In the heart of the Amazon Forest of Brazil an amazing berry was discovered that could well be the epitome of the fountain of youth - the Acai Berry. The natives that are consuming 3 servings of this berry a day, on average look younger than their age and they have none of the health problems that plague us as average human beings. There is no cancer, no strokes, no heart problems, no age related health problems and they even seem to have less wrinkles!
Research has proven that eating high amounts of Acai berry can even slow down aging because of the fact that the high antioxidant content in the berry prevents necrosis in the body. Consumption of the Acai berry can prevent and in some cases even cure almost all non-genetic diseases. The super concentration of antioxidants in the berry helps to boost the immune system and thereby prevents diseases from taking hold.

From the beaches of Brazil to the beaches of Australia, the acai berry with its health benefits and sweet flavour are finally available to active and busy Australians as a healthy new snack. One sector of the population benefiting from this berry is athletes. Acai is a natural alternative to the protein bars and shakes that they would normally eat and drink to assist with workouts, training and competitions. Of course, you do not have to be an athletic sort of person to reap the benefits of this revitalizing berry. Acai berries contain the minerals, proteins, vitamins and antioxidants occasionally lacking in the food intake of vegans, vegetarians and those on diets who do not eat meat, eggs or dairy products. What is it about the acai berry that makes it so special? Well, the key ingredients are fibre, calcium, iron, protein, phosphorus, potassium and ORAC along with vitamins B1, B2, B3, C and E which together all make this berry a powerful remedy for various health issues and ailments. The berry also contains Omega 6 and 9 as well as anthocyanin, phytosterols, polyphenols, sterols and unsaturated fatty acids. These ingredients provide health benefits to those who consume this berry. It is healthier than eggs, pomegranate, and blueberries. It benefits digestion, arthritis, inflammation, immunity, skin conditions, the heart, body cleansing, cholesterol levels, stamina, energy, and the overall health of the entire human body. Since it doesn't contain any cholesterol it can help reduce and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. It also benefits certain arthritis and inflammation problems. And, during cold winter months, it can prevent flu, viruses, and other illnesses. It is also good for stress, strengthening the heart and helping ward off heart disease - ideal for students and professionals. This may well be the reason why several athletes and well know people who live in Australia have recently become fans of the acai berry and rave about the effects the berry has had on their daily lives as well as their careers. Layne Beachley, World Surfing Champion, exclaims that Amazon Power Acai "offers the best sustenance" for her training workout as well as her surfing competitions. It keeps her satisfied throughout the day, but it is light and easily digestible. She also likes the sweet flavour and its natural contents. Since her diet is restricted due to numerous food allergies the Amazon Power Acai has the nutrients, vitamins, proteins and antioxidants she needs to replace other foods that she is unable to eat. Pro Junior Surfer and Runner-up ISA Amateur World Champion, Chris Friend, says he is given the power to train and "surf at 100% intensity" by taking Amazon Power Acai. He not only eats acai for breakfast but also as a snack during the day and he simply loves the taste. Acai is available all over the world these days and more and more people who are conscious of their health are taking acai on a regular basis. The fruit itself is similar to a sweet blueberry, with a hint of chocolate in the taste. As a juice, a puree, a powder, in capsule form, or simply as the berry itself, it will give an energy boost whilst at the same time helping to alleviate many health concerns.
