Warning:
Before you buy an Acai Berry Weightloss product read this page!
More than 80% of the acai berry is made up of plant derived
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, the healthy
fats, which are needed for essential metabolic functions. A
one ounce serving is 15 calories, 2 grams dietary fiber, 1 gram
of protien and 3 grams total sugars. The ultimate health food.
Dr Perricone
stated in his 2005 book " The Perricone Weight-loss
Diet":
"Because
of thr excellent fatty acid, amino acid, and anti-inflammatory
profile, Acai deserves star billing. One of the qualities I
love about Acai is that it provides us quality protein, healthy
fat, and powerful antioxidants, all in one amazing berry."
(pp. 58-59)
It is also
Dr. Perricone's opinion that Acai allows "all hormones,
neurotransmitters, and insulin receptors to function more efficiently;
critically important to maintain homeostasis, that is, keeping
the body working as it should because all of its systems are
in balance." (p 59) It
is Dr. Perricone's belief that only when this balance happens
can someone lose weight or keep from gaining additional unwanted
weight.
"Acai
is good for weight loss because it contains cyanidin"
Dr. Perricone
continues "Acai is good for weight loss because it
contains cyanidin, a highly antioxidant phytochemical compond."
This claim is based on a Japanese research report that found
evidence that cyanins work by reducing fat asorption and "draining
body fat". (p 59)
Dr. Alexander
Schauss states in his book "Acai, An Extraordinary Antioxidant-Rich
Palm Fruit";
"In
2006, we reported that freeze-dried Acai's lipophilic oxygen
radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) is the highest of any berry
ever tested. This property means that Acai has the potential
to inhibit lipid oxidation and thereby reduce the risk of cholesterol
being oxidized.
Although
this assumption is based on in vitro research ( done in the
lab, not in the body), by the end of 2007, we have already reported
to an international symposium on the health effects of fruits
and vegetables, that in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled,
cross-over study of healthy adults 10 to 52, a beverage containing
as its predominant ingredient Acai, did significantly inhibit
the oxidation of lipids, based on the gold standard thiobarbituric
acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay. We also found that this
beverage was able to significantly increase antioxidant activity
in serum during oxidative stress based on the reactive oxygen
stress in red blood cells (ROS RBC) assay, which measures the
ability of antioxidants in Acai to enter into living cells and
protect them from damage."
(p53)
"Acai
fruit is a superb source of giving your body it's daily requirements
of nutrients"
The important
information this gives us is that the Acai fruit is a superb
source of giving your body it's daily requirement of nutrients.
One question that often comes up is how much to take?
If you are
taking Acai Berry Juice for general healthy living, 1 to 2 ounces
a day.
If you are
trying to lose weight and want to use Acai Berry Juice to help
you get your body in balance, 2 to 4 ounces a day depending
on your size and your diet, if you've been eating a lot of processed
foods then drink more. Remember this is not what is going to
make you lose weight. It is going to put your body in a better
physiological condition for you to burn more calories then you
consume. You want to get your body to that point where you are
"in balance".
