If you watch the Oprah show, then you've probably heard of the Acai Berry. One of her guests, Dr. Perricone, a well-known dermatologist listed the Acai Berry as one of his Top 10 Super Foods. It is the product of a palm tree only found in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. This acai berry is purple in color and was found to have powerful antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. How does Acai (which is pronounced ah-sigh-ee) taste? They say that it tastes like a mixture of berry and chocolate which sounds good to me. This berry which looks like the blueberrry as you can see in the photo, has been said to carry antioxidants which is ten times more than those of the grapes and two times than blueberries. Since the Acai berry is rich in antioxidants, amino acids, fatty acids, it can also help in weight loss by increasing metabolism and energy. This berry also contains a lot of fiber which we know is good for weight loss and over all health. That's why the acai berry diet is gaining popularity among people who want to lose weight. The minerals found in the Acai berry helps the efficient burning of body fat. As of now, there are no known side effects with this type of diet.
