Every so often we are told of a new fruit, vegetable, root

or supplement with exceptional health advantages. Almost

all are associated with special diets that help us lose

weight, gain energy and basically change our lives for the

better. Usually you hear about them for anywhere from a

couple of weeks to a year or more and the something new

comes along. So basically we've seen all of the

alternatives from A to Z.

Well guess what? We are back to "A" with the Acai

(pronounced a-sigh-ee) berry. The Acai berry which comes

from the acai' palm is a native of Central and South

America. It is widely touted as coming from Brazil,

although that is only one of many countries that produce

he palms. It looks a little like a grape but is smaller

and darker with a large seed and very little pulp.

The list of reported advantages to using Acai is as long

as the different ways you can introduce it into your diet.

Some of the reported advantages include weight loss,

increased energy, removes body toxins, improves brain

function,fights heart disease and reduce gas and bloating.

It can be taken in tea, juice or mixed in your food and

purchased as pills, capsules, ready made drinks or powder

for mixing.

Basically, Acai has a lot of vitamins and nutrients which

are found in many other fruits, albeit in higher

concentrations. It has a very high concentration of omega

fatty acids as well as fiber, calcium, vitamin C, B1 and

B2 all of which are naturally good for us.

Many of us have aches, pains and other health problems that

could be relieved by a wide range of remedies. For myself

I would prefer the use of natural ingredients such as fruit

and vegetables, things God created, rather than the

selection of man made medications available today. I'm not

against prescription drugs, believe me I've had my share

that did the job. However, I am increasingly concerned

about the warnings and possible side effects that now come

with most prescriptions. Also as I get older I seem to be

more susceptible to the side effects.
