You may already know that Acai is rich in antioxidants in general, but one group in particular, anthocyanins, are the attention grabbers of recent nutritional science deserving special attention.
Anthocyanins are the purple pigments that give Acai fruits, red grape skins and other dark berries their rich color.
Phytonutrients are in fact credited with a number of benefits in meeting the challenges of high cholesterol, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins and various other conditions including artery plaque buildup. The latest research shows that anthocyanins rival vitamins C and E in protecting your arteries.
The wonderful chemical we are discussing here does two amazing things for you at the same time. It has been proven to lower cholesterol levels and protecting the whole cardiovascular system. Plus it helps neutralize free radicals that are seeking to damage healthy cells in the body.
Perhaps the greatest news of all is that acai juice provides more anthocyanins than either blueberries or red grapes, two dark purple fruits that have already been studied extensively for their free radical destroying properties.
Acai may be one of the most valuable fruits helping you to maintain vibrant health and slowing the effect of aging.
