MANILA, Philippines - ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is how the antioxidant capacity is measured in various foods. Higher ORAC capacity in foods allows for an increase in oxygen assimilation which plays a vital role in the aging process. According to the USDA, the Acai berry has the highest antioxidant action over any other food that has been evaluated. Acai berries are grown in the virgin Amazon Rainforest of Brazil and the Amazon basin of South America. Acai has the highest ORAC value, with an ORAC activity level of 18,400. One hundred-percent organic, Acai berries are harvested by the natives and are part of the staple diet of Indian tribes. Commonly referred to by the natives as the Amazon Rainforest Viagra, it was referred to as the No. 1 superfood with the highest antioxidant by Oprah Winfrey on her show.
Acai is one of the highest antioxidant fruits in the world with 10 times the antioxidant level of grapes, twice that of blueberries, and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine.
Antioxidants help fight free radicals which cause cancer. Free radicals are found in the environment and inside the body and are released due to high stress levels. As we age, hormonal problems become more common as the result of the wear and tear of stressful living, pollutants, poor diet, and abusive lifestyle.
The Acai berry contains vital nutrients that can help reduce free radicals, regulate hormone levels, improve immune function, enhance mental focus, concentration, memory, and mood. More, the nutrients in Acai berry help put the body back in balance and aid in the reduction or prevention of benign and malignant tumors. It is believed that when your body systems are functioning properly and your hormones are in balance, you are less likely to develop heart disease, tumors, arthritis, and/or diabetes.
Studies also show that the amazing Acai berry also contains anti-inflammatory properties which help with pains caused by arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other joint or muscle inflammation. Not only is Acai rich in anthocyanins and antioxidants, it also contains phytonutrients, fiber, healthy omega fats, amino acids, protein, plant sterols, vitamins and minerals that protect against free radical damage, help slow down aging, and fight disease.
Organique Acai berry is very rich in healthy omega fats. Nearly 50 percent of the Acai berry is fat — with 74 percent of the fat coming from healthy unsaturated fats such as omega 3, omega 6, and omega 9. 7.59 percent of the weight of the Acai pulp contained in Organique Acai is from amino acids. Nineteen different amino acids, the building blocks of protein, have been identified in Acai. Three plant sterols (or photosterols) have been identified in Acai — B-sitosterol, campesterol, and sigmasterol. Photosterols have been shown to help maintain a healthy heart and good digestive function.
