What is the Acai Berry?

The Acai Berry is grown in the Amazon Rain Forest of Brazil on top of the Amazon Palm trees. Acai is pronounced ‘ah-sigh-ee’ and is dark purple in color, very similar to the blueberry. It is a relative of the blueberry, cranberry, and other dark purple fruits. The Acai is rated in the top of the ORAC scale, which is a measurement, pound per pound, of the amount of antioxidants. But that is not all that is in the Acai Berry, it is also rich in Omega oils (Omega 3, 6, and 9), and it is fiber rich, containing 45 grams of fiber per 100 grams of berries. It also contains 19 different amino acids and proteins that promote the growth and health of body tissues. It contains three various plant sterols that promote heart health and aids digestion, and it has amounts of vitamins B1, B2, B3, C and E. If that’s not enough, Acai also contains the essential minerals potassium, calcium, copper, magnesium and zinc. Wow it is really a super food.

What are the Benefits of the Acai Berry?

Research on the Acai Berry has focused on its possible antioxidant activity and this activity may help prevent diseases caused by oxidative stress such as heart disease and cancer. Acai contains several substances called anthocyanins and flavonoids. Anthocyanins and flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that help defend the body against life’s stressors. They also play a role in the body’s cell protection system. Free radicals are harmful byproducts produced by the body. Eating a diet rich in antioxidants may interfere with aging and the disease process by neutralizing free radicals and help reduce the risk of some diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.

Although acai is touted in some weight loss products, few studies have tested the benefit of the Acai Berry in promoting weight loss but people have testified of their ability to lose weight when using Acai Berry. For now, plenty of research supports eating a diet rich in antioxidants. There’s no doubt that berries and other fruits are a key part of any healthy diet promoting weight loss.

So what is the best Acai Berry Product? Naturally, Synergy Mistica.

Everyone will tell you that their Acai Berry product is the best. The best source of any fruit or vegetable is raw in its natural form. But that may only be possible for the people that live in the Amazon Rain Forest. So what is the next best? Well there are a lot of great Acai Berry products on the market so it may be hard to narrow it down to one. The juice form is always a better option than the pill form because of its ability to absorb into the body. So now we have narrowed it to a lot of Acai Berry juices. Many of these are sold through Network Marketing. Many have blended other products into the juice that just enhances the product even more. So this gives you a good start on which product to choose.

The choice is yours, choose wisely.

Many folks languish in patterns of re-solving old problems, so much so, that often times, they never actually solve them because they’ve turned the process into a singular static event. What does that mean? It means they get “stuck” in a pattern of bad habits, & thus it becomes part of their identity.  Often times they fall into the trap of blaming their own bad behavior & poor decisions on their past.

“I’ve always been this way”. Perhaps they blame genetics, “my parents were overweight”. Some cop out & blame it on their environment, “my friends smoked” or “we grew up poor”. In other words, they fall into the trap of being a victim. Are you a victim? Only if you allow yourself to be.

Truths that may be hard for some to swallow & difficult to face are:

“Your past does not equal your future” – Tony Robbins

Researchers now say that who you are is 10% genetic, & 90% behavior

The characteristics & behaviors of your family, friends, & peers are either a distinct warning sign of what NOT to do, or an example of what to do to be successful. Have you taken a good introspective look at who you hang with? Do you surround yourself w/ folks who are examples of where you want to be?

We all have a self determined level of “response-ability”

It’s been said “All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another” Anatole France

So let’s skip the “resolutions” & start living with intent & self development. Continue to evolve, making new choices, seeking coaches, mentors, new friends that are like minded & headed in the direction you want to pursue, that have already achieved the results you seek, asking for their guidance, & actually acting on what they share with you.

Most importantly, find out why your past does not equal your future.

The choice is yours. Choose wisely
