			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many natural health professionals consider detoxification to be the single most powerful tool in the way you look and feel. In this article I&#8217;m going to explain how detoxification works and how to create a program that is safe and effective.<br />
A detox is a full and thorough cleansing program that is designed to remove built up toxins inside your body to make you look and feel younger in the outside.<br />
You might not know it but there are likely many toxins inside your body that cause you to look and feel older.<br />
Many of these common illnesses that people suffer from on a daily basis can be avoided and removed if you take time and effort to detoxify your body.<br />
One of the biggest problems that people have with a body detox system is that they are unable to beat the crazing that come with giving up certain foods and substances.<br />
Once they get a couple days into it, they may have terrible cravings, moodiness, headaches, stomach aches, and other symptoms that make them want to go back to the things they gave up.<br />
You should think of it in the same way as someone who is quitting smoking or drugs or alcohol. Their body might actually make them feel sick when they first quit as they have that dependence still. However, as they adjust to it, the body will be much healthier without the drug than it was before.<br />
So, if you just stick it out with the detox and avoid giving in to the cravings, you will look and feel much younger once it has all passed.<br />
I understand that is one of those pieces of advice that is much easier said than done, so let me suggest a few ways how you can battle the cravings that you&#8217;re experiencing during the detox?<br />
1. Avoid places that have the thing you crave.<br />
2. Avoid watching television shows or reading books and magazines that have the foods you are craving.<br />
3. Drink a lot of water and fruit juice.<br />
4. Call a supportive friend if you feel urges coming on strong.<br />
5. Write in a journal or diary.<br />
6. Find a new hobby or past time to help ease the cravings.<br />
7. Go exercise or go for a walk or jog when your cravings come on strong.<br />
8. Practice breathing exercises.<br />
These are not a cure-all for your problems with cravings but they are great strategies to try while you&#8217;re on a detox program.<br />
With so many different body detox programs out there, it can be hard to know which one will work best for you. The good news it that with that many options, you can choose a body detox program that is especially for you.<br />
There are many different systems and programs out there already. There are some that come with pre-made plans, pills, and more for you. There are others that might come as a pre-packed juice or drink of some kind.<br />
Others may involve you making your own drinks or liquid foods or water fasting and other caloric restriction diets.<br />
Some detox programs last for 24 hours to 3 days, others may be as long as 10 days to 2 weeks. Usually the longer ones are more &#8216;total body&#8217; and involve many different steps aside from just what you eat or drink.<br />
You can create your own customized detox program that you can do at home. When you customize your own type, you can get only want you need and want and what you feel works best for you.<br />
Here&#8217;re some suggested detox programs you might want to consider:<br />
Level I<br />
Follow a properly planned nourishing diet. This will help your body recuperate ad heal. This is a type of gently detoxification process that strengthens and supports digestion so that it can assimilate nutrients more efficiently. It also involves avoiding foods such as wheat and dairy products.<br />
To do this, simply substitute bad foods with healthy alternatives.<br />
For example replace wheat and rye products with rice, quinoa, millet, saga, amaranth, and buckwheat.<br />
Replace cow&#8217;s milk and products with rice milk, almost milk, oat milk, goat milk, soy milk, products made with goat milk.<br />
Replace coffee and tea with chicory or dandelion root coffee, herbal, or green tea.<br />
Replace salt with seaweed and herbal salt substitutes. Use fresh herbs and spices instead of salt to give blend foods flavor.<br />
Replace sugar with small quantities of carob, pure organic honey, dates, and maple syrup.<br />
Level II<br />
This detox program is helping the body to  &#8220;let go&#8221;. The main focus is detoxing the colon, which benefits the digestive tract and also helping the skin and lungs discharge their toxins.<br />
At this level add fiber-rich foods including brown rice, millet, and quinoa grain.<br />
Eat plenty of vegetables at Level II. They contain a high proportion of water and are also mostly alkaline. To function healthier, the body&#8217;s chemical balance needs to be slightly more alkaline than acid. Vegetables help to counteract the effects of the many high-acid foods, such as meats or dairy products.<br />
Level III detox program is aimed at a deep organ detoxification.<br />
Eating the right foods can help phase III to eliminate toxins from liver and kidneys.<br />
Include variety of phytonutrients-rich foods in your diet during the level III detox program. Vegetables such as broccoli, lemons, red grapes, garlic, soy, rosemary and turmeric aid detoxification and protect the body.<br />
Increase your intake of antioxidant supplements and antioxidant-rich super foods.<br />
- Tomatoes<br />
- Watercress<br />
- Carrots<br />
- Peppers<br />
- Beets<br />
- And berries<br />
Make sure that during each level of the detox program you stay highly hydrated.<br />
These detox programs will leave you looking and feeling young with increased energy and zest for life. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a huge debate going on right now whether acai berry is effective for weight loss or not. Recently, this fruit has gained wide popularity around the globe for its great healthy benefits. The Acai Berry gained more popularity than any other fruit because of its high levels of antioxidants and anthocyanins. It was also voted by Oprah to be the world&#8217;s number 1 super food, which increased its popularity even more. </p>
<p>The acai berry is being studied by many different people in many different universities and they all claim that the acai berry has a lot of minerals, vitamins and fatty acids that are necessary for the human body. </p>
<p>So the health benefits that the acai berry provides are indeed a fact. The acai berry does NOT do any miracles. For example: If you eating and drinking acai berry products, don&#8217;t except that you are going to lose weight in an instant. It HELPS, but you have to give it some time and keep a healthy diet. </p>
<p>We all know that berries such as the cranberry and blueberry contain good vitamins and minerals , so what makes the Acai Berry even better? </p>
<p>Products with acai berries gives more benefits that most fruit supplements do. Acai berry products are known to contain lots of antioxidants and anthocyanins(much more than other fruits). </p>
<p>Antioxidants are an important part in our diets because they can absorb free radicals. We get free radicals from the food that we don&#8217;t digest properly, and by stress due to regular physical activities. Blueberries used to be the wonder fruit when it comes to antioxidants, but studies have shown that acai berry products contain twice the amount of antioxidants found in blueberries. </p>
<p>Anthocyanins are known to lower bad cholesterol levels that we acquire by eating fatty foods and not maintaing a healthy diet. The good thing about acai berry products is that they have ten times the amount of anthocyanins that are found in red grapes and red wine(that is a great potential). With Acai berry you get to eliminate fat more effectively than if you were to drink red wine and you won&#8217;t suffer from alcohol side effects. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anti-aging is a bit of a misnomer and I&#8217;ve yet to meet anyone who has turned back the hands of time. However, as we age our skin becomes depleted of nourishment and hydration which leads to pre-mature skin aging. Antiaging skin care are formulated to renew and reclaim our youthful appearance. </p>
<p>Through a combination of hydration, protection with antioxidants, and anti wrinkle creams, lotions and moisturizers, those of us in the baby-boomer stage of life can add years to aging or damaged skin. </p>
<p>Antiaging skin care begins with several fundamentals we should all follow together with the use of effective skin care. Diet, fitness and health, together with maintaining proper hydration for healthy cell membranes and a bit of scientific &#8220;know-how&#8221;, allows us to look years younger, slow or halt pre-mature aging, improve suppleness and smoothness, and somewhat &#8220;turn back the hands of time&#8221;. </p>
<p>Keeping Your Skin Clean </p>
<p>As simple as this may sound, many skin problems result from lack of proper cleansing. Clogged pores can cause skin rashes, rosacea, blackheads and whiteheads, and prevent the proper irrigation of pores. Dermal layers require adequate moisture and circulation; and nutrition can be hampered without proper cleansing. </p>
<p>As part of a daily skin care regimen, using a facial cleanser in the morning and at night before bed is recommended. Avoid cleansers with harsh surfactants that may irritate the skin &#8211; this only worsens the problem and my offset gains from products formulated to treat or protect. </p>
<p>Oily or dry skin may need special attention, but a good, deep cleaning, removing makeup and pat drying are the first best steps towards protecting your skin from aging quicker than you would like. </p>
<p>Hydrating Your Skin </p>
<p>You have probably heard by now that our bodies are made-up in large part of water. Water is the primary component of skin cells, so it holds true that proper hydration is important. Moisture content directly effects healthy cell maturation and development, while improving circulation and delivery of nutrients. </p>
<p>Maintaining adequate levels of bodily fluids is a must. As the doctor says, drink plenty of fluids and avoid liquids high in caffeine and sugar. Caffeine is a diuretic that acts to deplete fluids and sugar is known to increase metabolism, both flushing nutrients and reducing fluid levels. It goes without saying diet and regular exercise and stopping smoking (if you do) are hugely helpful. </p>
<p>Anti-Aging Skin Care </p>
<p>Though anti aging covers a broad topic, to keep the conversation succinct and to focus on the most effective products, anti aging skin care can be categorized into a relatively small group: </p>
<p>  </p>
<p>Granted this is not an all encompassing list, but it covers many of the skin care issues we face as we age. Skin care is fundamentally developed to address symptoms, but effective products can remedy the causes as well. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at antiaging skin care and how it can help in our anti aging &#8220;quest&#8221;. </p>
<p>Wrinkle treatment comes primarily in the form of wrinkle creams formulated to reduce the density and depth of wrinkles. Many provide added hydration that acts to reinforce and provide nutrients to cell membranes &#8211; improving the skin&#8217;s health, while improving healthy cell rejuvenation. </p>
<p>Argireline and Matrixyl are two of the most commonly used active ingredients. These peptide compounds act similar to BOTOX in that they relax facial tissue &#8211; smoothing wrinkled skin and eliminating fine lines. Many are somewhat temporary in nature, though consistent use will aid to further prevent wrinkles. </p>
<p>Common in anti wrinkle eye and face cream, Argireline and Matrixyl are also effective for use on the neck (where my wrinkles started) and on the chest. Hyaluronic Acid is also useful in wrinkle treatment. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. It helps cells retain moisture and acts to plump and smooth. Used as an active ingredient in wrinkle creams, it has a cumulative effect in relaxing and smoothing wrinkles. </p>
<p>Antioxidants skin care should not be overlooked. Free-radicals produced from naturally occurring oxidization destroy cells &#8211; and are especially fond of skin cells. Antioxidants are common in many fruits and vegetables &#8211; in particular, Green Tea, Idebenone and coffee. </p>
<p>All three have found themselves as popular ingredients in anti aging skin care. Green Tea in particular is promoted in consumables (tea), moisturizers, and topical serum applications. Free-radicals, in a nut shell, lead to pre-mature skin aging and can be accelerated if you smoke or are over exposed to the sun. Using an antioxidant as part of your anti aging program is a great step in the right direction. </p>
<p>I turned 50 last year&#8230;mmm&#8230;I still feel 30, but I&#8217;ve started noticing some things on my skin that I only linked to my grandmother &#8211; age spots. As we age melanin pigment in our skin loses its ability to protect from sun damage, thus dark, brown or age spots appear. </p>
<p>Bleaching or skin whitening creams can be effective reducing the appearance of age spots, but should be used with care. Many whitening agents make skin sensitive &#8211; and sensitive to the sun. Also, use should be confined to the age spots themselves, unless used in light(er) formulations for overall skin lightening. </p>
<p>Dry skin is the hidden villain of aging. As we age our skin naturally loses moisture, the ability to retain hydration, and this leads to amplifying other skin problems such as, wrinkles, rashes, and psoriasis. </p>
<p>Using a night cream that moisturizes is the best advice. Avoid the sun, drink plenty of fluids, and attempt to eat fruits and raw vegetables if possible. As mentioned, many products utilize Hyaluronic Acid to aid moisture retention. Often found in face applications, it is also used successfully in body lotions and creams. </p>
<p>In the past couple of years, Emu Oil has also become a favorite in anti aging skin care. Emu Oil is known to penetrate into the dermis and subcutaneous skin layers and is super-moisturizer. It also has anti-inflammatory properties as well as being an antibacterial. It has carrier benefits allowing it to &#8220;carry&#8221; other anti aging ingredients deeper into the skin &#8211; improving their effectiveness. Like Hyaluronic Acid, it can be found in body lotions and creams for the eyes and face. </p>
<p>Enlarged pores create havoc on the face. A result of heredity, clogged pores, or excessive oils, enlarged pores accumulated dirt, oil and dead skin cells. Often they lead to rough skin, bacterial infections, blemishes, swelling and irritation, inflammation, or acne and rosacea. </p>
<p>Daily and effective cleansing usually helps reduce pore size and irrigates bacteria-laden pores. Light use of makeup or using mineral makeup that does not irritate the skin and cause inflammation is recommended. </p>
<p>Many skin care products use either Emu oil or Alpha Hydroxy crystals to clean bacteria and reduce pore size. Both are effective active ingredients and when used in concert, help clean and clear your complexion and make skin pores smaller. </p>
<p>Ah&#8230;if you&#8217;re still with me, there are just a few items to cover &#8211; but, they are the top-three on the countdown list. Let&#8217;s start by discussing body firming lotions. Again, I know you&#8217;re tired of hearing this, as we age our skin loses elasticity and elastin fiber production drops. So?&#8230;well, this causes loose skin. </p>
<p>Outside the more obvious causes of lack of exercise and diet, collagen production and elastin development diminishes. Combined with depleted hydration, you get a one-two punch for loose and sagging skin. To get skin tight, body firming lotions use a complex of ingredients that firm and tighten skin, improve hydration, and nourish for optimal cell reproduction. </p>
<p>Many body firming lotions use Collagen III, Emu Oil, a firming peptide complex, and nutrients and amino acids that act together to firm sagging skin. Particularly useful on the arms, stomach, neck, and legs, these lotions tighten skin while adding moisture. </p>
<p>Spider veins are generally the result of several common occurrences &#8211; weight gain, pregnancy, having work responsibilities that require you to be on your feet a lot, or often from sun exposure &#8211; especially facial spider veins. </p>
<p>Considered a result of damaged or weak veins and capillaries, spider veins occur when damaged valves allow blood flow to get in, but not get out. Weight gain and gravity complicate the problem and in some respects may contribute to the problem. Anti aging skin care focuses on two results. </p>
<p>One, healing or strengthening the vessel walls. There are several active ingredients considered useful in helping the vessels and restoring healthy walls, but Vitamin k is consider the most effective currently. Two, you can cover them up. Repairing spider veins usually requires a spider veins cream or a spider veins treatment. </p>
<p>In fact, I had several facial spider veins removed from below my eyes and at the top of my nose with laser treatment &#8211; the result of too many days in the Florida sun growing up, per my dermatologist. But, I have had great success using a cream enriched with Vitamin K and have experienced measurable and noticeable clearing since use. </p>
<p>But, back to covering them up. Many folks have begun using spray-on pantyhose (men and women) to add some tint and color to their legs as the warmer seasons approach. Many spray-ons are formulated to not run when wet or to give you a weird coloring. Often available in a variety of shades, they can be chosen to give you a hint of color that matches your body without being noticeable. </p>
<p>Finally, whew, stretch marks. Though not necessarily at the top of the anti aging list, they are a common problem that folks like to address, especially as they age and become more &#8220;aware&#8221; of their bodies or pass through the child-bearing age. </p>
<p>Stretch marks are often result from childbirth, pregnancy, weight loss and gain, and are common among body builders. Simply, stretch marks are just that, marks created when the skin stretches faster that the skin can keep-up. Elastin and collagen are not able to reproduce quickly enough to counteract the stretching and the result is scarred and torn tissue. </p>
<p>Underlying the obvious, stretch marks core issue is elasticity and hydration. There&#8217;s that word again. True, though. If you are experiencing weight gain or are pregnant, using a stretch mark cream developed to add moisture and hydration has been shown to significantly reduce or even prevent stretch marks. If you already have them, as the title of this article suggests, there are several options. </p>
<p>Again, a stretch marks and scar creams help increase collagen and elastin fiber production. If used with ingredients that stimulate healthy cell reproduction, consistent, disciplined use can often marks and scars. </p>
<p>An alternative is to use an in-home, soft light laser. Low-level lasers emit light waves in oscillations that have been shown to stimulate cell growth and increase circulation. Used for many applications such as scars, burns, sores, and blemishes, low level &#8220;soft light&#8221; lasers have been shown effective. </p>
<p>Anti aging is a goal we all have and can be effectively dealt with using anti aging skin care.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People have been drinking green tea for health promotion for well over 4,000 years. Medical research has confirmed what the Chinese have been saying for centuries: that green tea contains special health preserving and revitalizing power. It can speed up metabolism, keep your hunger pangs at bay, and keep you feeling refreshed all day long. </p>
<p>If we already know about this super drink, then why are the sales of soft drinks and Starbucks continuing to rise? My guess is that green tea is not one of the buttons people can choose from on a vending machine. We want convenience, but then we complain that we are getting fat and sick. Here&#8217;s the answer, plain and simple. Stop the insanity and start drinking the tea! </p>
<p>Green tea contains more powerful antioxidants than any other product on the market. Even Raisinets! (I say that because it is amazing how the makers of candy try to insult our intelligence by boasting health properties on their packages!) At any rate, antioxidants prevent free radicals from harming our bodies. This is important for our overall health and well-being. </p>
<p>Caffeine is a stimulant that is present in green tea in much smaller amounts than in black tea or coffee. In small amounts, it can be an excellent energy enhancer, but it is best to limit one&#8217;s intake, as excess caffeine consumption is unhealthy. Have you ever drank so much coffee that you get the jitters? That is not a good sign. You will not get that feeling from green tea, no matter how often you drink it. Too much is never a problem. </p>
<p>Not to get too hung up on ingredients, let us take a look at the health benefits of drinking green tea. It is a good thing to be aware of what a beverage is made of, but you do not want to spend all of your time analyzing instead of drinking. No one ever asks for the ingredients of a Big Mac, but people gobble them up knowing it is unhealthy. You already know green tea is healthy, so focus on that instead of what is it made of. </p>
<p>HEALTH BENEFITS #1: WEIGHT LOSSGreen tea extract increases metabolism, reduces cravings and aids in weight loss. Green tea may safely increase daytime metabolism as much as 30-40% and increase energy production, as well as a significant fat burning effect. If you have been struggling to lose weight, this should be enough to make you want to start drinking green tea today! </p>
<p>HEALTH BENEFITS #2: ANTI-STRESSL-Theanine is a natural relaxant and is an amino acid found in green tea. It produces tranquilizing effects in the brain, which diminishes stress, worry, and anxiety. It also allows the brain to focus and concentrate better. You will not get a drowsy or groggy feeling either. It simply calms you by helping to increase electrical brain activity commonly present when you are relaxed. </p>
<p>HEALTH BENEFITS #3: BALANCES CHOLESTEROLGreen tea lowers the bad LDL cholesterol while increasing the good HDL cholesterol. It also reduces blood pressure, reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes and acts as a blood thinner. In a recent study, green tea extract prevented cancer of the breast, lung, liver, prostate, skin, esophagus and colon in animals. Drinking two or more cups of green tea a day may reduced the risk of breast cancer by 50 percent and the overall risk of all cancers by ten percent. </p>
<p>HEALTH BENEFITS #4: LONGEVITY &amp; ANTI-AGINGThose who drink green tea often demonstrate a lower mortality rate than those who do not drink it. Why? One reason could be that green tea stimulates the immune system. </p>
<p>HEALTH BENEFITS #5: BONE HEALTHThe regular consumption of green tea can both reduced risk of osteoporosis while reversing pre-existent bone degeneration. </p>
<p>HEALTH BENEFITS #6: ORAL and INTESTINAL HEALTHDrinking green tea protects teeth and gums from disease and kills oral bacteria that cause cavities and bad breath. The polyphenols in green tea even promote the growth of friendly bifidobacteria in the intestine, improves digestion and prevents gastritis and stomach cancer. </p>
<p>I am sure there are probably even more health benefits associated with drinking green tea, but you get the idea that it is more than good for you. Before I became a green tea drinker, I had chronic asthma and allergies, low energy and I was 70 pounds overweight. Green tea did not cure everything, but it is one of the main reasons I am now medication free and no longer overweight. </p>
<p>If you are suffering from any of the problems I had, or any listed above, start drinking green tea. You will be amazed at how much better you feel, both mentally and physically. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Show me a single human being that isn&#8217;t interested in health related nutrition, preventing diseases and slowing the aging process – if you are that single person, this article is of no interest to you, sorry. </p>
<p>You are still reading..well, aren&#8217;t we all..? </p>
<p>Fruits, vegetables, red meat, fish, red wine etc. – what should we eat, when and how much ? What vitamins, minerals, and trace elements should we add to our diet? And the questions just keep on piling-up… </p>
<p>Where are the answers? Is there a new discovery not known to all of us? THERE IS – Antioxidants. </p>
<p>You&#8217;re right it is not a fruit, nor is it a vegetable however, scientific studies revealed that this is, by far, the most important substance we should all be looking for in our food, and the higher the antioxidant level, the better. </p>
<p>What is an Antioxidant? </p>
<p>Antioxidants are substances that protect cells from the damages caused by unstable molecules known as Free Radicals. Free radical damages lead to cancer as well as rapid aging. Antioxidants interact with and stabilize free radicals, thus preventing the damages. The National Cancer Institute wrote &#8220;…considerable laboratory evidence from chemical, cell culture, and animal studies indicates that antioxidants slow or possibly prevent the development of cancer…&#8221; </p>
<p>How and Why? </p>
<p>Free radicals are molecules with incomplete electron shells which make them more chemically reactive than those with complete electron shells. Exposure to various environmental factors (we are all exposed to all of them!) leads to free radical formation. In humans, the most common form of free radicals is Oxygen. When an Oxygen molecule (O2) becomes electrically charged or &#8220;radicalized&#8221;, it tries to steal electrons from other molecules, causing damage to the DNA and other molecules. Over time, such damage, if not taken care of, become irreversible and leads to cancer and speedy aging. Antioxidants are often described as &#8220;mopping up&#8221; free radicals, meaning, they neutralize the electrical charge and prevent the free radicals from taking electrons from other molecules. </p>
<p>O.k., now that we know what&#8217;s the most important substance for our Health, Wellness and Longevity, let us examine what&#8217;s out there for us to consume.. </p>
<p>The scientists at the National Institute on Aging, NIH, Maryland, came up with a method to let us know who has the best available Antioxidants (by &#8220;who&#8221;, I mean which food..). This method is called ORAC – Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. </p>
<p>There is ONE STAR that is way-up in the ORAC test. It was not known to the western world until recently. This STAR is 10 times stronger than anything we knew !!!  You surely wonder what this ORAC STAR is, well, a little bit of patience… </p>
<p>We are told to consume 5-7 fruit &amp; vegetable servings every single day (ha ha..), drink a glass of red wine every single day (a good idea but, how on earth ??) and so on and on and on..come on, get realistic – we are all so busy that we hardly find the time to eat properly! </p>
<p>Would someone PLEASE get us a SINGLE (or max 2) FOOD Product that when consumed, will provide our body with all (or most) of what&#8217;s needed ? PLEASE!? </p>
<p>Guess what ? – ACAI !!! </p>
<p>This strange word is A SINGLE Fruit&#8217;s name. Here&#8217;s what this magic fruit includes: </p>
<p>A M A Z I N G!!! </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a SINGLE FOOD ITEM, ACAI, that is, literally, a &#8220;LIFE IN A BOTTLE&#8221; ! </p>
<p>Where can we get it? </p>
<p>Well, we could climb 90ft high palm trees in the Amazon rainforest (that&#8217;s the only place on earth the ACAI grows) or, we could buy variations which are available on the market place. There are  a few ACAI products (or, so-called..Acai products) out there which one can choose from. I investigated almost all of them (and they are not cheap but, can you put a price tag on your health..?). </p>
<p>To my humble opinion (well, not only mine, read the P.S.) there is only 1 Acai product that enables us to get the majority of the outstanding content. The reason being is the manufacturing process. This manufacturer uses a combination of Acai pulp and freeze-dried powder in its scientifically formulated blends. This fruit drying method (which, by the way, is patented), retains all the natural goodness of the fresh ACAI – A TRUE BLESSING TO ALL OF US! </p>
<p>This article has been written for your general knowledge, and has no intention of selling you anything..If you are genuinely interested in exploring the essence of this magical fruit, you will have to email me (you may find my email in the resource box – no spam!). </p>
<p>Working for Your Health, </p>
<p>David Smith </p>
<p>P.S. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what Dr. Alex Schass, the World&#8217;s leading </p>
<p>independent researcher, said about the benefits of </p>
<p>this drink on OPRAH&#8217;s : </p>
<p>ACAI </p>
<p>Nature&#8217;s Energy Fruit </p>
<p>It may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you’ve likely never even heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. </p>
<p>Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, Acai tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature&#8217;s perfect energy fruit. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Although Acai may not be available in your local supermarket, you can find it in several health food and gourmet stores (often in juice form). A new product featuring the unsweetened pulp is now also available, and I highly recommend that you choose this form of Acai. </p>
<p>Acai pulp contains: </p>
<p>* A remarkable concentration of antioxidants that help combat premature aging, with 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine. </p>
<p>* A synergy of monounsaturated (healthy) fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols to help promote cardiovascular and digestive health. </p>
<p>* An almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration. </p>
<p>The fatty acid content in Acai resembles that of olive oil, and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid is important for a number of reasons. It helps omega-3 fish oils penetrate the cell membrane; together they help make cell membranes more supple. By keeping the cell membrane supple, all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors function more efficiently. This is particularly important because high insulin levels create an inflammatory state, and we know, inflammation causes aging. </p>
