Magic Coffee that helps in more ways than one

2009-10-29T21:26:00.002+10:00

Recently there has been a new product creating some interest and controversy. That is right of all things COFFEE. A mate of mine has just come back from overseas and he was raving about this coffee that makes a difference. When I first heard about it I was like yeah righto... you are having me on.

After about 30 or so minutes of listening to the story I thought I would check it all out. I did some research and I must admit I was shocked to find out what this coffee actually did. It helped with overall health but also helped make a difference in the bedroom. While I am young and thought ok.... no need for me to get this "magic coffee" I was surprised to read that the coffee really helps people between the age of 18 to 35. I am waiting to get my first order of this magic coffee but I am sure I will be pleasantly surprised.

If you are a coffee lover then give this one a go. I am sure you will be just as happy and surprised as I was when I read about it.

Acai Berry Meets Green Tea

2009-02-02T18:14:00.001+10:00

Finally the need in the marketplace for a green tea with benefits (The Acai Berry is included...) has been achieved. The team from easyweightlosstea.com and Wu-Yi Source have come up with an answer on how to combine the green tea and acai berry with the benefits of both great products. This is an opportunity to get away from having to purchase the expensive acai berry capsules or acai berry fruit juices.

For quite some time now in the media around the world people have heard about the benefits of the Acai Berry which is being used by hollywoods rich and famous. We have also heard how great the Acai Berry is. The truth is for many Aussies and Kiwi's these sorts of products just do not make it to our shores. We cannot even imagine how cool it would be to buy these products without paying "through the nose" for them. Some of the benefits as quoted from easyweightlosstea.com include the following:

"Most people who try Wu-Yi Tea say they love the taste and how convenient it is! Together with the two expert weight loss manuals, the Wu-Yi System is the newest healthy alternative for fast weight loss!

Most diets today require you to count calories as “points” or swallow embarrassingly large, horse-sized pills that are usually all filler.

Wu-Yi Tea is not only all-natural, it's also the ancient Chinese weight loss “secret” and that’s one of the reasons why the people of Asia stay so slim! For the first time ever, people across America are experiencing fast, healthy, energy-boosting weight loss like never before!" - easyweightlosstea.com

The questions often asked include "is why do we have to go on a diet to recieve the benefits?" or "Are you telling us that we need to lose 5 kilos?" even better yet "Why can't we just enjoy the green tea and acai berry product?"

The question we have for you is "Why can't we reap the benefits of this opportunity... Buy the Wu-Yi Acai product and enjoy it for what it is?"

Acai Berry Antioxidant Juice

2008-08-16T19:37:00.003+10:00

The acai berry is one of the world's most interesting and unique foods. It may also be one of its healthiest. Chock-full of antioxidants, amino acids, AND essential fatty acids, the tiny little acai berry packs a nutritional wallop rarely seen in the natural world. In fact, some experts consider it to be the world's most "complete" natural food.

Acai berries come from the acai (pronounced ah-SIGH-ee) palm tree of South America. The native peoples of Brazil have eaten the berry for centuries and there are, in fact, many local legends about acai's incredible healing and sustaining powers. It remains a popular "health and energy" food in that country today. Fortunately for North Americans and Europeans, in the last few years acai berry products have made their way to foreign shores. Now just about anyone can (and should) try this incredibly healthy food for themselves.

To give you an idea of just how powerful this fruit really is, consider the nutritional profile of acai berry pulp: - 10-30 times the anthocyanins (strong antioxidants) of red wine - an almost perfect essential amino acid complex (the "building blocks" of protein) - 60% Oleic acid, an omega-9 monounsaturated essential fatty acid - 12% Linoleic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated essential fatty acid - a full array of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements - large amounts of plant sterols (phytochemicals with numerous health benefits) - significant amounts of natural dietary fiber - natural calcium! As you can see, there aren't many things that the acai berry doesn't have! But the good news doesn't end there. Acai has a vibrant taste that most people find very, very pleasing. Though difficult to describe, some people compare the flavor of acai to tart, chocolate-covered cherries or blueberry ice cream with a hint of chocolate. Not bad for something so healthy!

A few of the more common benefits reported by people who consume acai berries on a regular basis include: - Greater energy and vitality - Increased stamina - Improved circulation - Improved digestion - Better sleep - Improved sexual function - Healthier, better-looking skin - Increased sense of overall "well-being" By now you're probably aching to try this super-fruit for yourself. Fortunately it's becoming more and more widely available throughout the United States, Europe, and Australia. Look for acai smoothies and acai berry juices at your local health foods shops. There are also several health supplements on the market which contain dried acai berry powder... but it would be a shame to miss out on the delicious and unique taste of this amazing berry!

Natures Perfect Food

2008-08-16T19:22:00.003+10:00

Nature's Perfect Food - Discover the amazing health benefits of the fruit from the Amazon's "tree of life"

If you get your health guidance from the mainstream media, you'd think the healthiest way to live is to guzzle red wine and drown everything in olive oil.

That's basically what they've told us in recent years. First, it was the "French paradox"--the fact that the French, who generally eat lots of cheese, cream, and butter; drink lots of wine; and smoke like chimneys, are healthier than Americans. Scientists told us it was all in the wine-specifically, in the anthocyanins-the antioxidant flavonoid that gives red grapes their deep color.

Then it was the "Mediterranean diet," the traditional way of eating in the regions of Italy and Spain, where olive oil is a staple. We learned that olive oil is a good source of essential fatty acids that are processed right out of many Americanized foods.

I'm not discounting the benefits of either of these phytochemicals. In fact, in a minute I'll explain exactly why both are so important to good health. I just question the sources recommended in the headlines.

There's got to be a better way to get these valuable nutrients than guzzling wine and drowning in oil. As it turns out, there is. I learned about it from HSI panelist Jon Barron. He told me about a single superfood from the Amazon that, fresh from the tree, can provide over 30 times the amount of anthocyanins as red wine and all the beneficial fatty acids of olive oil in one delicious, all-natural package. And this is just the beginning of this food's health benefits. It's virtually impossible to over-do this food-which is certainly not the case with red wine or olive oil.

Get the healing power of many phytonutrients in one delicious package. There's no disputing the health benefits of anthocyanins and essential fatty acids. Both have proven to be powerful nutritional tools in the quest for good health.

Research has shown that plant pigments like anthocyanins are potent antioxidants. The cardiovascular benefits are the most well known; studies show that anthocyanins can help prevent blood clots, improve blood circulation, relax blood vessels, and prevent artherosclerosis.
But scientists have also uncovered a whole host of other powerful effects from anthocyanins, including antiviral and antiallergenic properties. Some research even suggests that anthocyanins can prevent cancer, by blocking carcinogenesis on a molecular level and encouraging tumor cell death.

Essential fatty acids have proven just as powerful. Oleic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 acid, and linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated omega-6 acid, help lower LDL, and maintain healthy HDL levels. They also increase the absorption of fat-soluable vitamins like vitamins A, E, D, and K, which are essential to good health. Research has even suggested that oleic acid may prevent against cancer and hypertension.

Olive oil may be the best known sources of these nutrients, but it is certainly not the only one. It's the pigment in red grapes that gives wine its anthocyanins-and that same pigment can also be found in other red and purple fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries, red cabbage, and purple sweet potatoes. Oleic acid is also present in pecans and seed oils, and linoleic acid is found in peanuts.

But there is one food that delivers it all-plus other healthy nutrients like fiber, phytosterols, and vitamins C and E. For centuries, it's been a staple for people in Brazil, yet virtually unknown to anyone outside the region-until now.

Discover the health secret of generations of Amazonian Indians. It's called acai(pronounced ah-sigh-ee), and it's the fruit of a palm tree that grows in the rainforests of the Amazon-a tree Brazilians call "The Tree of Life." About 90 percent of the small, round fruit is its hard, inediblepit-but that's OK, because it's the outside skin that holds the treasure. That dark purple skin is what contains the anthocyanins.

The natives puree the skins, creating a treat that can be served warm as a sauce over fruit or grains or frozen like a sorbet. They've been eating it for centuries, passing down recipes from generation to generation. (The native people have also passed down the story of how acai was discovered.) Because fruit itself is perishable, its popularity never spread beyond the region.

Then, a few years ago, two friends from California went to Brazil on a surfing expedition and tasted acai for the first time. Before they even knew the health benefits, they were hooked on the taste. But once they learned that the tasty treat was also a nutritional powerhouse, they knew they had to find a way to bring acai to the rest of the world.

Superfood fights heart disease, cancer, prostate enlargement, and more. Since then, the news about acai has been steadily spreading-and the evidence of nutritional and health benefits just keep piling up. Consider this: a 100-gram serving of acai contains only 90 calories, just two grams of fat and no cholesterol.

Plus, it delivers 3.5 grams of dietary fiber, something we could all use more of in our diets. Improved processing of the fresh fruit is making it possible to preserve more of the fruit's healthful attributes. Currently, the puree provides more anthocyanins than red wine and has antioxidant concentrations that well outweigh blueberries.

Subsequent research has shown that in addition to the anthocyanins and essential fatty acids, acai also contains a healthy dose of plant sterols, another class of phytochemicals that have been shown to reduce cholesterol, protect the immune system, and relieve prostate enlargement. In fact, it turns out acai is in the same family as saw palmetto, a common herbal treatment for
prostate enlargement. And researchers at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro have discovered that acai extract can be used to fight infection, like the parasitic infection schistosomosis which affects 10 million Brazilians each year and the common bacterial infection staphylococcus aureus. It seems there's no end to this miracle fruit's health benefits.

Thanks to those Californian surfers, acai is now available to just about anyone. Their special recipe is based on one created by Brazil's Gracie family, the founders of Brazilian Jui Jitsu, which is the fastest growing martial art in the world. The recipe combines the powerful health benefits and great taste of acai with the sweet syrup of the guarana fruit, which has long been touted for its beneficial effects on stamina and concentration.

In some parts of the U.S., you can purchase acai in Whole Food Markets. Or you can order direct over the phone or via the Internet. So instead of trying to emulate the French or the folks in the Mediterranean region, consider taking a cue from the native people of the Amazon.

Acai Berry Making for a Healthy Heart

2008-07-30T14:14:00.001+10:00

Acai is a new fruit from Brazil that offers vital nutritional benefits for people over 40 years of age. The Acai contains 33 times the cholesterol fighting anthocyanin than a glass of red wine, a Daily Value (DVS) of calcium, twice the DVS at the antioxidant 'Vitamin E and a substantial amount of dietary fiber„ (2)

Cardiovascular Maintenance, Anthocyanins are cholesterol regulating compounds with well researched data (indicating their value in Cardiovascular support Elevated blood cholesterol is one of the major modifiable risk factors for coronary heart disease (5) and the leading cause of death in the US The fact is that 490,000 Americans die of Coronary Heart Diseases each year (3) with cost of over $60 billion annually in medical expenses and lost productivity ( 4) Therefore, regulating and reducing cholesterol through dietary means can contribute to prolonging life and reducing medical expenses.

Low cholesterol foods and exercise are only a part of the natural program to prevent and mitigate cardiovascular diseases. The consumption of foods rich in compounds that reduce cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and curry antioxidant protection completes the program. Acai is an excellent example of such a functional food that is now accessible to food, beverage and supplement markets in an economical and convenient form.

Calcium rich Acai also provides several cardiovascular health benefits. According to a research summary by the Just-Food.com editorial team. More than maintaining skeletal strength and reducing the impact of osteoporosis, studies have shown that people who suffer from high blood pressure often also have diets low in calcium, When calcium is added to their diet, blood pressure drops. Some research also suggest that calcium may help reduce LDL cholesterol levels. Also the lower risk of stroke, found in a study of 86,000 women, was attributed to calcium. Diets rich in calcium have also been linked to reduced occurrences of colon and breast cancer in various laboratory studies.

The generous amount of Vitamin E in Acai, twice the D.V., (Daily Value), is essential for regeneration of damaged tissue and as a protective antioxidant. Cancer prevention and Intestinal function: "Acai" high fiber content is very favorable to the consumers proper intestinal function, " reports Dr. Herve Rogez , "Fiber accelerates the intestinal processes and has a very important role in avoiding colon cancer, The D.V. is 35g of fibers/adult a day, Acai consumers reach this dose very easily," (2)

Top 10 Superfoods for Anti-aging by Dr. Nicholas Perricone

2008-07-30T14:12:00.001+10:00

The benefits from eating healthy are endless. And, according to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, some foods can be eaten to help you look and age better! At the top of the list is the acai fruit from the Amazon forest. This little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world. It can often be found in juice form in health food and gourmet stores.

A previously little-known fruit harvested from the Brazilian rainforest is now gaining recognition for its high levels of the cholesterol-fighting fatty acids, Omega 6 and Omega 9, and its strong concentration -- up to 33 times that found in red wine grapes -- of anthocyanin, a powerful anti-oxidant.

The acai berry is especially noteworthy for the antioxidant properties afforded by its concentration of anthocyanin -- which is also present in red wine -- that prevents oxidants from harming connective tissue while repairing damaged proteins in blood vessel walls. This helps explain the “French Paradox.” The French, who are noted wine drinkers, have one of the lowest incidences of heart disease of any westernized society despite a diet high in cholesterol and saturated fat.

Monavie Inc., a network marketing company started in 2004, is gearing up for launch on January 8, 2005. The company was formed to market a wellness product, the Acai Amazon Berry, in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Singapore and Australia. With 10 times the antioxidants of grapes and twice the antioxidants of blueberries, the Brazilian acai berry is considered to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth.

The acai berry is taking the world by storm, and is becoming known as the most beneficial fruit in the world.

Acai Replaces Wheatgrass in Blenders at Juice Bars

2008-07-30T14:06:00.003+10:00

Sitting at a cafe table in a chic Manhattan fitness club, Kacy Duke takes a sip of a purplish-pink smoothie made with bananas, juices and acai, a fruit from the Amazon that fans say helps boost energy and lower cholesterol. "This is good," says Ms. Duke, a personal trainer who drinks about six of them a week.

Wheatgrass, protein shakes -- so 2002. At juice bars and health stores around the country, the hip new taste is acai, (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) a grape-size, deep-purple berry that grows atop
palm trees in the Brazilian jungle. In the two years since it hit the U.S., sales have jumped fivefold to $2.5 million. "People drive out of their way to get it," says Brandon Gough, the company's vice president of marketing. Even non-health types are catching on: Restaurants are
serving it with dinner entrées.

Fans say the fruit (which comes to the U.S. as frozen pulp) not only tastes good, but also is good for you -- packed with anthocyanins, the same antioxidants that give red wine its health benefits. And, in a hat trick of health-bar chic, it's good for the Amazon, too, because it's collected by local families who can earn as much as $1,000 during the December-to-August harvest season (twice as much as they can usually make). "It gives them income and another land use besides cutting down the trees and raising cattle," says Chris Kilham, who teaches ethno botany at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Of course, the fruit is just the latest exotic newcomer looking for a place in U.S. produce aisles -- remember the star fruit? And the acai's newfound cachet would probably take a lot of Brazilians by surprise: There, acai, whose taste has been likened to blueberry with a hint of chocolate, typically is eaten as a pudding like mush over bananas for breakfast.

As to the health claims: "It is very nutritional," says Elisabetta Politi, a nutritionist with the Duke University Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, N.C. Ms. Duke, who not only drinks the stuff, but also has mixed it into a homemade mask for her skin. "I thought because of all of the antioxidants, it would be good," she says. (The result: "I glowed," she says.)

Brazilian Acai Berry Destroys Cancer Cells in Lab

2008-07-27T13:07:00.002+10:00

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A Brazilian berry popular in health food contains antioxidants that destroyed cultured human cancer cells in a recent University of Florida study, one of the first to investigate the fruit’s purported benefits.Published today in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the study showed extracts from acai (ah-SAH’-ee) berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested, said Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

“Acai berries are already considered one of the richest fruit sources of antioxidants,” Talcott said. “This study was an important step toward learning what people may gain from using beverages, dietary supplements or other products made with the berries.”

He cautioned that the study, funded by UF sources, was not intended to show whether compounds found in Acai berries could prevent leukemia in people.

“This was only a cell-culture model and we don’t want to give anyone false hope,” Talcott said. “We are encouraged by the findings, however. Compounds that show good activity against cancer cells in a model system are most likely to have beneficial effects in our bodies.”

Other fruits, including grapes, guavas and mangoes, contain antioxidants shown to kill cancer cells in similar studies, he said. Experts are uncertain how much effect antioxidants have on cancer cells in the human body, because factors such as nutrient absorption, metabolism and the influence of other biochemical processes may influence the antioxidants’ chemical activity.

Another UF study, slated to conclude in 2006, will investigate the effects of acai’s antioxidants on healthy human subjects, Talcott said. The study will determine how well the compounds
are absorbed into the blood, and how they may affect blood pressure, cholesterol levels and related health indicators. So far, only fundamental research has been done on Acai berries, which contain at least 50 to 75 as-yet unidentified compounds.

“One reason so little is known about Acai berries is that they’re perishable and are traditionally used immediately after picking,” he said. “Products made with processed Acai berries have only been available for about five years, so researchers in many parts of the world have had little or no opportunity to study them.”

Talcott said UF is one of the first institutions outside Brazil with personnel studying Acai berries.
Besides Talcott, UF’s acai research team includes Susan Percival, a professor with the food science and human nutrition department, David Del Pozo-Insfran, a doctoral student with the department and Susanne Mertens-Talcott, a postdoctoral associate with the pharmaceutics
department of UF’s College of Pharmacy.

Acai berries are produced by a palm tree known scientifically as Euterpe oleracea, common in floodplain areas of the Amazon River, Talcott said. When ripe, the berries are dark purple and about the size of a blueberry. They contain a thin layer of edible pulp surrounding a large seed.

Historically, Brazilians have used Acai berries to treat digestive disorders and skin conditions, he said. Current marketing efforts by retail merchants and Internet businesses suggest acai products can help consumers lose weight, lower cholesterol and gain energy.

“A lot of claims are being made, but most of them haven’t been tested scientifically,” Talcott said. “We are just beginning to understand the complexity of the acai berry and its health-promoting effects.” In the current UF study, six different chemical extracts were made from
acai fruit pulp, and each extract was prepared in seven concentrations.

Four of the extracts were shown to kill significant numbers of leukemia cells when applied for 24 hours. Depending on the extract and concentration, anywhere from about 35 percent to 86 percent of the cells died.

The UF study demonstrates that research on foods not commonly consumed in the United States is important, because it may lead to unexpected discoveries, said Joshua Bomser, an assistant professor of molecular nutrition and functional foods at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

But familiar produce items have plenty of health-giving qualities, he said.

“Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with decreased risk for many diseases, including heart disease and cancer,” said Bomser, who researches the effects of diet on
chronic diseases. “Getting at least five servings a day of these items is still a good recommendation for promoting optimal health.”

Is Acai Berry the Best Antioxidant Dietary Supplement

2008-07-27T13:03:00.001+10:00

Fresh, Delicious, Organically-Grown, Antioxidant Rich Acai Like You've Never Tasted Before-Delivered Right To Your Door.

When it comes to Acai, there has been a groundbreaking discovery in the acai Berry as an extremely powerful antioxidant dietary supplement. Antioxidants are essential for full body health and to prevent free radical damage. If unchecked free radical process snowballs as we age and eventually we begin to feel its effects at around age 35 or 40 - the domino effect of untreated massive cell damage. Things begin to go wrong.

Fighting Free Radical Damage with an Antioxidant Rich Acai Juice Supplement as the unchecked flow of free radicals damage cells we begin to see degeneration, aging and disease. Free radicals can invade a cell wall, damage the DNA, and begin the process that can start cancer. The free
radicals can invade the cell and cause the cell to slow down or stop working altogether. Depending on where this happens, it can disrupt many of the body's natural systems - from neuronal firing to hormonal balance. The Acai berry as an antioxidant dietary supplement serves to combat this free radical damage.

Acai was first introduced by Dr. Nicholas Perricone in his new book the Perricone Promise. In the book he calls the acai berry the most perfect food on the planet.

Acai The Brazilian Miracle

2008-07-27T13:00:00.001+10:00

You may have noticed a new kid on the chilled fruit juice block at your local supermarket or at your favourite smoothie bar, it's called acai, pronounced ah-sigh-ee and it comes from the Amazon region of Brazil where it is known as 'The Tree of Life'.

This fantastic tree, a member of the palm family and related to the saw palmetto, grows in the flood plains of the mighty Amazon river where it reaches over 20 meters high. The berries grow prolifically along branches that spring out of the top and look a bit like 'Sideshow Bobs'' hair and are gathered by the indigenous people who scramble up the trunk to cut the berry laden boughs and then take them to the market.

Speed is of the essence because the berries start to loose their potency as soon as they get picked so they need to be frozen as soon as possible.

It had been a popular drink in the Amazon district for hundreds of years but came to light when a cafe in Rio de Janeiro started selling it. Across the street was a Jujitsu school, run by Carlos Gracie, who tried some and insisted on his pupils drinking it to boost their performance. The pupils were very fit looking people and they said that it was because they drank acai. The surfers picked up on this and its reputation grew and grew until it went international.

The berries are not the only good thing on this tree, the Brazilians also use the stems of the leaves which are harvested as palm hearts and the bark and roots are used in medicine for a wide variety of ailments from anemia to muscle pains and worms.

This little purple berry is packed with anti oxidants such as phytochemicals, polyphenols and anthocyanins, fatty acids omega 6 and 9, calcium, proteins and fibre which are all great for a healthy life. It is the anthocyanins that are, perhaps, creating the most interest because of large amounts present in the fruit. These are the chemicals that are found in the dark purple colour in plants and came to prominence as the healthy ingredient in red wine that helps to protect
the heart and there are so many anthocyanins in acai berries, they haven't all been researched yet.

Early research has shown it has been able to destroy large numbers of leukaemia cells in the laboratory but a lot more investigation is needed before any conclusions can be drawn over its full medicinal properties.

As with most of the purple berries they are useful in the fight against a wide range of ailments such as cancer, heart disease, cholesterol, macular degeneration, Alzheimers' disease, infections of the urinary tract and have anti bacterial and anti fungal properties. Unlike other berries, these are just packed with an abundance of health giving ingredients which really does allow them to use the name super food.

Something this good usually turns out to taste like old socks, but acai juice is really nice, a berry flavour with an after taste tinged with chocolate although when sold it is mixed with other fruit juice. To ensure you are getting a good quantity of this wonder berry, check the list of ingredients and buy the one with acai listed as the highest constituent. It will probably be more expensive but well worth the extra cost.

Another way of buying acai berries is to get it as a frozen paste which you can use in making your own smoothies or as a topping for your breakfast cereal or even ice cream.
Many foods have been hyped as the greatest but the acai really does appear to have earned the name super food.

Acai Berry Health Secret or Natural Cure Scam

2008-07-21T18:14:00.003+10:00

The Acai berry is a well-kept secret of the Amazon. A secret to the Western world, the acai berry has been grown in the Amazon for years. People in the Western world are just now beginning to realize just how much this berry maximizes health through its amazing antioxidant powers.

For those who haven’t seen it, the acai berry, dark and purple in color, is enriched in a large number of healthy substances, including those with antioxidant power. This berry grows without cultivation atop palm trees which dominate the rain forests in the Amazon, especially in Brazil. The local people harvest the berries and use it to make a type of fruit pulp. This fruit pulp is
flash-frozen in order to lock in its nutritional abilities.

The benefits of the acai berry

Researchers have found that the acai berries are filled with a specific type of antioxidant nutrient known as anthocyanins. In case you haven’t studied it, these are the same substances that provide the red color to red wine. Like red wine, acai berries share the same healthy effects. Acai Berries also are rich in fiber and protein along with the essential fatty acids, omega-6 and omega-9.

These are the primary reasons why so many health aficionados are starting to take a long look at the acai berry and why it’s become so popular. Because it has the combination of fatty acids, antioxidants, fiber and protein, it is felt to be one of the perfect health foods by several experts.

If you are interested in the acai berry, there are places to buy them. The juice is also available. Many health food stores and retailers who specialize in whole foods have the berry available. Even some supermarkets will likely begin to sell the acai berry, especially as it gains in popularity. Some organic food stores are beginning to carry them.

If you like to surf the Internet, there are several internet sites that sell products created from the acai berry. Some of the best products include frozen juice made from the whole berry. The acai berry

juice is probably one of the best and healthiest products made from this product. The juice retains many of the antioxidant and other substances found in the berry itself.

The details

At the organic food store or on the web, you need to find out who the best suppliers are and figure out how the acai berry is picked from the bush and stored at each supplier. All of these
things can make a big difference in the nutrition you’ll find in the berry or in the juice. Only the wild berry should be used as opposed to any cultivated variety. Remember also that the berry must be flash-frozen and that it must not remain on store shelves for a long time. Packaging definitely affects health benefits.

The good news is that terrific manufacturers of acai berries exist, including those that both pick and package the berry for maximum freshness using the original methods of harvesting invented by the Amazonian farmers. The local farmers have had the most experience with the acai berry and they know the proper methods of picking the berry, freezing it and putting it in packages. These farmers have done a great deal to promote the acai berry and are willing to share this information with the rest of us.

You can benefit from taking acai, but if you really want to achieve radiant health you should try the master cleanse. People who've used the master cleanse have been able to wipe out sickness that's plagued them for years, lose weight, and send their energy levels surging. There has been a free book written to help you with the master cleanse diet. To find out more about the Master Cleanse Diet visit http://www.colonzone.org/Master-Cleansing-Diet.php

The Benefits Discovered with Ongoing Research

2008-07-18T00:18:00.002+10:00

Acai berries that come in the form of freeze dried fuit pulp has been found to contain the mild ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes COX-1 and COX-2 with a better effect on COX-1. These enzymes are important when it comes to acute and chronic inflammation, both of which are targeted by most of the anti-inflammatory medications available.

Another great find was that the lower concentrations of the freeze dried pulp were found to be stimulating to macrophages in vitro. Macrophages are also known as white blood cells that are an important component to that of the human immune system. The macrophages found in freeze dried Acai berry pulp were found to inhibit the production of nitric oxide that had been induced by the potent inflammatory inducer, which is part of the cell membrane of certain bacteria. This in effect increases the concentration as the amount of Acai berries increased.

A study completed at the University of Florida showed that the Acai berry fractions containing polyphenolics could reduce proliferation of HL-60 leukemia cells in vitro. This was more than likely due to the increased rate of rapid cell death as fractions were also found to activate caspase-3 which is an enzyme important in apoptosis (rapid cell death) which was inversely correlated to the cell death that took place.

Due to deep pigmentation, orally administered the Acai berry has been tested in other areas like as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging of the gastrointestinal system of the human body. Its anthocyanins have been identified as a characteristic for stability as a natural food colouring agent.

What are Polyphenols?

Polyphenols are chemical substances found in vegetables. Their phenolic reactions produce gelatines, alkaloids and other proteins. These polyphenols are responsible for the very distinctive colouring that some plants like that of the Acai palm, the blue berry and red wine. Polyphenols can provide antioxidant health benefits.

What are Anthocyanins?

Anthocyanins are one of the more potent forms of polyphenols. Anthocyanin has been proven to stop, reverse and improve the symptoms of many degenerative diseases which are inflicted upon the general population. They are found in various fruits and have a unique chemical structure that makes them up to 8 times more potent than that of vitamin C.

Acai berries contain highly concentrated forms of anthocyanins, infact it has the most forms. This is a result shown after intense research. The anthocyanin content found in the Acai berry is proven to be 35 times the amount found in a glass of red wine, volume to volume when tested in an ORAL analysis (measure of capacity).

Cyanidin 3 glucoside a primary anthocyanins in the Acai berry help in the reversal of age related neurological deficits found in humans.

What are Phytochemicals?

Phytochemicals are also known as phytonutrients which are the matrix of protective living matter made of nutrients, vitamins and minerals to protect plants in uncertain environments.

The Daily Tiffin: Superfood: Acai - Nature's Energy Fruit

The Daily Tiffin: Superfood: Acai - Nature's Energy Fruit

It may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you’ve likely never even heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, acai tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect energy fruit. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Although Acai may not be available in your local supermarket, you can find it in several health food and gourmet stores (often in juice form). A new product featuring the unsweetened pulp is now also available, and I highly recommend that you choose this form of Acai.

Acai pulp contains:
A remarkable concentration of antioxidants that help combat premature aging, with 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine.
A synergy of monounsaturated (healthy) fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols to help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
An almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration.
The fatty acid content in acai resembles that of olive oil, and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid is important for a number of reasons. It helps omega-3 fish oils penetrate the cell membrane; together they help make cell membranes more supple. By keeping the cell membrane supple, all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors function more efficiently. This is particularly important because high insulin levels create an inflammatory state, and we know, inflammation causes aging.

Since the Acai Berry is so perishable we are not able to go to the local fruit market and buy a basket of Acai berries. The good news is, companies like Sambazon have developed a process to export frozen Acai pulp and freeze dried Acai powder.
The highest quality Acai supplements will be made with Sambazon freeze dried acai. Spray dried and "extract" Acai supplements should be avoided at all costs.

Acai Affiliate Programs

2008-05-06T23:34:00.004+10:00

Since the release of the Acai berry to the western world and the various products promoting the Acai berry as a key ingredient there has been the implementation of different affiliate programs promoting the superfood.

How do these programs work you may ask? The answer is quite simple. While there is very few products in the market place that promote the Acai berry as one of the ingredients these products have a common way of promoting the product. This is through the use of an affiliate program which gives webmasters the ability to talk about a product or in this case a fruit that not only shows promising response but gives a financial incentive paid forward by various companies selling such products.

These companies have various ways you potentially earn an income from selling and/or promoting their product. The good news is that given the options in the market place you as a webmaster or Acai berry fan can promote a product that provides the best financial returns if a referral decides to purchase a product from the affiliate companies website.

What programs are available? There are actually about 10 in total for the Acai berry. Out of these 10 Magic Berry promotes 3 different programs. These 3 programs are from the most popular companies and most successful companies selling Acai berry products. The first of these programs is one from Perfect Acai.

Perfect Acai is a product that comes in capsule form and is promoted as a dietary supplement. This is good source of the Acai berry and offers a fair compensation plan of up to 40% per sale made as a result of a referral from your website, facebook, myspace or blogging account.

Another popular program is from a company called "Sambazon" who gives your referral traffic the ability to purchase a variety of Acai berry based products. The link that you are given takes a visitor to an online shopping cart where they can make an informed decision of the right product for them. The amount you could make from referring someone to the Sambazon site is up to 7% per sale. This might not seem like much but it all adds up especially if you are referring alot of customers to them.

The last of the 3 popular programs is using a multi-level marketing concept from a company called Monavie. This is unique in the way this program works as there is up to 8 ways to earn money from. The biggest difference between this program and the others is you can get a free mercedes as a gift once you have reached a star distributor level. The Monavie Original has been recognised and promoted by industry leading doctors and health specialists . While membership is not overly expensive the incentives to purchase and sell the Monavie products is what gives it the edge over the others.

To sign up for any of the affiliate/multi-level marketing programs mentioned in this article you can click on the following links:

Perfect Acai *
Sambazon
Monavie *

* This particular program is highly recommended and provides good support tools to sell and promote the products they sell.

What is Monavie?

2008-04-12T23:16:00.003+10:00

While looking around the internet for Acai berry juices you will more than likely come across a product called Monavie. What is Monavie? Why is this so popular? Throughout this article hopefully you will learn what makes Monavie so popular and what Monavie is exactly.

Monavie is a product made up of a proprietary blend of 19 different fruits. This blend is what makes the juice so popular. There are various aspects of this blend like the high ORAC score, the antioxidants contained within the blend and many other health benefits associated with the Acai berry fruit juice.

Monavie is a product that was released in January 2005 by Dallin Larson and his team of researchers. The break through that Dallin Larson and his team came across showed not only potential but something that could potentially change the world of Superfoods and the health industry.

There is four products available on the market made by Monavie these are broken up in to a couple of main products which are Monavie original and Monavie Active. Both of these products come in a juice and in a gel pack. The only difference between the juice and the gel essentially is the packaging and the amount of Monavie blend available in each package.

Monavie is distributed not through the normal channels of a retail store or a wholesale company located in capital cities but rather through distributors who can not only just supply the product but provide you with an application form to sign up for Monavie.

Why would you want to sign up as a distributor of Monavie? There are really 2 reasons which are not only logical but they are also beneficial to yourself and your family. The first is so you can not only purchase Monavie yourself but you can get the benefits of the price difference between buying retail from the distributor and the second reason is so you can supply your friends, family or even associates this product which has many great health benefits. The best part about this distributorship is the fact that once you reach a certain level within the Monavie distributors system Monavie will send you out a new Mercedes for FREE!

Have a read through a website which is full of testimonials, articles and other helpful information about the Acai berry and Monavie. If you have some spare time take the time to watch the 19 minute video from Dr Lou Niles who talks about Monavie and the health benefits obtained from having the Acai berry and other fruits as a part of your diet.

Amazons Viagra Featured On Oprah

2008-04-12T23:13:00.002+10:00

Deep in the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon, lies more mystery and miracles than can be discovered in any one lifetime. The Baby Boomers however can be the ones who stand to gain the most with the new Amazon discovery which has been called the next “Big Thing”.

Ancient tribes and locals of the Amazon have known for many centuries that the ancient berry known as the “Acai berry” may cause sexual sensation.

This mysterious berry has been making headlines throughout the media in the USA over the last few years. Having featured in the Wall Street Journal, NBC’s “Today Show” and just a couple of years ago the Oprah Show, Dr Perricone named the Acai berry as one of the most nutritious and powerful anti-aging foods in the world, infact it made it to the top of the top 10 super foods list.

Monarch Health Sciences a leading health company from Salt Lake City has launched a new product called “Monavie”. The Acai berry juice has been created from a unique blend of fruits which has been formulated by the talents of Dr Carson the Chief Science Officer of Monarch Health Sciences. Dr Carson leads a team of the US’s leading doctors, a prestigious medical team that is passionate about discovering the planet’s secret natural medicines.

The Acai berry is not only known as “Amazon’s Viagra” but also as the berry that has many cures and is effective in many areas including: anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antioxidant, anti-mutagenic and the cardiovascular system.

So how do you get your hands on this product? Dr Carson and his team have launched a product called “Monavie” which means “The tree of life” which is available via a MLM distribution model. This model has been structured in a way that allows the average person to become a story teller of this great product and generate a residual income from telling this story.

This product is best presented on a person to person basis rather than just sitting on a shelf system where it is only by chance that it succeeds in the market place. You can find out more by visiting the “Business Opportunity” section of this site.

A bottle of Monavie starts at $39 per bottle and discounts are given if quantities of 2 or more are purchased at a time.

Finding Acai Testimonials

2008-04-03T23:48:00.003+10:00

Finding out about a product like Monavie or more importantly in this case, about a new and unique berry just like the Acai berry is something that does not happen everyday. Once you have researched this topic you have the issue of how to locate a good source of information and testimonials from others who have tried a new product or even such a unique berry.

I know this from experience. Fortunately I am in the age group where computers are second nature and the internet was in its infancy, just before the .com bust up of 2000, when I was in high school. This is where such a resource like the internet becomes a priceless resource filled with a wealth of information. How does this help the likes of yourself and others? It is quite simple if you are researching a product or a berry that you have never been made aware of you may be lucky enough to find a blog like this one where you can get a link to testimonials or even links to a site that has products people have posted information on.

The Magic Berry website has Acai Testimonials on it which you will find not only interesting but interesting enough to maybe even buy Monavie or another great acai product available in the market.

Just tonight before logging on to the internet I was at a service station and I noticed a drink that has just been released which contained the Acai berry. I asked the service station attendant about this product and if it has become popular as yet. The service station attendant advised me that not only had it become popular but she has even had people give her testimonials on the Acai berry and the benefits of the Acai berry.

After talking to her for about 10-15 minutes I asked her for the Acai testimonials and if I could make mention of our conversation on this blogging site. To my amazement she replied "Yes that is fine, I have got a list of sites that even have some Acai testimonials on them. Do you want a copy of this list?" Naturally I replied "Yes, that would be really handy."

Once getting this list I reviewed it and found about the 3rd from the bottom was the address to the Magic Berry website. I have gone through a few sites before writing this blog but have not had a chance to get all the way through them but I must admit if you want Acai testimonials the internet is going to be the best resource. Even try contacting your local wellbeing center or nature medicine center and see what they say about the Acai berry.

The Acai testimonials on the Magic Berry site are getting added regularly so check it out and see what you think to what others have to say about the Acai berry.

Monavie Business Opportunity

2008-03-25T23:35:00.001+10:00

While working for a long time on the internet in regards to developing websites for various organizations I have found myself watching many business opportunities arising. Some of course come and go, some stay for a long time and others just fail.

While developing sites for the various organizations which I wont mention due to privacy reasons, I came across a product from a company called "Monavie" which contained the Acai berry. While this site (magicberry.blogspot.com) talks alot about the Acai berry all of which is helpful information. I started to talk an interest in the Monavie Original product which was a juice that contained the Acai berry as one of its key ingredients.

I did find myself asking the question "how can someone make money from a product like this?" then I found myself learning about this Monavie business opportunity and how different people have made their fortunes from this product alone. The problem was how could so many people make money from a business opportunity with a company selling only a couple of products, most of which starts at around $40 per bottle.

After reading up on Magic Berry about the Monavie business opportunity I noticed not only was there 8 ways to potentially make money from this product line but it also showed to me that there is an easier way to make money. Sure you read heaps of sites about how "THIS REALLY WORKS.. BLAH BLAH BLAH" and I agree in most cases as you would be thinking "Yea right... AS IF THIS WOULD WORK!!!"

When I had finished reading what I could about the Acai berry and Monavie which appears to be a market leader when it comes to the Acai berry juices available on the market I soon learned and realised that it isnt so much a business opportunity but a way to make some money from referring friends, family and whoever else was interested in this great product and its unique features. I guess in some ways you could call it an affiliate marketing concept but you would be wrong, you are probably thinking "ok if it isnt another affiliate marketing concept, then it has to be a pyramid scheme..." Well guess again you are wrong!

The truth is Monavie offer a business opportunity based off of a lifestyle choice and at the same time uses a multi-level marketing concept to market this product. This choice is actually quite simple. You can do one of about 3 things. 1) Go down to the local supermarket and buy a "fuit juice" which is really just sugar water 2) you could go to the local fruit shed and buy all the ingredients to make yourself a fruit juice that you have seen a recipe for out of a recipe book or 3) you can make the best decision when it comes to a juice and do what myself and millions of other people have, which is purchase Monavie Original. While this is not just the best choice it is a lifestyle and smart health choice.

Now out of these 3 options I would have to say numbers 1 and 2 are not a wise choice. I would even have to say that option 3 is a good choice but not the smartest. Why? Monavie give you the opportunity to purchase Monavie and at the same time set yourself up for ways to make some extra money from promoting it to others by signing up as a distributor of Monavie. That is exactly what I have done. I get the benefits of signing up as a Monavie Distributor, I get a case of Monavie every month (4 Bottles) and I also get a discount on each order. Instead of paying the retail of $40 plus freight I get it for $30 per bottle plus friend which is usually about 10-15 dollars.

Monavie's opportunity has helped me out in this way and I can even see the potential income I could earn from this product. I would strongly recommend you check out the Magic Berry website and learn what you can about the Acai berry, it is very useful. Once you have read through the site I am sure you will find yourself wanting to sign up for Monavie at the very least if not sign up as a distributor of Monavie.

Good luck and have fun with learning about the Acai berry and the Monavie business opportunity.

The Acai Berry is the Worlds Healthiest Fruit

2008-03-21T00:41:00.001+10:00

First it was the beetroot which was then followed by the pomegranate and now it has turned to the Acai berry which is believed by many to be the worlds healthiest fruit. The main reasoning it has become a must have nutritional ingredient.

The Acai berry is a purple berry which has twice the cancer beating antioxidants than that of the blueberries and it is quickly becoming the most fashionable food in the US, where scientists have found that it destroys four-fifths of cancer cells.

Pronounced "Ah-sah-ee" this grape sized berry will become readily available in most countries within a matter of years. Currently it is available in a freeze dried form at specialist shops like some fruit sheds and other health stores. This is one berry that people do describe as the "Magic Berry."

The Acai berry is in the same position in the marketplace that coffee was some 10 years or so ago. The number of orders from people in the different countries it is available in is growing daily.

Acai berries also known as the Euterpe Oleracea contains the health giving omega 6 and 9 fatty acids which is rarely found in fruits. This same berry is low in calories and contains fibre, vitamins and calcium. Doctors are saying that they help to fight leukaemia and premature ageing. The Acai berry also helps increase libido. In a test carried out by the University of Florida results showed that the extracts from the Acai berry triggered a self destruct like response in up to 86 per cent of cultured leukaemia cells tested.

The environmental groups are fans of the fruit because it is providing an alternative industry to the tree clearing activities of logging and forestry in its native Brazil. The magic berry comes most commonly in a bottled juice.

The US is reportedly one of the biggest markets for this berry. The Acai berry juices and other acai based products have made a 2.5 million dollar a year business in this US Market. The biggest most singularly arguable point that the Acai berry has going for it is the nutritional benefits that it provides.

The more that people become aware of the products/foods they consume the more they are leaning towards making the Acai berry a part of their diets. The taste alone is something that has a big appeal to most people as it is not only distinctive but it also contains a nice tropical taste with a nice chocolate twist to it as well.

The Acai berry is one very versatile fruit that will appear in different foods like sorbets, puddings, sauces, milkshakes and even energy drinks.

What berry could possibly be magic?

2008-03-17T22:43:00.003+10:00

After a long time of hearing about the benefits of the various berries and other natural remedies it has all become quite confusing as to what is what and what works or doesn't work. I have spoken to many friends about these alternative options with the aim/in hope to find a solution to help find the right supplements for all of the important things that I miss on a day to day basis with my diet.

What determines my food consumption each day usually depends on how busy I am with work and whatever else is happening in my life. I must admit that after reading and learning what I could about the various berries from the amazon.

Well after reading all of these I walked away more confused than ever... Berries like Goji, Acai and other various berries that I have found on the internet are all so impressive. On my travels I found an interesting site that helped me out in a big way... This was the website from austraila called "Magic Berry". I suppose I should do the right thing and give you the address... Well here it is www.magicberry.com.au. I would have to say that I was most impressed by the information they had posted on there about the Acai berry.

The information was not only useful but I learned about Monavie, the marketing opportunity through the Monavie Business Opportunity and its inclusion of the Acai berry in to their products.

I am so glad I found it and the testimonials that I found on this site was also helpful. I have even signed up for the Monavie distributorship... Check it out I highly recommend this site for anyone!
