All About The Acai Berry
March 12th, 2010The acai berry was basically unknown in the United States until it was shown on the Orpah Show several years ago. It is full of vitamins and minerals, and people claim that it removes wrinkles caused from aging. You can eat it, or drink it as a juice. It is being used in many lotions, perfumes and creams.
The acai berry grows in Central and South America on the acai palm. This palm tree grows fast, and it is able to produce two crops annually. The fruit has a large seed and measures one inch across the center. The people in the Amazon part of Brazil eat the acai berry, and it makes up approximately42% of their diet.
One of the greatest benefits of the acai berry is the enormous number of antioxidants that it has. Antioxidants help defend the body from the free radicals in the cells. The free radicals are caused by sunlight, air pollution, cigarette smoke, alcohol and stress. If they are left in the cells unchecked they cause illness and aging.
The acai berry is being used to fight cancer and the aging process. Among many other things it is known to improve vision, increase energy, boost the immune system and promote weight loss.
The acai berry has one big disadvantage. It spoils very quickly after it is picked. The berry only stays fresh one day. In order to make this fruit available on the market, it has been made into juice, supplements and powder. It has a taste of berries and chocolate and is very delightful to eat.
Did you know that you can buy acai berry beauty perfume and night cream? It has become one of the most purchased skin products on the market because of the antioxidants and nutrients that it contains. These products continue to grow in popularity every month.
To use the cream, clean your face thoroughly, and dry it well. Put the cream with acai berry on your neck and face before you get in bed. Throughout the night the cream will penetrate into the skin and the antioxidants will free the skin of the free radicals inside of the cells. Within six to eight weeks you should begin to see results.
Olive oil is a special ingredient in this cream for night use because it lets the cream seep down into the levels of the skin. This is important because it allows the antioxidants in the acai berry to get down deep into the cells. The acai skin and beauty products will help remove wrinkles and make your skin soft.
