I've been hearing a lot about this new diet fad involving the Acai Berry and since I had never really given it much thought decided to look into it.
Apparently this "super food" as it has been dubbed is popular in Brazil, but until recently not really anywhere else. With all of the media coverage from shows like "Oprah", "NBC" and "ABC" this super food has fast become super popular world wide.
What is all the fuss about? Well the media claims that "this is the best diet aid" in years. While Acai Berry does help to promote weight loss and can suppress your appetite, claims appear to be greatly exaggerated.
The truths are that it can help the following:
Promote weight loss
Boost energy & stamina
Support the immune system
Promote more restful sleep
Fight aging and inflammation
Protect against heart disease
Increase libido
Unless you live in Brazil, this little wonder fruit probably isn't available at your local grocer. If it were it would lack the nutritional beneftis as it is usually spoils within 24 hours of harvest.
If your just aching to give it a shot you can always try supplements, juice drinks, frozen berries as these methods can preserve the nutrients for greater lengths of time.
