New Acai Berry Diet Advice

By Ashley R Richardson

The acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) has been touted as the world's greatest "superfood" and it has been attributed with many amazing claims from weight loss to cancer prevention and even anti-aging.

Many of these claims are most likely highly exaggerated since there are many, many highly nutritious "superfoods" found in nature and there is no single "miracle" food that can cure all that ails you. The acai berry is just another in a long line of healthy foods.

Nevertheless, the acai berry does have one of the top antioxidant capacities of any food found on the planet. It even has twice as many antioxidants as blueberries and as much as 10 times as much as red grapes. It also boasts a good supply of essential fatty acids in the form of Omega 3, 6 and 9 and monounsaturated fats in the form of oleic acid, which is similar to olive oil. And along with all of that it also has a large quantity of phytosterols and healthy dietary fiber.

All in all the acai berry is an extremely healthy and nutritious food loaded with antioxidants and several of the other nutrients that our bodies desire and require to function at an optimal level. But this berry and the products made from this berry are not the miracle answer to your anti-aging, fat fighting, and disease prevention pursuit for great health.

It has been confirmed by science that while it is possible to get antioxidants and other nutrients from supplements it is by far better to obtain your nutrients from the consumption of a healthy diet. Each and every one of the nutrients that we need including the outstanding nutrients that are found in the acai berry work at their optimal levels when combined with other nutrients. In nutrition the synergy of the whole beats a single nutrient every time.

Therefore if you want to get the highest benefit from the acai berry you need to include it as part of a balanced, highly nutritious diet that includes many other high antioxidant foods including blueberries, pomegranates, pumpkin, kale, spinach, sweet potatoes and the list goes on and on. And of course, the greatest advice for diet and for the consumption of all foods including highly nutritious foods is "all things in moderation".

Acai berries and the products made from them can be an exceptionally healthy contribution to a well-balanced and healthy diet plan. The high nutrition and the excellent antioxidant qualities can help you reduce the effects of aging, lose extra weight and prevent serious disease, not on its own but only as a component of a nutritious overall diet plan.

Because when it comes to nutrition the synergy of the whole range of nutrients is by far more efficient than the singularity of just one food no matter how nutritious that food may be and moderation is always the key. - 17268
