Check out the 8 benefits of Açaí for health:
AÇAÍ BENEFITS IN THE PREVENTION OF CANCER:
Açaí contains anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant that plays an important role in the prevention of cancer. The anthocyanins are present in all berries (they are responsible for the black, red and purple açaí colors). Studies have shown that they can have a significant and preventive effect on cancer.
Acai Lowers Cholesterol:
A study published in the Nutrition magazine found out that rats that were fed with diets rich in fat, along with açaí pulp, had lower levels of LDL cholesterol (“bad”) than rats that were fed with diets rich in fat, without açaí pulp. The anthocyanins present in the açaí can also help to lower levels of cholesterol.
Benefits of Acai For Heart Health
A study published in the June 2011 issue of Astherosclerosis magazine found out that açaí juice protects against the atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The cholesterol-lowering benefits that were mentioned above also contribute to the role of açaí in maintaining a healthy heart.
Acai is rich in antioxidants:
Studies on the purple açaí berry have found high levels of antioxidant activity. The antioxidants are beneficial because they fight against free radicals, thereby causing a significant drop in the amounts associated with rates of cancer, heart disease and stroke.
AÇAÍ BENEFITS FOR THE IMMUNE SYSTEM:
The antioxidants in açaí, including high levels of Vitamin C, can help to boost the immune system.
AÇAÍ IS AN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENT:
There have been some promising results in studies that show that açaí can help with the symptoms of diseases that are due to chronic inflammation, such as asthma and autoimmune diseases. A study has found that the açaí can be a COX-1 inhibitor and a COX-2 natural inhibitor, which means that it can help to inhibit pain and inflammation without the side effects or prescription of COX-1 and COX-2.
AÇAÍ BENEFITS IN THE PREVENTION OF AGING:
The antioxidants in açaí can help to reduce the effects of aging. Flavonoids and anthocyanins protect the cells inside the body and can reduce the degeneration of the cells, helping to keep the body healthy and young.
AÇAÍ BENEFITS FOR WEIGHT LOSS:
Companies that sell açaí say that if often speeds up metabolism. Although it contains amino acids that are believed to be essential for a healthy metabolism, there is still little scientific evidence to prove that eating açaí aids weight loss. That being said, açaí erries are very rich in fibers and low in calories, and when any food with these qualities are consumed rather than snacks loaded with excess calories, it will be easier to maintain a healthy weight.
