In alternative health, a?a? is all the rage. While relatively new to the American consciousness, a?a? has been around for centuries and has helped many people with its healthful qualities. In order to benefit completely from a?a?, however, one must truly understand what it is and what it does.

Ft Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) August 21, 2008 — Published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the study showed extracts from acai (ah-SAH’-ee) berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested, said Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. A?a? is a distinct purple berry indigenous to the Amazon rainforest. The a?a? fruit may be found in some of the large palm trees that grow in the thick forest; these trees can reach as high as 82 feet! Unlike cherries, which grow individually in trees, the a?a? berry grows in bunches, more like bananas. On average, each palm tree can yield anywhere from three to eight bunches.

You might say a?a? is fast becoming known as a wonder food for its versatility. A?a? has nutrient properties and is naturally rich in:

  • Omega fats (the good kind, unlike the saturated fats found in fast food)
  • amino acids
  • electrolytes
  • antioxidants
  • protein
  • vitamins A, B1 and E

The people of the Amazon rainforest use a?a? in many different dishes - from drinks and shakes to breakfasts and bars. Brazilians use a?a? to flavor meat and fish entrees, too, topping dishes with a pulpy, curd-like substance made from the fruit.

Not only does a?a? provide a delicious taste to complement food, it is known around the Amazon for amazing health benefits. A?a? is known to be used for treatment of digestive problems, skin irritation, sexual dysfunction, and even insomnia. The a?a? berry is naturally low in sugar, too.

Only in recent years have people in North America discovered how a?a? makes them feel energetic and healthy. Take a trip to your favorite smoothie place and you might find a?a? as one of the add-in ingredients available to you. Not only are consumers finding the benefits of a?a? to their interest, but researchers and the media are amazed by the power of this small berry. NBC’s Today did a feature story on a?a? in 2004, and more recently researchers at the University of Florida tested the attributes of a?a? to discover it actually destroyed cultured leukemia cells.

Will a?a? cure cancer?

We can’t say for certain. All we know is that a?a? possesses some very strong health properties that may benefit people in the long run.

Can you eat the berries that make a?a? directly?

Strangely enough, no. It is not recommended that one just pluck the berries from the tree and start snacking. The berries are harvested and processed, and the a?a? is extracted from the pulp of the berry and sold in stores all over South America. It is said that beverages containing a?a? are more popular than milk in the southern hemisphere. That’s because South Americans know they are getting a pure, healthy drink that benefits their alertness and well-being, and it gets them through the day.

Where do you get a?a??

Enter a?a? into Internet search and you are bound to find hundreds of online shops selling a?a? in various forms - drinks, powders, and capsules. This wonder supplement is in very high demand, but when you shop for a?a? it is important to know whether or not you are getting the purest extracts of a?a? available, directly from the Amazon Rainforest. Check the labels!

Does a?a? cause any side effects?

Current research indicates no known side effects to taking a?a? in any form. Though a?a? has been around for ages, it is still quite new to the United States, and no doubt is still being observed by health professionals. However, the testimony of the overall health of the Amazonian people speaks well for this little fruit with big potential. As an online store http://www.DrinkAcaiJuice.com has met a demand by offering often hard to find exceptional, natural Amazon products for children and parents.
