The Amazon Acai Berry

Fibromyalgia disease is characterized by symptoms like fatigue, tissue tenderness, muscle aches and chronic pain.  For many Fibromyalgia patients it is like saying the symptoms are all in your head.  Some recent studies have shown that Fibromyalgia may occur from cell metabolism malfunctioning or a break in cell communication system. This is true that if toxins in our bodies are not secreted the way they should, they deposit into our cell tissues causing inflammation and the pain most often felt by patients diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.

Free radicals and oxidative damage are often the root cause of toxins that enter into our tissues instead of being removed from our bodies. Free radicals damage the membranes of our cells and possibly even our DNA. These free radicals are developed in our bodies when we break down food or expose to environmental damages such as pesticides, pollution and even radiation.  Antioxidants like those found in the Acai berry have been said to help in lowering or even preventing the oxidation of our cells and recue free radicals.  A shortage of antioxidants in our diet may result in our cells becoming toxic and oxidized.

A common treatment for this illness is normally a type of anti-inflammatory or antidepressant sort of medication.  With the many side effects that come along with taking medications like these, many patient and health experts have begun to search for other options including the possibility of adding Acai to their diet.  The Acai berry grows in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil and contains many of the essential vitamins and nutrients our bodies need for proper functioning. Acai berry has one of the highest levels of anthocyanins and antioxidants among other fruits in the world. The antioxidants found in the Acai berry heal the oxidized cells and membranes thus improving communication between cells, one of the main causes of Fibromyalgia. The Acai berry may also reduce inflammation in the cells, joints and muscle tissues throughout the body and help to boost energy level. If our cells are healthier and better connected, they have a better chance at detoxifying thus reducing the amount of toxins released into our tissues and joints causing muscle pain.

The Acai berry is one of the fruits which have highest level of omega fatty acids. Omega fatty acids may not be of great interest for some people but this is a fact that they are vitally important to your health. Their most important function is that they help you to reduce the chances of coronary heart disease. However they are not limited to this only, they are also vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration. The fatty acids do this job by keeping the cell membranes supple and this helps all hormones and insulin receptors to function more efficiently. A low level of fatty acids causes inflammation and fast aging so you really need to increase the level you partake.

Acai comes in many forms like Juice, Capsules, Pills and Powder. Many people love to go for Acai powder as it can easily be consumed by mixing with water or other fresh fruit juices. A pure and good quality Acai powder has deep purple, its sticks to your hands and has a great flavor. Acai powder upon mixing with other juices causes and oily sheen on top of the liquid and this is due to Omega Acai berries have as nutrients. A good Acai powder does not contains sugar, caffeine, filter and preservatives, otherwise you won’t be able to get all the health benefits and nutrients that are associated with pure Acai berries.

I am taking a betablocker called Coreg & ACE Inhibitor called Benicar. I was wondering if drinking those juices will interact with my medications. Don’t ask me to ask that to my doctor because they know nothing about those juices. They know nothing about supplements or herbs so I wonder why they always say: “please check with your doctor before taking this supplement” LOL

“This is very much true that pomegranate and Acai berry juice both are helpful for our overall health. They are packed with nutrients, low dietary fatty acids and antioxidants and these all help you to control your blood pressure. You can take them with your blood pressure medicines but drink them in small quantities and diluted with water. Their regular use will help you to reduce some blockages and your blood pressure as well. You may be able to reduce your dose of pills that you use in normal routine to control your high BP. but be careful as you have to lower your BP that your body requires. A good research resource site is http://www.pubmed.gov.”

If I drink it on a daily basis?

“Yes you can take the Acai Juice on daily basis, there is no harm, but you do have to make sure that your Acai juice product contains the most minimum or no caffeine… a regular use of caffeine oriented Acai product will have side effects on your health. If you want significant consumption per day then you better go for Acai juice rather than Acai powder or capsule.

I have found the following Acai product dosage recommended…These are;

Acai Capsules: you can take 4-8 500mg Acai capsules of daily with a glass of water.

Acai Juice: you can take up to two tablespoons of Acai alone or can mix it in your other favorite fruit juice or shake.

Acai Tea:  it’s better to take 1/2 tea cups of Acai on a daily.

it’s also good that you better consult your doctor so you can adjust your other diet plan as well accordingly while you are using any Acai product.”
