. It is one of the 10 superfoods promoted by Dr Perricone. Studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Acai berries are the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree.

Harvested only in the rainforests of Brazil, acai berry tastes like a delicious blend of and chocolate. Acai berry is packed full of amino acids, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. Although acai berry may not yet be available in your local supermarket, you can find it in several health food and gourmet stores.

One of the benefits of acai is that it can reverse signs of aging. A potent mixture of antioxidants that can help combat premature aging including 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times then the proven benefits of red wine. These antioxidants keep your skin soft and smooth and supple and can actually eliminate some pre-existing wrinkles.

Acai also contains a wonderful combo of dietary fiber, healthy fats, and phytosterols. These ingredients work together to facilitate digestive and cardiovascular health. Phytosterols from plant sources are super helpful in treating many conditions, such as arthritis, immune system deficiencies, and high cholesterol. The plant sterols try to saturate absorption sites faster than those of cholesterol, which is an animal sterol, and therefore reduce the total amount of cholesterol absorbed by the body. Total and low-density lipid cholesterol levels can be reduced by the consumption of phytosterols which represents an enormous health benefit to anyone at risk of high cholesterol..

Acai berries also contain an extremely healthy essential amino acid complex which act in conjunction with valuable trace minerals to promote proper muscle health regeneration and contraction.

The health benefits of acai berry are numerous and varied. The important essential fatty acid content of acai is very similar to that of healthy oils such as flax seed oil, grapeseed oil, canola oil and olive oil. It is also is a great source of oleic acid.

Oleic acid is critical to good health for many reasons. Oleic acid helps make cell membranes healthier by making them more flexible by allowing for the penetration of omega-3 acids. By making our cell membranes flexible, our cells can function optimally. This benefit really can't be exaggerated as high insulin levels create an inflammation and inflammation causes all sorts of problems. Oleic acid also exhibits other health benefits. It has been shown to prevent the development of heart disease which is a major concerns amongst adults.

The oleic acid found in acai berry is also used as an ingredient in Lorenzo's oil. This oil was made famous in a movie about a parents search for a cure for their son's mystery illness. This medication prevents the onset of adrenoleukodystrophy which is a condition effecting boys that causes symptoms similar to those seen in multiple sclerosis patients. Although not a complete cure, Lorenzo's oil can delay onset or progression of the ALD in those who do not yet show signs of the disease..

The health benefits of acai are varied and truly compelling. You owe it to yourself to take the advise of Rachel Ray and give acai berry a try. - 17268
