The Benefits of Acai and What Makes the Acai Berry a Superfood

Posted by Thinker on Aug 19, 2009 in Thinkable

The Acai Berry was first used by the tribes of the Amazon jungle as a cure for various ailments. The Acai Berry is a palm fruit, which is traditionally pulped to make wine that is rich in minerals. This Acai Berry is smaller in size than a grape and is produced in clusters by the Acai palm trees called Euterpe oleracea. The Acai Berry contains similar properties as red wine in controlling fats in the blood and is a fair contributor to go up against the wine diets of the Mediterranean people.

Acai Berry was featured on ABC News as the amazing rainforest fruit that was off the chart with benefits. Today there are a lot of health drinks that contain acai berries or a concentrated extract of the acai berry fruit. Acai Berry is a source of a particular class of flavonoids called anthocyanins. Acai Berry is also an excellent source of dietary fiber, is also a rich niacin source and has an ORAC value (a measure of its antioxidant properties) that is higher than any other edible berry on the planet. Acai Berries are an excellent anti-oxidant and also boost energy levels, cleans and detoxify the body of infectious toxins, and improve circulation as well as facilitating weight loss. Acai Berries have more proteins than one average egg!

Acai Berry, in it’s many forms increases energy, libido and stamina. Benefits of Acai are, among other things, that it promotes healthy, glowing skin and hair, acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory, and helps rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit. Acai Berry increases energy, improves digestion, improves mental focus and enhances sleep. Acai Berry users also report pain relief, increased recovery from injury and trauma, increased strength, andalleviation of depression symptoms.

Acai Berry ingredients have been introduced into other products like bars and health snacks to be sold at gyms and health spas. Currently there are many companies capitalizing on the popularity of the Acai Berry and providing various Acai products containing this proclaimed Superfood. This is because one gram of freeze-dried Acai powder is equivalent to around six grams of fresh Acai berry.

Some say the Acai Berry tastes like a blueberry with a chocolate flavoring. As the Acai Berry comes from the Amazon, manufacturers use different ways to ship them to their manufacturing plants to be made up into supplements, but only freeze dried Acai retains the maximum of original nutritional content. The Acai Berry is a one-stop-shop for health benefits and it tastes great. You can’t beat that combination.

Great Frisco Personal Trainer

Posted by Thinker on Aug 19, 2009 in Thinkable

My Frisco personal trainer is wonderful! I never knew that there were so many ways to work out. It’s gotten to the point that it’s a running joke. Every time I see her, which is three times a week, she has at least one or two exercises we’ve never done before. I honestly never know what to expect during our sessions. She’s so creative and keeps me guessing as to what we’ll attempt next. I find myself looking forward to our sessions together. It’s a great workout and a fun learning experience.

I work from home, but I still stay extremely busy. Being able to have my Frisco personal trainer come to me is definitely ideal for my situation. It’s not always easy for me to squeeze in time for the gym, so I appreciate this brilliant concept from Lady Trainers To Go. My personal trainer in Frisco and I train during the middle of the day, which is a perfect break from work. It also energizes me to finish up the day. My focus is stronger, which allows me to accomplish so much more than I would if I didn’t exercise. It’s also the best de-stressor I’ve ever found. After an hour of sweating it out with my personal trainer, I feel all the stress I had built up melt away. The funny thing is, I reached my goals long ago, but the training has helped improved my attitude towards work so much that I don’t think I’ll ever stop using Lady Trainers To Go! Check out their personal trainer Frisco video on their website.
