Do you believe in the benefits of Vitamin Water? November 20th, 2008 | acai benefits | 4 Comments »

I am addicted to XXX Acai-blueberry-pomegranate. It is not only because of what it says that it does, I just think that it is a beverage that is not too sweet. Do you believe in its benefits?

Vitamin water is a new way to give your body all important vitamins and keep it hydrate at the same time. Vitamin Water makes our drinking habits better.

What actually Vitamin Water is and how it helps you? Vitamin Water is actually a beverage that has all of the vitamins added. It is made up of distilled water, fructose sweetener, a series of electrolytes, fresh fruit flavors and with vitamins including Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin E. some other ingredient can be added to Vitamin Water, but it merely depend for what purpose it is being used. It has great affects on our body by giving it ability to absorb vitamins at a faster rate. Vitamin Water is very good for those who do regular exercises. It is true that if your body fails to absorb the vitamins then they’ll just pass through your body and come out in your urine.

The problem associated with Vitamin Water is the number of calories it contains, may be equal to one serving of Soda. Each bottle of Vitamin Water contains about 100 — 125 calories as well as about 25-30 g of sugar. That’s why vitamin Water is not recommended to users who do not make regular exercises.

If you’re consuming more than 2 Vitamin Waters per day then you’re probably consuming too many calories from liquids. the best way to consume the Vitamin drink is in conjunction with regular vitamin supplementation, as opposed to being consumed as a sole vitamin supplement.”

Acai Berry Vs Goji Berry. November 19th, 2008 | acai benefits | 2 Comments »

I’ve been doing a lot of research on which is better between the Acai berries and Goji berries. I’ve searched sites and all seem to be providing incomplete info about them. I would like people that have used them to compare. If possible stating the benefits (from experience) from each / either one.

“Acai and Goji berries are more or less same type of fruits. Both Acai berry and Goji berry are said to be two superfruits full of many nutrients. The comparison between Acai and Goji can be made on the basis that both fruits provide richest amount of Antioxidants. Both are said to be superfruits with amazing health properties. Goji and Acai berries have been used for medical purposes over centuries in their native harvesting regions. both fruits have rapidly growing markets especially in western world.

Your choice either to go with Acai or Goji mostly depends on what you are trying to gain from them. Acai is supposed to be greatest antioxidants, however being made from concentrate is not ideal. If you can get frozen Acai at source that is apparently best.”

Both Acai and Pomegranate fruits are full of antioxidants and nutrients. Pomegranate has its long roots of clinical history, while Acai berry is relatively a new fruit which came outside Brazil after 1990s. The small size Acai berry fruit acts as energy booster.

Does Amazon Acai berry consumption contribute to the destruction of the Amazon? November 4th, 2008 | acai benefits | 1 Comment »

I keep hearing about all the nutritional benefits of this berry, but know that they are harvested from a certain tree in the Amazonian rainforest. If I purchase products that contain these berries or their extracts, am I harming the environment or do they grow these trees on farms to harvest the berries?

“No its completely wrong that more consumption of Amazon Acai berries will cause the destruction to the wonderful land of Amazon. The environment experts do believe that the rainforest of Amazon are so huge and vast that that could have wonderful effects on the climate especially on global warming and GHG emissions.

The great facts about Amazon rainforests are that before 1990s the villages of Amazon were forced to cut the Acai palm trees to sell their timber to earn more which was adversely effecting the Amazon climate and rate of harvested area, but after 1990s with the discovery of Acai berries big multinational giants started investing in Amazon Acai harvesting business; they build up new factories to process fresh Acai berries and shared a significant amount of their profit with the harvesters which encouraged them to harvest more Acai and less cutting down of Acai palm. The other fact about Acai berry is that Acai berries are picked up from their palm trees so there are no chances of harm to Amazon. There are organized and well established groups and companies that collect the Acai in the forest, preserving the nature. The more consumption of Amazon Acai berries will help the people of Amazonas state (and others) to live better and to get money, in peace with the nature and the forest.”
