Acai Berry Promotes Heart Health

It seems that South America may hold the secret to GREAT heart health.

They possess a berry worth noting.

And this tiny berry may be potent against heart disease.

Not by itself of course!

But a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, lean protein and fiber, and adding this amazing super fruit, may prove beneficial to your health - especially to your heart.

Let me explain…

Acai Berry

It may look like a dark purple grape.

And it may taste like a tropical berry.

But do not be fooled by the sweetness of this tiny super food.

The Acai berry may contain powerful antioxidants, which may be POWERFUL enough to DESTROY bad cholesterol.

Acai berries contain high levels of polyphenols called anthocyanins, which may be powerful antioxidants.

Anthocyanins may commonly be found in red wine.

Not only does Acai contain powerful antioxidants that may be capable of lowering cholesterol, these same antioxidants may be able to control inflammation.

And this may HALT the formation of pro-inflammatory cytokines that may be responsible for increased inflammation in YOUR BODY!

The Acai berry may be able to STOP the production of nitric oxide through a reduction of nitric oxide synthase.

This may improve the health of your endothelium by reducing levels of inflammatory cytokines from being released.

However, the following research I want to show you is AMAZING and may reinforce the POWER of the Acai berry.

The Research

Researchers wanted to determine if the antioxidants found in Acai berry can improve heart health.

The researchers fed 27 rabbits a cholesterol-rich diet for 12 weeks.

Then they supplemented the diets with either Acai or water (placebo) and continued the cholesterol-rich diet for an additional 12 weeks.

The results were SURPRISING.

The rabbits, who consumed Acai berry extract, decreased total cholesterol, triglycerides, and non-HDL cholesterol (LDL and VLDL).

They also noted smaller atherosclerotic plaques found in the aortas of rabbits fed the Acai berry extract.

They determined that Acai berry slowed the development of atherosclerosis in rabbits, and significantly improved blood lipid profiles.

This may give testament of the antioxidant power of Acai berry in regards to heart health and promotion of healthy blood lipid profiles.

The researchers concluded the benefits likely came from increased synthesis and absorption of the plant sterols.

Another POWERFUL Reason For Acai

Acai berry has been researched extensively due to its antioxidant powers.

There is a growing body of research showing the powers Acai berry may hold.

Now, there is an even better reason to include Acai berry into your diet.

Acai berry holds tremendous antioxidant power, which may prove beneficial for improving your heart health.

And, Acai berry may alter cholesterol levels (for the better) and reduce plaque in your arteries that may increase your risk for the development of heart disease.

This powerful fruit may contain a secret.

And this secret may be the key to better heart health and Longevity.
