The Acai berry is found in the Amazonian rainforests, and as well as tasting delightful, it is extremely good for you – so in this case you really can have your cake and eat it.

In one of the many clinical health tests this fruit has been subjected to, it was discovered that the powerful benefits of acai are partly due to the fact that it is reported to have more anti-oxidants than any other food ever tested. I think that’s pretty impressive.

You’re no doubt well aware that antioxidants have many health benefits including helping us battle against cancer, reducing the signs of aging, and boosting your heart health and circulation.

The acai berry is also very good at helping to reduce cholesterol levels, and increasing the amount of vitamins your body can absorb from the food you eat. So it acts like a turbo charger by adding extra benefits to what you’re already eating.

Unfortunately the berry itself doesn’t travel very well, so the most popular forms of acai are either fruit juices or health supplements.
