26 Reasons to Drink Acai
Berry Complex
The grouping of delicious nutrients
in acai berry complex provides your body with the needed essentials daily. The
following key relates to the types of fruits in the acai berry complex that
pertain to each of the
26 reasons as noted below:
Acai Berry - A
Lycium (Wolfberry) - L
Cranberry
- C
Grape - G
Pomegranate - P
Blueberry / Bilberry - B
Other Berries, Fruits - O
1. Protects Cells
Acai berry complex protects the body's cells from pathogens, antigens and
carcinogens. The body recognizes these nutrients and adapts them to protect
and strengthen the immune system. -- (A, L, C, G, P, B)
2. Scavenges for Free Radicals
Antioxidants inhibit oxidative damage. "Scientists now believe that free
radicals are causal factors in nearly every known disease, from heart disease
to arthritis to cancer and cataracts. In fact, free radicals are a major
culprit in the aging process itself." Lester Packer, Ph. D., "The
Antioxidant Miracle" -- (A, L, G, P, B)
3. Strengthens Cell Membrane
Allows blood / brain
barrier transmission while strengthening cell membranes. All cell membranes
need to protect against the unwanted entrance of pathogens. -- (All)
4. Builds Proteins
The body needs to assimilate amino acids into protein (our cellular
building blocks) and this juice delivers an array of amino acids. -- (A, L, G,
O)
5. Restores
Antioxidant Number
Many antioxidants become weakened or are destroyed (i.e., vitamins C and
E) but powerful antioxidants repair and strengthen the whole antioxidant
network. -- (A, L, P, B)
6. Strengthens Immune System
The immune system is under attack - it is overworked. Powerful free
radical scavengers help strengthen the lymphocytes and leukocytes, helping the
communication process, thereby helping the body rid itself of these pathogens.
-- (A, L, C, G, P, B)
7.
Enhances Cellular Communication
It is vital for cells to communicate properly. Healthy sugars and
polysaccharides are essential. -- (A, L, G, B)
8. Strengthens Nervous System
From the brain to the smallest nerve ending, this physiological
(electrical) process needs energy for proper synaptic responses that quality
food delivers. -- (A, L, G, P)
9. Helps Reduce Risk of Cancer
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals before they can damage cellular DNA,
a crucial step in the formation of cancer and tumor cells. -- (A, L, G, P)
10. Relieves Inflammation
Several compounds found in these fruits, including betasitosterol and
essential fatty acids, are powerful anti-inflammatory agents. Chronic
inflammation is linked to dozens of debilitating health conditions. -- (A, L,
G, P, B)
11. Impedes NRS
Free Radicals
Research suggests that OPCs from richly pigmented red-purple fruits, such
as blueberries and grapes, may restrict certain oxidants including
nitrogen-reactive species. -- (C, B, and especially G)
12. Fights Bacteria
The battle for health is at the molecular level. In all of these fruits
and berries there are protectants and astringents (from the flavones,
flavonoids, isoflavanoids) that kill bacteria. -- (A, L, C)
13. Fights Viruses
A virus is 1000 times smaller than a bacterium. It works by attacking
anything - it can enter a cell and damage it completely. The virus actually
fills the cell with itself. This leads to a host of debilitating and
degenerative diseases. -- (A, L, G, P, B)
14. Provides Essential Oils
Oils are an array of incredibly small particles that bind with other
nutrients and transport them through membranes. Our bodies would not work
without them. They not only transport, but contain phytochemicals themselves.
-- (A, L, O)
15. Combats
Effects of Diabetes
Many constituents of these fruits may help the body regulate blood sugar
and strengthen the pancreas. -- (A, L, P, O)
16. Strengthens Vision
Zeaxanthin and Lutein strengthen and protect the eye - inhibiting
glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts. -- (A, L, G, P, O)
17. Increases Mental Clarity
It is vastly important to get the proper nutrients in a transport system
that allows the cells to receive and use them. The brain cell membranes are
very protective (thankfully), but they are under attack 24/7 and need
strengthening. -- (A, L, G, P, O)
18. Provides Essential Fatty Acids
This vital part of our diet allows for the transport of nutrients (fuel)
in and out of the cell. -- (A, O)
19. Stabilizes Proper Cholesterol Levels
Plant steroids help the process of cholesterol regulation. -- (C, G, P, B)
20. Helps Prostate
Plant steroids (phenolic compounds) cleanse and strengthen the prostate.
-- (A, L, C, G, P)
21.
Strengthens the Heart
Many of these phytoceuticals strengthen the heart muscles, strengthen
blood vessel walls and inhibit platelet formation (atherosclerosis) helping
prevent edema, strokes, and heart failure. -- (A, L, P, B, O)
22. Fights Cellular Mutation
The powerful antioxidants (water-soluble) enter the cell and float in the
liquids, attacking free radicals and other pollutants, including parasitic
waste. They protect both the nucleic DNA and the mitochondrial DNA. -- (All)
23. Inhibits Platelet Aggregation and Clotting
The polyphenols in these fruits can inhibit the clotting activity of blood
cells. Also, the antioxidant effect of many polyphenols protects lipids from
oxidation in the bloodstream, which further reduces risk of clots and plaque
buildup. -- (A, L, G, P, B)
24. Helps Digestion
Plants carry with them their own enzymes. This helps the body (1) readily
make these nutrients available, and (2) allows other body enzymes to work
elsewhere. Plant nutrients (phenols) are anti-ulcer, anti-acid-reflux, and
help the whole digestion, absorption, and waste elimination process. -- (A, L,
C, G, P, O)
25.
Strengthens Memory
A long list of diseases are now associated with free radicals, none more
insidious than those that cause dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease,
etc. Good cells die from lack of proper nutrition. The ABC grouping of
phytonutrients helps this battle. -- (A, L, C, G, P, B, O)
26. Host of Benefits
From fighting E-Coli in the bladder (B), to fighting infections (A, C, P,
B); from strengthening blood cells to helping the skin convert sunlight to
vitamin D (All): OUR BODIES NEED THE PAN-SYSTEMIC HEALING HELP OF THESE PLANT
NUTRIENTS.
