What is Acai Berry (written by RioLife)
The Acai Berry (pronounced Ah-Sigh-Ee) is a deep purple palm berry that grows high in the tree tops of the Amazonian Rainforest. A staple for the local Indians for centuries it has recently gained popularity through Australia and the US with many hot celebrities becoming obsessed with this amazing fruit and with good Reason.
RioLife Acai is one of the few fruits on the planet that has never been farmed or tampered with by humans. It still grows just the way nature intended, organically, it’s no wonder the berry are so healthy and so good for you. Acai Berry is wild harvested sustainably helping preserve the forests whilst providing an income for its people.
What are the benefits of taking Acai Berry? 
Acai Berry’s are very high in Antioxidants which can help fight free radicals that damage our cells. Free radicals are formed by poor eating, stress on the body, pollution, even heavy exercise and believe it or not our body produces its own free radicals. In particular Acai Berry contains Anthocyanins and Proanthocynanins also found in red wine, and are renowned for its protective effects on blood vessels leading Acai to be described by some as the #1 food for anti aging.
Acai provides an amazing source of sustained energy with heart healthy omega 3, 6 and 9 (the good for you) essential fatty acids and virtually no sugar!
With a low GL (glycemic load) energy is slowly released into the system giving you more stable energy throughout your day.
Acai also contains other essential vitamins and minerals along with plenty of fibre, 1 serve being similar to having a slice of wholegrain bread!
Weight loss- There has been a lot of hype around Acai being used for weight loss, while we don’t pitch Acai as your one stop miracle weight loss solution (Healthy lifestyle and exercise is always important) many of our customers have benefitted greatly with weight loss and weight management incorporating the Acai berry into their diets due mainly to the fact that you can get an incredible whole food nutritional source of energy with virtually no sugar when you eat Acai and lets face it a healthy diet leads to a healthy body!
Other incredible health benefits reported from Acai have been better sleep, improved eyesight, pain relief and even increased sex drive!
How is Acai different to other “superfoods”? From a health benefits perspective we would have to talk about its very high antioxidants in fact Acai has one of the highest known ORACS (antioxidant levels) of any fruit even higher than Goji berries.
The Acai Berry only comes from its first origins deep within the Amazon rainforest, some have tried growing in other parts of the word but simply, it is very difficult to replicate the Amazon it is a unique resource of this planet and we are for ever grateful it has given us such fruits as Acai. It really is no surprise this little berry has so much nutritional value.
This all combines to make it truly nature’s perfect antioxidant, energy food.
