You may have heard of Acai Berry by now. It’s blown up in popularity recently as it was ranked Dr. Perrisome’s #1 Superfood on Oprah. According to Dr. Perrisome, "it’s one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world!" Acai Berry is considered a palm and is primarily grown in Central and South America, and is a major part of the diet in some communities in the Amazon region. So, what’s the deal? Why is Acai Berry so beneficial? Here are some of Acai Berry’s benefits:

"10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine," according to Dr. Perrisome
"Studies have demonstrated that blood antioxidant capacity increases within two hours of consuming a commercial açaí juice."
44.2g of fiber per 100g
Healthy fats, including oleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid

Basically, the reason Acai Berry is so hot is because of its antioxidant benefits and its ability to aid in weight loss. I don’t advocate any shortcuts to weight loss, but Acai Berry is 100% natural so there’s no reason you couldn’t make it a part of your regular diet. It contains a healthy mix of carbs, fats, and proteins.

Because of its antioxidant powers and fiber content, Acai Berry is the perfect ingredient for a colon cleanser and that could turn out to be its biggest benefit. Its powerful antioxidants will clean up your digestive tract while the fiber will help reduce water retention.

All and all, I’ve got to give credit to Oprah for ranking this the #1 superfood as she definitely hit the mark.
