The Acai Berry
Can acai help in managing the stress and speed of 21st Century living ...
Life today, even with its blessings has its great curse – extreme stress, which is the basis for a massive range of illnesses and diseases.
We all know we don’t spend enough time “off the clock”, but our entrenched habits and 21st century financial needs get in the way of easy change.
So how can we do something to “slow down the clock”, that’s not time consuming or expensive? How can we re-build the body’s defenses against the damage of being over-stressed? We all know the best way is take more time out, eat more healthily and exercise regularly – but the “buts” get in the way.
We’ve heard that some supplements might help, not a miracle cure, but help start a positive healthy change. But what to go for? There are so many products out there, which ones might help to rebuild your body’s natural immune system? Remembering that it should be natural and safe, fresh and without any bad side effects.
Essential antioxidants, amino acids and minerals may help combat stress
Well now there is evidence that shows that the Acai berry could be one of the foods you should be considering. Acai berries contain an abundance of essential amino acids and antioxidants, more than most other fruits.
Antioxidants are essential to a healthy body, helping to keep your skin looking youthful, helping to keep your muscles vibrant, and helping your body stay energetic and poised. Antioxidants are the enemies of the harmful “free radicals” that inhabit in your body.
These highly reactive “free radical” cells initiate chain reactions among otherwise healthy cells. These targeted cells then start to work poorly or even die, which can have serious consequences when they attack cell membranes or DNA.
Antioxidants protect your body
Antioxidants in food act as a defence mechanism against these free radicals as the body itself is unable to make the main vitamin antioxidant that helps to kill off these free radicals. They intercept the free radicals protecting healthy cells before they are attacked.
Antioxidants also help to relieve blood vessel damage, keeping a strong blood flow to vital organs such as the heart and brain, lowering the risks of cardiovascular disease, and DNA damage.
The amino acids in Acai contain fibres, carbohydrates, healthy fatty acids and phytosterols.
These all help to maintain a proper metabolism that in turn helps detoxify our body. These amino acids help turn the nutrients your body absorbs into energy, helping you keep and develop a healthier body and mind.
