\"acaiDuring my travels throughout Brazil, I noticed lots of shops and juice stands selling acai. It is a delicious glass of semi liquid that is purple in color and served. I bought quite a few I must say.<\/p>\n

The fact that acai berries are native to the Amazon rain forest explains why it is so readily available and abundantly served in Brazil.<\/p>\n

I had heard that the buzz that acai is a superfood. Exactly how and why it is a superfood, up to the point of writing these few lines, I did not know. But I had heard it over and over from a variety of reliable sources – that acai is a superfood with a wide array of health benefits. So I decided to do some research into the health benefits of acai, and I’ll outline them here for you.<\/p>\n

Health benefits of Acai:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Anti-Carcinogenic properties – helps to prevent the formation of cancel cells.<\/li>\n
  2. Rich in Vitamin A.<\/li>\n
  3. High antioxidant capacities – strengthens the immune system and protects against free radicals.<\/li>\n
  4. Great source of fiber.<\/li>\n
  5. Reduces the risk of coronary heart disease.<\/li>\n
  6. Improves cholesterol<\/li>\n
  7. High calcium content.<\/li>\n
