The Mystic History of Acai Berry

Do you want to look younger? Improve your overall health? Stop looking in the cosmetic department and start looking toward the Brazilian rainforest. No worries! You do not have to travel to this remote region to benefit from the latest scientific discovery: The Amazing Acai Berry!

To the natives in the region, acai (pronounced Ah-SIGH-ee) berries are nothing new. They have known about the amazing benefits of this beautiful purple berry that grows on a palm tree for centuries.

According to folklore, the daughter of an Amazon Indian tribal chief is responsible for acai berries. Tragically, the chief had to order that all newborn babies be killed because there was not enough food to feed his growing tribe. His daughter, Iaca, was not spared this decree and her baby was the first to be killed.

Desperate and incredibly sad, Iaca mourned her child for days, weeping in her hut. Finally, she heard the cries of a newborn in the forest and raced to find what she hoped was her precious child. What she found was a palm tree that bore bright purple berries. She lay down at the base of the palm tree and died.

When the villagers discovered her, they also discovered the palm, which bore berries plentiful enough to feed and sustain the entire village. The tribal chief was able to lift the decree and named the berries Acai berries after his dead daughter. Acai is Iaca spelled backward.

Interesting story, but the real miracle of the amazing acai berry is what we now know about it through scientific study. The acai berry contains essential amino acids, omega 3 fatty acids and super antioxidants.

Anthocyanin is the super antioxidant that gives the acai berry its gorgeous royal purple color. It is also known for its ability to slow or stop tumor growth in laboratory studies. Though all antioxidants are capable of fighting free radicals and the damage they incur thus preventing cancer, anthocyanin is more powerful than most.

Because free radicals are also responsible for the aging process, acai berries are also great for preventing premature aging and slowing the biological clock.

Essential amino acids are important for tissue structure. Though only animal protein contains a complete blend of essential amino acids, it also contains dangerous saturated fat. Acai berries contain a nearly complete blend of essential amino acids making them fabulous for maintaining tissue structure (i.e. collagen in skin cells).

Speaking of fat, acai berries contain good fat called omega 3 fatty acids, which are capable of lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) and raising good cholesterol (HDL). You may have heard of omega 3 fatty acids in regard to the benefits of eating fish or taking fish oil supplements.

Acai berries are simply the most remarkable fruit that we know about at this time. Acai berries can slow the aging process, prevent disease and simply improve your overall health! They are delicious and fantastic for smoothies. They are also available in other forms such as supplements and powder.

Make sure you do not fall prey to acai juice that is mostly corn syrup and chemicals.

Weight Loss Programs! A Must Read!

Filed under: Nutrition — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Peter Clayton @ 2:40 pm

A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to forever shed countless pounds, stay healthy, and add many years to your life! It truly is a breakthrough weight loss program.

Arizona doctor, Suzanne Gudakunst, has turned the weight loss world upside down by revealing one of the best kept secrets ever to be discovered in this field.

She boasts proudly –

“This is something that I caught onto just before 2002 when there was so much research and exploration going around concerning the human colon and digestive system working in harmony with nutritional absorption, and I started doing independent studies just to test things at first…but which I later expanded on after seeing some fantastic results.”

This same Arizona doctor went on to accurately determine a definitive correlation between harmful plaque and parasitic infestations of the human bowel tract, and people suffering chronic obesity.

Pesticides, preservatives and other chemicals were discovered by Dr. Gudakunst to collect in everyone as unsafe crusty “plaque”.

Existing inside 99.964% of everyone’s intestines in the U.S. alone, and about 92.36% of people worldwide, are many species of “parasites” (i.e.–small, worm-like, fanged creatures), as recognized by Dr. Gudakunst.

Stealing your nutrition, while laying millions of eggs, these parasites also produce a toxic, jelly-like sludge, smothering your insides. They die, then fossilize in your intestines. This forms a coral-like barrier which keeps you from absorbing proper nutrition.

Testing her findings over the course of six years, this remarkable lady doctor developed a number of natural treatments to remove these harmful, digestive parasites and life-threatening plaques. Amazingly, even her worst-case obese patients experienced 100% effectiveness and success.

After borrowing from her studies on the excessively obese, Dr. Gudakunst decided to employ these same tactics to less extreme cases of overweight persons. The effectiveness and quality of her results were found to be same.

Close to 100% of Dr. Gudakunst’s case subjects were advised by conventional medical practitioners not to expect to live normal lives. But, after using the Arizona doctor’s natural remedies, these same test subjects saw total contradictions to their previous diagnoses.

Her entire treatment is based upon natural “protection agents” scattered throughout the world in the form of select herbs, extracts and organic constituents, which are found in a variety of plants.

When prepared using meticulously chosen amounts and using specific combinations, the doctor has seen astonishing results.

Make Your Weightloss Goals a Reality in 2009!

Do you arm yourself with a candy bar when battling your worries? I did, for more years than I’d like to admit. When I turned to food to fix my worries, food fixed me real good! The more I ate, the fatter and more stressed out I got. But for some strange reason, that didn’t stop me from heading for the refrigerator or grabbing a few of my favorite candy bars when I was upset. And I was upset A LOT.

I was the RN supervisor of a large medical-surgical floor in a hospital-telling everybody what to do to get healthy, and I felt like a dummy because I couldn’t stop overeating even though it made my blood pressure soar. My doctor told me I could have a stroke if I didn’t lose weight, so guess what I did: I went home and ate everything I could get my hands on. A doctor I worked with congratulated me for being pregnant–when I wasn’t–and I swore I would eat 500 calories until I wore a size 3, but I’ll bet you can guess what I did instead: I ate until I was about to pop.

I wanted to be thin more than anything in the world, so why couldn’t I quit overeating? I didn’t understand it then, but I do now. When we eat, our bodies secrete feel-good brain chemicals–neurotransmitters, such as serotonin. So eating really does relieve stress temporarily.

The problem is that when we turn to food to fix our problems, they only grow, and so do we!

Twenty-five years ago, after a lifetime of overeating and stressing out, I began discovering practical ways to lose the weight and worries that weighed me down. Here are three things that did, and still do:

I started writing in a Prayer Journal about things that were stressing me out. I learned that resentments are fattening, pouting puts pounds on and worries widen hips so I cast those cares on God, and not on the refrigerator.

I stopped playing games with my eating. Some of my favorites– “Broken Cookies Don’t Count,” “Fudge Is My Fortress,” “I’ve Already Blown It Today So What I Eat Now Won’t Hurt Me.”

I joined a group of people who wanted to lose weight. I love talking to others who think like I do and have the same struggles with food I used to have. We have fun while getting to the roots of our overeating. After awhile, most of them are amazed to find themselves shrinking outside while growing inside. So join me. Make 2009 THE YEAR you lose your weight and the worries that weigh you down!
