Acai berry grows in the rainforests of Amazon. This small purple berry is considered powerful super food. It is regarded as “King of Fruits” because of its high nutritional content. It contains amino acids, healthy fatty acids, vitamins A, B and C, phytosterols and anti oxidants.

Earlier, very few people were aware of acai berry secrets, but these days due to the growing popularity of acai berry products, most secrets are now well known. Acai berry’s little secrets help you have healthy body. Here, I am going to reveal 3 lesser known secrets of acai berry:

The first secret is its effectiveness in reducing body fat at lightening speed. Health researchers say that acai berry can help you lose one pound a day. Acai berries burn the body fat and help the digestion process by boosting up the metabolism. They add muscle mass which causes the stored fat to burn. Even though, acai berries decrease the appetite, they provide enough energy and stamina. Acai supplements are completely natural and free from any harmful side effects. They do not need to undergo extensive processing. Only dry freezing is required. The second secret is that acai berries contain very high amounts of anti oxidants. It has an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) higher than other fruits and vegetables. ORAC is a measure of the antioxidant activity of the product. Anti oxidants help in slow down of ageing process. The darker the acai berry fruit, the more nutrients it contains. Anti oxidants, help in the producing new blood cells. The berries are also rich in fiber. The fiber promotes body metabolism, aids in digestion, and bowel movements. The third secret is that Acai berry supplements have the ability to cure various chronic ailments such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and arthrosclerosis. The anti oxidants present in acai berries help fight cancer cells. The detox acai berry supplements contain omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids, which help in getting rid of harmful toxins and cleansing the body. They help regulate the level of cholesterol in the blood. The supplements also help in reducing inflammation and help in the healing process after an injury.

An acai berry drink has 10 times more anti oxidants than a blueberry drink and is 30 times more energetic than a strawberry drink. Acai berry supplements can be taken in the form of juices, capsules and pills.

Dear Oprah, I am 14 years old. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease when I was 9. Usually, Crohn’s is inflammation in the intestines causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. However, I have disease in my bones, joints, trachea and bladder as well as in my intestines. There is no cure for Crohn’s and it significantly increases the chances of getting colon cancer. My 12 year old brother also has the disease. I have been on steroids many times to treat my disease. Last year, I was hospitalized twice and I missed a month of school. Instead of using steroids again, my doctor gave me the option of going on a liquid formula diet designed for people with Crohn’s. I did well for a while, but I am having difficulties transitioning back to food. The formula has been my only source of nutrition for most of the past year. My mission is to educate and spread awareness about inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) so that it can be better understood by children, teens and adults. I am very involved with the Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA). I am the Youth Ambassador for the CCFA. Once people understand what the disease involves, the public will be more willing to help. Some of the things I have done to accomplish my mission include the following: • I lobbied and testified before a Senate subcommittee to pass the Restroom Access Act in Minnesota. (It was made a law in August 2007) • I have lobbied in DC to increase funding for IBD research. • I have shared my story at numerous CCFA …

I was researching the benefits of human consumption of acai and they mentioned theobromine, also found on chocolate. so don’t let your dog eat it if you have it! just a heads up.
But for humans, knock yourself out!
Toy Fox Terrier: Yeah, I personally don’t like acai. It tastes like a blueberry with a coating of milk chocolate. So I have to mix it with lemonade if I want to get it down my throat. Yeah, maybe thats why they taste a bit like chocolate, because of the theobromine. I don’t know LOL

I actually tried this juice about 6 months ago, after the dealer mistakenly gave me a case (6 one liter bottles) for only $35. I gave some to my friend and kept the rest. Unfortunately, after drinking only 2 teaspoons of the juice, I experienced a rush to my head — kind of like tension — but not something that was normal — this happened every time I drank the juice. It’s this weird feeling that doesn’t go away until about 15 min. later, however I just felt like this wasn’t supposed to happen. I asked my friend if she felt the same way when she drank the juice and she told me no. Is there anyone out there who has had the same experience? And if there is a medical professional reading this, could you perhaps explain what could be happening when I drink this juice? Thanks.

I have fruit smoothies most every morning for breakfast and sometimes add acai berry juice but it seems to give me horrible headaches. Is anyone else experiencing this effect?
