The acai berry was voted the number one superfood on Oprah - and when things hit Oprah, that usually means they’re in for a quick rise to fame. But the acai berry has been around for thousands of years, and has already gained popularity in Central and South America. It recently hit health food store shelves in the US and is receiving acclaim for a good reason.
The antioxidant content is 10 times more potent than that of red grapes. We hear a lot about antioxidants, because they’re known for fighting the free radicals that accumulate thanks to a number of things - from the body’s natural processes to environmental pollution, to smoking and the synthetic chemicals in our food and water. These “contaminants” in our body can reduce cell function, sometimes causing the cell to actually die - and are thought to be the primary cause of aging. The acai berry antioxidants are among the most powerful of anti-aging supplements, as it contains the life-giving nutrients that help prevent degeneration.
Other notable anti-aging antioxidants include the goji berry, bee pollen, blue/green algae, chlorella, and spirulina.
