ACAI BERRIES
Health Benefits
- Loaded with Antioxidants
Acai berries have an incredibly high amount of antioxidants, edging out other antioxidant-rich fruits like blueberries and cranberries.The antioxidant content of foods is typically measured by an Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) score.In the case of acai, 100 grams of frozen pulp has an ORAC of 15,405, whereas the same amount of blueberries has a score of 4,669.This antioxidant activity comes from a number of plant compounds in acai, including anthocyanins - Improve Cholesterol Levels
Animal studies have suggested that acai could help improve cholesterol levels by decreasing total and LDL cholesterol and it’s possible that it could have a similar effect in humans.A 2011 study had 10 overweight adults eat acai smoothies twice daily for one month. Overall, they had lower total and “bad” LDL cholesterol at the end of the study.However, there were a few drawbacks to this study. It was small, had no control group and received its funding from a primary supplier of acai.While more research is needed, it’s possible that the anthocyanins in acai could be responsible for their positive impact on cholesterol levels, since studies have linked this plant compound to improvements in HDL and LDL cholesterol
