WHAT ARE THE REAL BENEFITS OF ACAI BERRY?

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities of different foods.  Foods with higher ORAC values are more effective in fighting the damages of daily living caused by free radicals. 

The ORAC rating for acai berry is even higher than that of pomegranate and blueberries!

Why is the ORAC score so important?

Because oxygen free radicals put your body in a state of constant turmoil.  What happens is, any kind of stress we subject our bodies to produces oxygen free radicals.  Everything from breathing to exercise, from polluted air to stressful events to an unhealthy diet – all produce free radicals.  Free radicals quite simply are atoms – which we are all made up of – that become unstable. Electrons are depleted due to stress and when that happens, they try to steal an electron from another molecule. When they succeed, it creates another free radical and the process starts all over again.  So you see, this chemical reaction that is taking place in our bodies is always in a conflict to stabilize. As a result, numerous diseases and health issues are realized.  In order to stablize free radicals we need to supply our bodies with antioxidents!  Antioxidants supply the extra electron the stressed atom desperately wants and needs. Antioxidants enable free radicals to stabilize to their natural state of balance and harmony.  Many scientists agree that damage by oxygen free radicals is behind many of the maladies that come from aging, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. And recent evidence suggests that diminished brain function associated with aging and disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease may be due to increased vulnerability to free radicals.  In fact, studies at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Research Center On Aging at Tuft's University in Boston suggest that consuming foods with a high ORAC value may help slow the aging process in both mind and body. 

Have you ever heard of the French Paradox? The French are known to consume a heart clogging diet of cheese, sugar, coffee and white flour - yet have a very low rate of heart disease.  This is believed to be due to their significant consumption of red wine and the anthocyanins it contains.  Anthocyanins give plants and fruits their vibrant color and act as sunscreen. The strong sunlight of South America produces tremendous ultra-violet light stress which triggers free radicals to form in the fruit. Acai develops high levels of Anthocyanins because of their high antioxidant properties which stabilize the free radicals.

Acai berries have 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine!

Facts about the Acai Berry: 

Acai Berry (Euterpe Oleracea): The acai berry or acai fruit (ah-sigh-ee) grows on acai palms in the Amazon Rainforest and is similar to a grape in size, shape and properties.  The acai palm is commonly known as the “tree of life” by the locals.  Acai berries are considered to be one of the most nutritious (antioxidant) fruits of the Amazon Rainforest and the native peoples have been consuming the berries for hundreds, maybe even thousands of years.  The acai berry itself is 88-90% seed and 10%-12% pulp and skin.  Acai must be carefully harvested and processed before it can be made into a juice, as it is very sensitive to the effects of the sun after picking.  Acai berries offer up a delicious tropical berry flavor and have an exceptional nutritional profile.  Acai berries contain high levels of antioxidants (polyphenols), essential fatty acids (healthy fats), amino acids, fiber, minerals (iron and calcium), vitamins (B and E), and a plethora of beneficial phytonutrients like resveratrol and anthocyanins.  Acai berries also have one of the highest ORAC values of any known edible berry and 33 times more health promoting anthocyanins than red grapes.

Acai berries are composed of these substances:

1. Amino Acids: Acai berries contain an almost perfect essential amino acid complex.  Amino acids present are: tryptophan, threonine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, cystine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, valine, arginine, histidine, alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, Glycine, proline, serine, hydroxyproline (1-4% total protein).  Amino Acids are vital for proper muscle contraction, regeneration, endurance, strength, sustained energy and muscle development.  Amino Acids are also used by the liver for detoxification and in the formation of immune complexes.

2. Phytosterols: Beta Sitosterol is the primary plant sterol, also known as a phytosterol in the acai berry.  Plant sterols or phytosterols are common components of plant foods, especially plant oils, seeds and nuts, grains and beans.  Clinical studies have confirmed the efficacy of beta sitosterol in lowering plasma LDL levels and improving urinary symptoms related to prostate enlargement.  Beta Sitosterol has also been studied in the areas of cancer treatment and prevention.

3. Antioxidants: are intimately involved in the prevention of cellular damage -- the common pathway for cancer, aging, and a variety of diseases.  This pathway is caused by, “Free Radicals.” Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with an odd (unpaired) number of electrons and can be formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules.  Once formed these highly reactive radicals can start a chain reaction, like dominoes.  Their chief danger comes from the damage they can do when they react with important cellular components such as DNA, or the cell membrane.  Cells may function poorly or die if this occurs.  To prevent free radical damage the body uses a defense system of antioxidants. Common antioxidants are vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene.

4. Essential Fatty Acids: Acai Berries have two of the three so called, Essential Fatty Acids or (EFA’s), Omega 6 (Linoleic Acid) and Omega 9 (Oleic Acid). They are essential because the body can not manufacture them on its own; EFA’s must be consumed via food. “The overall quality of our health and life is directly proportional to the levels of EFA’s in our bodies” (Dr. E). The EFA profile of the Acai berry closely resembles that of olive oil. Olive oil has been linked to the low incidences of cardiovascular disease (lowering cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL levels) and cancer in those consuming, “The Mediterranean Diet.”

5. Minerals: Acai berries contain a variety of minerals such as, calcium, iron, and phosphorus along with trace minerals such as, chromium, cobalt, copper, molybdenum.

Acai - Nature's Energy Fruit

Superfood No. 1: Acai berries (Euterpe Oleracea)

"It may seem odd to start this list of super-foods 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)….

"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." - N.V. Perricone, M.D.

Other Research on Acai juice and Acai Berries:

Acai, in the form of a specific freeze-dried acai fruit pulp, has been shown to have mild ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes COX-1 and COX-2, with more effect on COX-1 (Schauss et al., 2006b). These enzymes are important in both acute and chronic inflammation, and are targeted by many of the anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs). Additionally, lower concentrations (but not higher concentrations) of the freeze-dried pulp were found to be slightly stimulating to macrophages in vitro. Macrophages are white blood cells that are an important part of the immune system of the body. Also in macrophages, freeze-dried acai pulp was found to inhibit the production of nitric oxide that had been induced by the potent inflammatory inducer lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is part of the cell membrane of certain bacteria (Schauss et al. 2006b). This effect increased as the concentration of the acai increased. This suggests again the potential for an anti-inflammatory effect of acai, although requires more research.

In 2006, a study performed at the University of Florida showed that acai fractions containing polyphenolics could reduce proliferation of HL-60 leukemia cells in vitro. This was most likely due to increased rapid cell death (apoptosis) as fractions were also found to activate caspase-3 (an enzyme important in apoptosis) which was inversely correlated to cell death. (Pozo-Insfran et al., 2006). This is a very preliminary study, but indicates a need for more research on the possible anti-cancer effects of acai.

Due to its deep pigmentation, orally-administered acai has been tested as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging of the gastrointestinal system (Cordova-Fraga et al., 2004). Its anthocyanins have been characterized for stability as a natural food coloring agent (Del Pozo-Insfran et al., 2004).
