Acai and EFAs

Açaí is a good source of essential fatty acids, why is this important I hear you ask

Essential Fatty acids are beneficial in aiding in the transport and absorption of various fat-soluble vitamins i.e. Vitamins A, E, D, and K.

Here are the percentages for you

• 60% Oleic acid (Omega 9) which is a monounsaturated, essential fatty acid, Oleic acid can help lower LDL while maintaining HDL levels.

• 12% Linoleic acid (Omega 6) which is a polyunsaturated, essential fatty acid, has been found to lower both LDL and HDL levels .

High cholesterol levels particularly the LDL are a major health risk particularly in western cultures, luckily as you can see Açaí berries have a positive effect on aiding the reduction of these levels

Acai's healthy contents

Acai is plentiful in anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant that's been demonstrated to fight cholesterol and free radicals, consuming acai has been demonstrated to keep down blood related disorders and relax the blood vessels. It's in addition a great aid in preventing arthresclerosis and is a potent combatant of cancer.

To draw a comparison red wine is good for you because of the anthocyanin content from the grapes. the Acai berry has over 30 times the anthocyanin than any grape. Aside from anthocyanins, an added benefit of the acai berry is an acid called oleic acid which is very beneficial for the heart.

Oleic acid also keeps a cancer-causing oncogene from acting up, Acai is likewise good for anybody who has any kind of digestive conditions. Acai is good as a dietary supplement, it's very low in fat and cholesterol and all the same high in fibre.
