Acai Berry

I was looking into this, since this is the new hype on the internet.  The Acai Berry seems to be the new wave in weight loss now.  So, I thought I would do a little research into it to see what it was all about.  I am sure most of you have seen it out there, with various different types of claims.  As I had posted in a previous blog, no matter what diet you do choose to be on, it is important to take a good multi vitamin and try to stay as healthy as possible, set goals, and stay active!  This leads to a healthy body AND mind!  One thing is clear about this supplement, it is a powerful antioxidant.  When you do your research, you kind of have to get past all of the ads and get your information from the medical sites and also GNC is a good place to go.  Here are some of the benefits that I have found to be true that they have said to be back up by medical studies....
May help prevent diseases caused by oxidative stress such as heart disease and cancer.
Acai berries contain many anti-aging properties. They help to fight diseases with their remarkable nutritional qualities. The minerals and antioxidants help with skin regeneration, giving a greater appearance of youth and vigor. Acai also has a large amount of calcium, which promotes healthy bones and teeth.
Acai can increase overall vitality, as well as boost sex drives
There is evidence that shows that taking acai can help obtain and maintain a healthy body weight. With all the positive elements acai contains, it creates an environment of health, which helps a body burn fat more efficiently. The vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, amino acids, and antioxidants work together to create an ideal situation for weight loss. In addition, the fiber it possesses can create a sense of fullness and help control appetite.  (Webmd)
Some cosmetics and beauty products contain acai oil in the ingredient list. That’s because acai oil is a powerhouse of antioxidants.
I had read online in a few medical journals where this has been seen to help fight diseases/cancer. 
Here is where marketers have gone wild with it.  This vitamin/supplement can be found at your local Walmart or Gnc store.  And it is very inexpensive.  But because of the information behind it, they have figured out a way to make money off of it, and now you see all over the place on the internet....and only their prodcut works..lol  Here is what I did, I was impressed with the information I did find on it....so....I went to Walmart, and I purchased the Acai supplement(Wild Harvest Brand) and it cost me $8.00.  No shipping charges, no recurring monthly fees, and it was only $8.00.  I could of also gone to GNC, but at the time, did not want to go to the mall..ha ha.  I have been taking it for about three days now, and yes, it does help with your appetite.  It does give you that fuller feeling, a bit more energy, but by no means is it a magic pill, but does help.  As stated above, it also helps with anti-aging, diseases, weight loss and overall health.  So it is really worth the investment.  I would just advise going to your local store and buying it and not get caught up into all the hype you see on the internet and save yourself some money
