Here is an interesting hypothesis – Acai Berry can help one to lose weight. True or False? Before we attempt to demystify that hypothesis, let’s first take a look at how weight loss actually occurs. Only after understanding how the weight loss process works can we begin to see the role of Acai Berry in weight loss programs.

Weight loss programs that don’t work.

There are many weight loss programs that don’t work. For such programs, you will usually observe a short term loss of weight, but once the program has been halted, the individual immediately put on weight again. How did this happen?

Well, such weight loss programs usually start by asking the individual to reduce intake of food, and take additional weight loss supplements. When the body receives less nutrients and fats, it starts to burn of reserves in the body to maintain the same level of energy. As a result, the body starts to lose weight. But losing weight by reducing intake of food is a short term measure. After all, the body cannot go on indefinitely on small amounts of food. So the program stops after a some time. And now the individual starts feasting again. Because the metabolism rate of the body has not changed (or may have declined), the body starts storing up fats again. This leads to the increase in weight.

Weight loss programs that do work.

What is missing from the equation is that there is nothing done to improve the metabolism of the body. The metabolism rate of the body determines the rate at which the body burns off fat. The higher the metabolism rate, the faster it can convert food into energy. And the only way metabolism rate can increase, is through regular exercise. Therefore, there is no avoiding the pain of exercise, if the weight loss program is to work for the long term.

Any weight loss program that do work, has an exercise program. The exercise keeps the cardiovascular system fit, and strengthens all parts of the body. To keep up with the exercise program, the body naturally starts to adjust and metabolism rate is increased. That’s why we sometimes see people who eat and eat and they don’t grow fat. Why? Because they exercise!

The role of Acai berry.

As you can see, diet and exercise both play important roles in the weight loss program. What is interesting about the Acai berry is that it contains many different types of nutrients that are beneficial to the body. Perhaps its most important feature is its ability to function as an antioxidant.

An antioxidant helps remove harmful toxins from the body. In the course of our daily lives, we may have inhaled or consumed harmful substances that we don’t even know about. Over time, such substances may build up to harmful levels and weaken our immune system.

Our immune system is central to our overall health. When the system fails, our frail bodies become vulnerable to all kinds of illnesses and diseases.

By removing harmful toxins from the body, the Acai berry has an immediate impact on our immune system – it helps to strengthen the system. Only with a healthy body can an individual continue to stick with a strict exercise regime.

In this way, the Acai berry helps the body to regain its vitality so that it can continue to lose weight and stay healthy.

A recently completed University of Florida study has added to the buzz surrounding the Brazilian acai berry which is sold in many health stores as an antioxidant supplement. The study is, hopefully, one of the first of many to research the many claims attributed to the acai fruit.

In it’s study, six different chemical extracts were made from acai berry pulp, and each extract was prepared in seven concentrations.

At least 4 of the extracts killed a great many cancer cells when applied for 24 hours or more. Anywhere from 35 percent to 86 percent of the cancer cells were destroyed, depending on the particular extract and concentration.

According to Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, the study showed extracts from acai berries triggered a self-destruct response (apoptosis) in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested

Talcott, however, cautioned against reading too much into the results, noting that the tests were run against cancer cell cultures and not on human test subjects.

Still, the results are exciting. In the last year, the Brazilian berry has really taken off in the United States. It has also caught the attention of many companies who are now creating products that include the acai berry.

Although, acai berries are thought to be one of the richest fruit sources of antioxidants, other fruits that are rich in antioxidants such as mangoes, grapes, have been shown to kill cancer cells in similar studies.

Antioxidants are substances that may protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Free radical damage is theorized to be one of the main causes of cancer. A sufficient amount of antioxidants are thought by many to short-circuit this process by interacting with and stabilizing the free radicals and may stopping the damage that they do to healthy cells.

Experts are divided on just what effect antioxidants have on cancer cells in the human body, because of the many other lifestyle factors that have to be factored into the equation. There is much evidence that antioxidants may slow or even prevent the development of cancer cells. On the other hand, many double blind studies have not been conclusive -with some seeming to indicate that antioxidants retard cancer cell growth and others indicating that it has no effect.

There have been many anecdotal claims made for the Amazon acai berry fruit. And traditionally Indians in the Brazilian rain forest have used it in ways as diverse as food, house thatching, drink, diarrhea, jaundice, fevers, and as treatment for many other health diseases.

The University of Florida study as well as others are a welcome step towards getting away from some of the claims of acai and subjecting it to controlled studies in the laboratory.

“A lot of claims are being made, but most of them haven’t been tested scientifically,” Talcott said. “We are just beginning to understand the complexity of the acai berry and its health-promoting effects.”

I have a feeling most of you hear are familiar enough with dieting that you don’t buy into all the hype, but I perhaps this information will be valuable to some of you. I’ll start by talking about a current set of events. I’m sure all of you have heard of the “acai berry” diet pills that have been spreading across the internet like wildfire lately. If any of your email addresses happen to have been sold to a diet pill salesman, you’ve probably gotten a few emails trying to promote these acai berry pills.

How did this acai berry craze get started and why is there so much hype? It got it’s big boost when Oprah featured the acai berry on her show as the #1 “superfood”. Some clever yet deceitful marketers thought they could use this to their advantage by selling a diet pill centered around the acai berry and advertise it as being “featured on Oprah” and “endorsed by Dr. Nicholas Perricone”.

The truth is that neither Oprah nor Dr. Perricone ever said anything about the acai berry having any weight loss properties. But that didn’t matter. They knew that it would still sell. But having this fake “endorsement” from Oprah wasn’t enough. They also decided to give away “free” trials of the diet pill to get more people to try it. The problem with that though, is that since it doesn’t really help you lose weight, nobody would order again after their free trial.

How did they get around this?

They got around it by using another deceitful marketing trick. If you read the fine legal print on the page where you sign up for your free trial, you’ll see that by getting a free trial, you are agreeing to sign up for an automatic rebill each month for a resupply of the product, unless you cancel before the free trial period is expired. Not many people read the fine legal print, I know I don’t, so most people didn’t think to call up and end their free trial. Then, when their credit card was billed for the $80 resupply, it was too late to do anything about it. Not only that, but even if you did try to call and cancel your order, you were often met with a busy signal or sent straight to voice mail. It was very hard to get through to an actual person on the phone.

But EVEN THAT wasn’t enough.

To promote the diet pill even MORE, they started an “affiliate program”. They paid “affiliates” (who are basically the same thing as salesman) up to $30 or more for each person who the affiliate got to sign up for a free trial. Anyone can become an affiliate for these acai berry diet pill manufacturers. All you have to do is sign up for the program and then start sending out links to their webpage with your account name attached to the end of the link so they can track it. That way they know, anyone who visits their site from a link that has your account name comes from you, so if they sign up for a free trial, they know to pay you the commission. Usually salesman only get a % of a sale. When you buy a car, the salesman might get 2-3% of the price. But these acai berry manufacturers were paying salesman 600% of the sale price! (free, but $5 shipping) This high of commission is practically unheard of because usually companies can’t make a profit by giving their salesman MORE money than the company is getting paid for the product. BUT, because each customer is automatically signed up for a monthly rebill that very few people cancel from, that’s why the commissions are so high. And these high commissions draw salesman like crazy. There are literally tens of thousands of affiliates (or salesman) trying to sell these acai berry diet pills. And since there is so much anonymity on the internet, these salesman are willing to do anything to get that commission, including lie and deceive. Let me show you a few examples.

You can find sites like these by just guessing. Just type in some girls name followed by “weightloss.com” or “dietblog.com” and you’ll find hundreds of sites like these. They are all made by salesman who found out that these are effective ways of playing on peoples emotions by trying to get people to trust them to get them to sign up for a free trial. Anyway, I think I am beginning to rant. I’m sorry this post is so long, I just feel like I have to let people know the truth. I have an insiders view into this industry and it makes me sick to see what all goes on.

And it doesn’t stop with diet pills either. It happens with every product sold online. Belkin makes internet modems and routers. They were PAYING people to write fake positive reviews about their products on sites like Amazon.com. Really the only way to get honest reviews online is to visit heavily moderated forums and listen to people who have built up a longstanding reputation with the site.

The only way to find honest reviews of diet products is to visit a heavily moderated forum with a close-nit community. Visit Best Diet Pill Reviews.org and submit your own reviews of any diet pill or plan you’ve tried so that we can build a community focused on weeding out spam and advertising and get straight to the facts about dieting and weight loss.

I hope this article has opened your eyes to the tricks employed by online marketers. It’s a sad state of affairs, but when it comes to online product reviews and suggestions, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware) has never rang more true.

Any food that contains high levels of antioxidants is always a good thing, but that does not mean that the antioxidants are the very property that makes the food a good tool for dieting. That is the most common misconception surrounding acai berry and all acai berry based products. As many people already know, this small, innocuous-looking, dark purple berry has been praised by the western world as the super food to top all super foods. It seems that the acai berry has 12 times the antioxidants as compared to the blueberry. Antioxidants help preserve the cells of the body by encouraging faster cell renewal. This helps keep the skin clear and young looking. This also contributes to the overall feeling on youth and stamina. However, antioxidants do not directly help in shedding off those unwanted pounds.

So why is the acai berry (and all other products based on the fruit) being hailed as the best tool for dieting? The answer lies in its two lesser known properties. To be more precise, acai berry contains high levels of fiber and omega fatty acids.

High levels of fiber in itself can be used as a tool for dieting since it flushes out the toxins and most other unwanted materials from the body. Fiber is especially helpful in binding to the fat deposits in some food. In which case, the fats gets expelled out of the body with the fiber. This lessens the incidence of the body actually absorbing such fats.

On the other hand, omega fatty acids almost have the same toxin flushing property. These essential acids help increase blood flow by keeping the bad cholesterol and glycerine at a comfortable level. If a person has high levels of bad cholesterol and glycerine in his or her bloodstream, chances are the vessels of the carotid arteries will constrict. So much so that the constriction will make the blood move in a more sluggish manner. This will make digestion (among all bodily functions) slow down as well. If digestion is slowed down, then the process of eliminating waste from the body is likewise stalled. So high levels of omega fatty acids ensure that the body keeps bad cholesterol at bay; in turn, this speed up the digestive process considerably, making waste expelling relatively faster and easier.

Fiber is also known to be a natural appetite suppressant. Fiber rich foods tend to keep the body satiated from hunger for longer periods of time. It allows the stomach to feel like it is always “full” even when there are less calories being taken in by the person. This tends to curb most unwanted tendencies to binge or eat beyond the scope of the recommended diet.

Likewise, omega fatty acids lower down the glycerine or blood sugar level in the lymphatic system. If a person has very high levels of blood sugar, the body feels the need to eat and eat some more. The bad news to this scenario is that once a person eats, the blood sugar increases as well, making the person’s need to eat more food even more urgent. This cycle does not stop, even several hours after digestion. By helping control the levels of glycerine in the system, omega fatty acids also help curb the appetite, making the person less prone to seek calorie rich foods particularly carbohydrate-based sweets.

Pronounced ah-SAH-ee the grape-like acai berry grows on tall palm trees in the Brazilian rainforest of the Amazon jungle. Viewed on the tree, they look like gigantic grape vines clumped together high above the ground. Ounce for ounce, the acai has the highest antioxidant activity known to man. Antioxidant activity is measured by the ORAC value which tells a food’s effectiveness in fighting free radicals. The ORAC value for the acai far surpasses all the fruits at the top of the list: cranberry, blueberry, and plums.

For children with autism, oxidative stress is an underlying issue. These renegade particles cause stress upon our cells, even damaging cells and their proteins and causing inflammation. This inflammation can result in many health problems such as cancer, heart disease, and autism. Antioxidants combat this stress by overcoming the free radicals and eliminating them.  For children with autism, a wholesome diet, exercise, and stress control will allow the antioxidant to work best.

At the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Domenico Pratico and his colleagues studied autistic children’s blood vessel function. They took urinary samples from 26 autistic children and 12 non-disabled controls. They found that autistic children’s levels of isoprostane (caused when free radicals attack fat cells) was nearly double compared to control children. This showed high levels of oxidative stress. These findings agreed with earlier studies indicating that autistic children have impaired antioxidant defenses—producing higher levels of problem particles and lower levels of antioxidants.

It is common knowledge that children with a balanced diet have improved behavior and the highly effective antioxidant acai berry would be a marvelous addition to any diet. Of course, every child case is different. Food allergies and diabetes would definitely affect results. The acai berry is a food item and makes no medical claims.

For many years, the Acai berry (ah-sah-ee) has been a well-kept secret of the Amazon rainforest and it has only been on the market for about the last 5 years. The rainforests of the Amazon are thought to hold the key to treating many ailments and common diseases, and for thousands of years the indigenous peoples of the Amazon region have known about the many health-enhancing benefits of the Acai berry.

The Acai berry grows wild on top of many palm trees that are native to the rainforests of Brazil and the Amazon basin. Local farmers in the area harvest the fruit of the tree, and it is used to make a healthful fruit pulp. This fruit pulp is then quickly frozen in order to preserve its nutrient value.

The Acai berry itself is a deep purple color, and it is quite rich in a number of important nutrients, including many of the most valuable antioxidant vitamins.

ENERGY, HEART HEALTH: The Acai berry will give you a high energy boost. It is also thought to have a significant impact on heart health, and on the health of the cardiovascular system. In particular, the Acai berry contains a very high concentration of compounds known as anthocyanins. These compounds are the same ones thought to be responsible for giving red wine its widely reported health benefits. However the Acai berry has 10 to 30 times more anthocyanins then does red wine.

LOWERS CHOLESTEROL LEVELS: In addition to these anthocyanins, Acai berries are known to contain large amounts of protein and fiber, as well as both omega-6, which lowers cholesterol levels and omega-9 fatty acids, which lowers LDL cholesterol levels and maintains natural HDL cholesterol levels. These omega fatty acids have been studied for years as a way to protect the heart from damage, and reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood, thereby providing possible protection from heart attacks, strokes and other common cardiovascular complications.

These anthocyanins are known to have significant health benefits, and they are the subjects of many studies. Many people are looking for ways to capture the many health benefits that have been associated with the consumption of red wine, but without the calories and other negative consequences of red wine consumption. The rich, delicious fruit of the acai berry may be able to provide these important health benefits.

ANTI-AGING: Perhaps the most important health benefit of the acai berry, however, is its strong impact on the aging process. As a matter of fact, the acai berry is generally acknowledged to be one of the top superfoods for anti-aging. The amino acids and vital trace minerals found in the Acai berry aid in proper muscle contraction and regeneration, thereby slowing damaging effects to the skin that cause signs of aging. The fatty acid found in the Acai berry is similar to that of olive oil and is high in monounsaturated oleic acid. This fatty acid combined with Omega 3 fish oils penetrates cell membranes and makes them suppler. This allows for hormones, neurotransmitters and Insulin Receptors to operate more efficiently, which greatly reduces inflammation, inflammation being one of the leading causes of Aging.

HIGH IN ANTIOXIDANTS, DESTROY CANCER CELLS: The antioxidant benefits of the acai berry, combined with the fatty acids it contains, make this one of the most important superfoods on the market. The Acai berry is thought to have an antioxidant content which is a full 10 times greater than that found in grapes, and twice as high as those found in blueberries. As a matter of fact, the acai berry is widely acknowledged to have the highest nutritional value of any fruit in the world, and this has earned it the acai berry the title of superfood. These antioxidants destroy cancer cells. A study done by the University of Florida and published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in January of 2006 did research that showed that the antioxidants in the Acai berry triggered a self-destruct response in 86% of the cultured Leukemia cancer cells tested.

Additional information: For such a tiny fruit, the Acai berry seems to have a great many heart healthy benefits, and the secret that has been part of Amazon culture for thousands of years is slowly spreading to the rest of the world. The Acai berry is a rich source of antioxidant vitamins, protein, fiber and heart protecting fatty acids, and it has an important role to play in protecting our good health.

Acai berries can be purchased whole and eaten as part of a healthy diet, but they are most often encountered in juice form. Acai berry juice is widely available both in health food stores and from many Internet retailers. As with other kinds of juice, it is important to ensure that the Acai berry juice you buy is made with 100% pure juice, and that it contains no artificial ingredients or added sugar.

As the popularity of the Acai berry continues to grow, and as its value to good health continues to get out, it is likely that this little purple fruit will become more widely available. In coming years, Acai berries are likely to be available at traditional grocery stores and supermarkets in addition to health food stores and Internet retailers.

When choosing between products made with the Acai berry, it is important to choose only the highest quality products, and to look for products that have been frozen quickly after harvest. How the Acai berries are handled after harvest can have a significant impact on their health benefits, so it is important to buy your Acai berry juice from those who use the best manufacturing methods.

One of the newly discovered berry “stars” of antioxidant plants is the acai (”ah-sigh-ee”) palm berry (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) that comes from the tropical regions of Central and South America.

The genus is named after the muse Euterpe of Greek mythology and the major plant family is Arecaceae. The vernacular name is sometimes called Assai Palm.

Acai is well-known in the exotic functional food industry as a rich tasting, darkly pigmented (deep blue-purple) fruit whose delicious juice is either consumed from bottles or combined with yogurt and other health foods to create smoothies.

Where do acai palms grow and what are the characteristics of the berries?

According to Wikipedia, acai is a genus of 25-30 palm species native to tropical Central and South America, from Belize to Brazil and Peru. It grows mainly along rivers, in floodplains and swamps. They are tall, slender, attractive palms that grow 15-30 m tall, with pinnate leaves up to 3 m long. The fruit is a small, round, black-purple berry similar in size to a grape. They are produced in branched clusters of 700-900 fruits that must be picked by hand. Though its appearance is similar to that of a grape, the acai has a smaller amount of pulp and a single large seed about 7–10 mm in diameter.

What is it about the acai that has caught the attention of consumers?

Besides its deep blue color and delectable taste (hinting of chocolate), the preliminary analysis of nutrient content shows acai as one of the tropic’s most nutritious fruits and certainly an exceptional source of antioxidant pigments.

What nutrients stand out in the acai berry?

Although the data has not been published or independently verified, the early research on acai shows it is rich in vitamins A, B and C, minerals (particularly iron and calcium), dietary fiber and proteins. It also contains an omega-3 fatty acid, a beta-sitosterol (a phytosterol that inhibits cholesterol formation in humans) and essential amino acids. Oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid found in virgin olive oil, is especially rich in the acai.

What about the antioxidant strength of acai?

A manufacturer of acai products states on its website that acai has three times the antioxidant strength of blueberries and eight times that of strawberries. The likely source of such unusual antioxidant power would come from the dark blue pigments found in acai berry skin – the large class of flavonoids called anthocyanins and particularly from two (cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside), which are the main pigments isolated from acai.

What does medical research say about the health properties of acai?

As a relatively new discovery, acai has appeared in the online database of the US National Library of Medicine—PubMed—only since 2004. Since then, just five reports are listed (June 2006).

Three studies analyzed the antioxidant properties of acai, showing its powerful effects against specific oxidizing agents like peroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite. One interesting finding was that the total antioxidant capacity of acai could be accounted in just 10% of the identified anthocyanins. This finding indicates that acai is loaded with other, yet unidentified, antioxidant phytochemicals.

In 2006, a study performed at the University of Florida showed that acai antioxidants could induce more rapid death (apoptosis) of leukemia cells in vitro. This preliminary research indicates a possible anti-cancer effect of anthocyanins and other pigments, as shown for North American dark berries like the blueberry and black raspberry.

With research beginning to show remarkable benefits of acai, why not introduce this tasty berry into your diet?

Recently, many people have ask what supplements am I familiar with, that not only promote good health, but also vitality and increase energy throughout the day. As a layman, I am not educated as a medical practitioner but do try to keep current with today’s trends and discoveries.

While managing my home based business, I come across thousands of new opportunities and products every day. Knowing the importance that besides financial security from building a home based business can provide, having the additional time to take care of one’s health is the second best benefit from the financial successes achieved working from home.

While sorting through the many programs, I stumbled across one product that really captured my attention immediately. The Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) berry has been around for hundreds of years, and was not introduced to western civilization until well into the 1990’s. It’s origin is the amazon rain forest and because of its incredible health benefits, has been used by the several of the indigenous tribes of the Amazon, including the Shuar Tribe to name one, for curing various ailments and as a medicine, for centuries.

The Acai berry has natural anti-oxidant properties and is a natural cholesterol controller. When ingested, it promotes good cholesterol in the blood stream and reduce the bad, also aiding the immune system, in fighting infection, protecting the heart, and controls prostate enlargement. It provided a great source as an energy food for the native tribes-people who would traditionally produce it to distill a chocolate tasting type of wine, rich in minerals.

It is harvested from a palm that has a long thin trunk which shoots up to 25 meters high, Acai berries hang from ribbon like branches that spout from the top. The harvesting of the berries is fastly growing to be one of the most sought after cash crop in Brazil.Each Acai tree produces approximately 20 kilograms, of fruit a year, becoming the second most important product in terms of finance after wood forest products.

Once available to the western world, researchers discovered the Acai berry to promote well being. It has a vibrant taste, with a hint of chocolate, rich in proteins, fibre, vitamin E minerals, and essential omega oils to reduce bad cholesterol. Fast becoming known as the miracle fruit, acai berries also helps in preventing cancers due to the antioxidant properties, and are five times more potent, than the commonly used herbal therapy product, Gingko biloba. Acai Berry is known to harness the following properties: Antioxidant, Antibacterial, Anti-Inflammatory, Antimutagenic, cardiovascular system.

Acai berries contain plant sterols including beta-sitosterol. Today, sterols are being used to treat associated benign prostate dyperplasmia. These plant sterols have also been shown to help control cholesterol as well as act as precursors to many important substances produced by the body. Acai Berries are also a remarkable concentration of Antioxidants to help combat premature aging. Acai Berry is a dense source of a particular class of flavonoids called anthocyanins. THE ORAC VALUE of Acai Berry is higher than any other known edible berry on the planet!

Acai also contains an amazingly high concentration level of Antioxidants which contribute to combat premature aging. The proanthocyanidin contents in Acai Berries are 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine per volume. Although the French have a high fat diet, they have a low incidence of cardio vascular disease compared to the western countries. They contribute this factor to their consumption of red wine. Acai Berries can help promote a healthier cardio vascular system and digestive tract, because it’s synergy of onounsaturated (these are the healthy fats), dietary fiber and phytosterols.

Dr. Nicholas Perricone, M.D., a recognized authority on anti-aging, in his book “The Perricone Promise” named the Acai berry as being the World’s #1 Superfood. He also called the Acai berry one of the most nutritious and powerful anti-aging foods in the world today.

In more recent history, this product has been endorsed by the world famous talk show host, Oprah Winfrey and has been featured on her show for its incredible properties and potential benefit to our society.

Though the wealth of nutritional benefits from acai are massive, there can be side effects if the product you buy is not good quality. When researching the quality of a product and its relevance to your health program, it is important to analyze the positives and the negatives. Side effects that are positive in small doses can be negative if to excess.

For example, acai is a mild stimulant, considered to be the energy berry of the Amazon. While this is great for improving energy and boosting metabolism, if it is taken in the wrong proportions, it can lead to sleeplessness or headaches.

The supplements in which acai is taken can be mixed with other substances that have a less desired effect. It is important to read all ingredient labels to be sure exactly which substances are in the product you are consuming. Allergies or other immune reactions can be a serious issue of products are unlabeled. Also, you might want some of the effects of acai, but not of some other substances in the supplement.

It is most important to understand the product you are consuming and all of its ingredients. For example, resveratrol is an excellent substance found in certain fruits that is highly linked with anti-aging. It is often combined with acai for powerful anti-aging effects in supplements. However, since it is mildly anti-biotic, it could cause milk diarrhea. Some acai supplement users complain of these mild symptoms. They can be combated with some simple probiotics, yogurt, or kefir milk, however.

Any side effects from acai are mild and far outweighed by the benefits this Amazon superfruit can offer you.
