For decades the Amazon tribes have been known to have nutritional secrets that help them stay healthy, both physically and mentally. One of their greatest and most important secrets is the acai berry. If you have browsed Google or looked at nutrition websites, you have most likely seen this berry mentioned. Most western countries however are only now beginning to discover the benefits of acai.

The acai berry is a Brazilian berry with a slight chocolate taste. Sounds too good to be true! The berry is small, round, and has a blackish-purple tint to it. So why is this berry only recently coming to be known? Simply, you can only find these berries on palm trees in the Amazon rainforest in South America. Not only are these berries nowhere near us, but they're on the very tip top of the palm trees! The Amazon tribes, for decades, have been using the berries for a variety of purposes.

Due to the various nutritional and healing properties of the acai berry, the Amazon tribes believe that it should be used to its full potential. For years, these tribes have been harvesting the acai berry as an antidote for various illnesses that they have encountered within the Amazon.

The acai berry provides sustenance partially due to its high levels of amino and fatty acids such as Omega 6 and 9. These fatty acids play an important role in your health and your diet. The berry also contains antioxidants that help to keep you from falling ill.

The health benefits do not stop there. This berry is loaded with more protein than you will ever find in an average egg and double the antioxidants of a blueberry. It also contains much needed vitamins such as vitamins E, C, B, B1 and B2. To top it off the acai berry also contains essential amounts of calcium, potassium, iron and phosphorus. All of this is packed into just one berry!

The various health and nutrition benefits of the berry have led to it being known as a complete super fruit, one of the most nutritious fruit on the earth! This berry can not only fill you up, it also helps to nourish both your body and mind. The berry provides a balanced nutrition that boosts energy levels and allows you to concentrate and focus more effectively on daily activities.

If you have cardiovascular troubles, and you need something that is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-mutagenic, then the acai berry is what you're after. The fatty acids found within the berry lowers cholesterol by replacing bad cholesterol with good cholesterol. Sounds a lot better than your everyday aspirin or bowl of oatmeal doesn't it?

This little acai berry really tops the list of nutritious foods. It can help detoxify not only your body but your mind as well. It might not be very popular now among Western countries, but as more and more Australians are discovering the benefits of drinking acai juice we will begin to see it appearing on the shelves in our local grocery stores. For now, you can simply find the berries online and at good grocery and health stores.
