Acai Benefits
Açaí is very well-known for its health-boosting properties, which is why it has become so popular and is exported around the world. It is rich in Vitamin Am which is beneficial to sight and skin. It has a good amount of calcium and many other minerals, like Zinc and Manganese.
Anthocyanins, the same compound that gives açaí and many other dark blue and purple foods their color, also gives it the antioxidant properties it has. Anthocyanins are also generally known to lower the levels of bad cholesterol. Another benefit açaí has been found to have is a negative effect on the formation and spread of cancer cells.
As if all that weren’t enough, açaí may also have a positive effect on brain function due to its antioxidant properties that can protect our brain cells from oxidation. Studies performed on lab rats showed that açaí stimulated the toxin sweep that the brain performs to stay sharp.
