In response to a question from “B” here is more on Acai.
Acai has been used for many generations by the natives of Brazil. This Berry (pronounced a-sigh-ee), looks like a grape or a blueberry, but it’s smaller and darker. It’s a fruit with a large seed and only a little pulp.
A new Acai Berry Weight Loss pill by STG Supplements is a least cost alternative to help shed the extra pounds.
Recently it became very popular in the United States among alternative health proponents, and even featured by Oprah Winfry, It can now be found in everything from energy juices to ice cream. Acai has 10 times more antioxidant benefits than grapes and twice as much as blueberries.
NBC's Today did a feature story on acai in 2004, and more recently researchers at the University of Florida tested acai properties and concluded that it destroyed cultured leukemia cells.
What has made it so appealing as a food is its many uses. Not only does it taste good but acai contains nutrients and is naturally rich in Omega fats, amino acids, electrolytes, antioxidants, protein and vitamins A, B1 and E. In addition Acai is low in sugar and used to treat digestion problems, skin irritation, sexual dysfunction, and even insomnia.
Scientists are learning more about the functional power of superfoods, such as the acai berry. Numerous studies support eating foods rich in antioxidants and berries are a key component of a healthy diet promoting weight loss.
Acai is promoted in weight loss products, but few studies have tested the benefit of acai in losing those extra pounds but research continues. The theory is that consuming the Acai Berry in any form makes the movement of food particles in your digestive system very easy and thus the unwanted food particles are eliminated and not absorbed by the body and stored as fat. The fiber also aids in satisfying hunger.
If you have been following the news or the media in general, you know that many celebrities and thousands of others have lost weight on the Pure Acai Berry Weight Loss Diet, in combination with a legitimate Colon Cleanse.
These two combined are the latest in diet master plans. Sculpt and Cleanse by Health Direct is a Colon cleanser that can provide the benefits such as relief from constipation & irritable bowel syndrome, relief from gas & bloating, weight loss & flatter stomach, improved skin, acne, and hair, plus relief from: chronic fatigue, diverticulosis, digestive problems, acid reflux and even bad breath.
Although the jury is still out on the benefit of acai in losing those extra pounds, and the diet shown on Oprah is pretty costly, there are lower cost combinations that may be worth a try.
