The Power of Acai!
Acai Berries, indigenous to the Brazillian rainforest, are one of the planet's most remarkable and nutritious fruits. Acai Berries naturally contain Vitamin C and are an excellent source of polyphenols, including rutin, anthocyanins, and catechins. Acai is also naturally rich in ellagic acid. These and other antioxidant compounds protect tissues from free radical attack, a key factor in healthy aging. The nutrients and antioxidants in Acai also help support healthy immune and inflammatory response through their modulatory effects on Nitric Oxide (NO) production. Each of these effects is also important for the support of healthy heart and blood vessels.* NOW uses only solvent-free, freeze-dried Acai Berries to ensure that the nutrients present in fresh Acai are retained.
In South America, acai is used as a dessert ingredient and as juice and liqueur flavouring. In the general consumer market, acai is sold as frozen pulp, juice, and in various products from beverages and foods, to cosmetics and supplements. Although initially touted as a weight loss aid, recent research has debunked that myth. Now it is generally toted as a superfruit because of its extremely rich antioxidant content and high levels of omega fats.
Antioxidant Ability
Antioxidants have the ability to neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals are reactive substances that damage nutrients and body tissues. We are exposed to free radicals in air pollution, UV rays, cigarette smoke, and even as byproducts of our own metabolism. Free radical damage results in cancer, cardiovascular disease, and the visible signs of aging. Due to its recent fame, the antioxidant ability of acai was thoroughly tested and found to be extremely high. This is the reason it has been touted to have anti-aging effects. Also, the antioxidants found in acai have been shown to be easily absorbed by our bodies, such that even low doses can have beneficial effects.
Why are acai berries used in beauty products?
Some cosmetics and beauty products contain acai oil in the ingredient list. That's because acai oil is a powerhouse of antioxidants that can help reduce free radical skin damage. Studies show that acai oil may be a safe alternative to other tropical oils used in beauty products such as facial and body creams, anti-aging skin therapies, shampoos and conditioners. It may also have a longer shelf life, because even when acai oil is processed and stored long-term, the antioxidant levels remain high.
How do I take it?
acai berries can be found as frozen pulp or juice in various commercial beverages. In supplements, acai can be found in powder or capsules as well as in many antioxidant formulas. The juice itself is very high in antioxidants, and can be safely consumed in quantities of up to 2 cups a day. With powdered acai, although processing results in the loss of some antioxidants, it allows for further concentration of the acai, resulting in an overall more concentrated antioxidant. Recent research has shown that not all acai supplements are created equal. Those that are freeze dried prior to processing maintain significantly higher antioxidant levels than those simply frozen or air-dried ("spray dried") before use. Dosage recommendations depend on the product, but are generally 1,000-2,000mg of dried acai extract or 1-2 Tablespoons of liquid extract per day.
Your Immune System
The immune system is the police force of the body. It is a complex system of cells that defend the body from invading organisms, regulate inflammation and control abnormal cell growth. Many organs are involved in the immune response, the bone marrow, lymphatic system, thymus, liver and spleen. Bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
The spleen is a location where immune cells can monitor the blood for foreign matter. It also speeds up red blood cell production and activates blood clotting. The liver can increase body temperature and induce sweating to help fight off infections. The thymus produces B cells, which make antibodies, and T cells, which are part of the immune response.
The immune system is capable of fighting off intruders and remembering them so that they are killed off quickly if they invade again. The immune system must be able to differentiate self from non-self in order to know what to attack. If it does not recognize the body's own tissue than autoimmune diseases occurs.
The immune system can be compromised by:
-Physical or emotional stress
-Poor dietary habits
-Exposure to chemicals and medications
-Lack of sleep
-Deficiency in friendly bacteria
-Lack of physical activity
