Acai Side Effects?


There are very few reported cases of Acai Berry side effects. Undesirable side effects are uncommon with Acai Berries because they are a natural fruit that come from the earth. It is possible however, that certain side-effects could be caused as a result of the manufacturing process that these berries go through when turned into other products, such as pills or juices.

Acai Berries are known to cause a decrease in appetite amongst those who consume the fruit. This is actually a favorable condition for those who are trying to shed some excess waste. By eating Acai Berry you’ll find yourself less hungry and this will also help reduce craving for food that isn’t very good for you! Acai Berries are also noted to encourage natural weight-loss in some users, however the scientific research is still inconclusive at this stage.

Acai Berries can also lead to an increase in energy levels. This can be a blessing in disguise though! If you do consume Acai Berries, try to do it in the morning or during lunch, and not before you go to sleep. Eating Acai Berries can be like drinking coffee, so try to avoid it before you go to sleep.

Just like any other therapeutic product, it is important that you check with your doctor or health care professional, whether or not Acai Berry supplement is right for you.

Acai berry can also improve your body functions. It can aide in better digestion and improved blood flow. You can also achieve a healthier heart. Since Acai Berries are rich in vitamins, minerals and all important antioxidants, you would gain complete nutritional value that can allow you to have a healthier body.

Dr Oz, Acai Berry and You.


There is a lot of buzz surrounding the Acai berry at the moment. Many people have started to use Acai Berry products thanks to their high antioxidant count. But how exactly do these antioxidants benefit you?

For those unfamiliar with Acai berries, they are a small purple fruit that come from the Acai Palm of Brazil. Natives have been enjoying the benefits of Acai products for centuries, often using them for medicinal purposes.

The Acai berry gained tremendous exposure in the media after Dr Oz demonstrated its benefits using a piece of apple on the Oprah Winfrey show. He used two pieces of cut apple to show how free radicals can destroy our cells and organs. On one side of the apple, he applied some lemon juice which contains antioxidants similar to those found in Acai berries.

Over a short period of time, the apple without lemon juice began to brown and shrivel. However, the one with the lemon juice still looked like new. Dr. Oz continued on to show how Acai and its powerful antioxidants can help to protect our bodies in the same way so that our eyes, heart, skin, and other key organs don't age prematurely.

Dr. Oz is pretty eccentric and likes to show and talk about all kinds of topics that intrigue audience and television viewers around the world. In the case of Acai berries, Dr. Oz explained that it was one of the top ‘super-foods’.

I’ll cover the topic of Super Foods in our next article.
