			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the hottest health and fitness supplements in the world is the acai berry.</p>
<p>It is one of the most powerful <a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/Acai-Berry-Side-Effects-and-Benefits" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://hubpages.com/hub/Acai-Berry-Side-Effects-and-Benefits');" target="_blank">antioxidants</a> on the planet and you can find them at virtually any store that carries vitamins now.  The problem with these “affordable” supplements is that there could be a lot of things wrong with them that could lead you to think bad things about acai berries.  Below are some things you need to consider when buying acai berry supplements at a store.</p>
<p>Let’s start with <a href="http://www.sassafrasstation.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.sassafrasstation.com/');" target="_blank">acai berry supplements</a> in a bottle.  There are two things you need to be concerned with here other than wondering if this is one of the <a href="http://www.louiseblog.com/supplements/best-diet-pills-for-women" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.louiseblog.com/supplements/best-diet-pills-for-women');" target="_blank">best diet pills for women</a>.  If you are shopping at a store like Walmart, you need to know that everything they buy is for profit.  This means they often buy large quantities of lower quality products because they are more profitable.  I’m not saying quality isn’t considered, but it isn’t the main thing considered when they buy anything.  On the other end, you have health food stores.  You will find high quality supplements, but you will also find high prices.  They don’t buy huge quantities so they can’t get the lowest prices.</p>
<p>The internet will usually offer better deals than you will find at your local health food store and even better than Walmart most of the time.  As long as you are dealing with a reputable company, you will get high quality supplements at low prices.  You can also get free trials sometimes, but make sure you pay attention to the details of the offer so you don’t get unexpected products.</p>
<p>The other type of acai berry supplement you will often find is juice.  You will find several high quality supplements in grocery stores now so there are definitely some options.  The problem is they are diluted.  I recently checked out a couple juices at the grocery store.  There was a pure acai berry juice that cost $7 for a 32 ounce bottle and a mixed juice that cost $5 for a 32 ounce bottle.  Amazon Thunder, one of the premium pure acai berry juices costs about $30 for a 32 ounce bottle.  We have to assume that each provides similar acai berry content per serving and the nutritional labels indicate that they are pretty close.  The difference is in serving size and true cost.  High quality acai berry puree is thick and has a serving size of one ounce and costs about $30.  Both of the juices from the grocery store have serving sizes of 8 ounces.  This means that only get 4 servings per bottle at the grocery store which makes the cost per serving $1.25 and $1.75 compared to a cost per serving of less than $1 for the premium bottle.</p>
<p>The juice blends are usually very good to drink.  They are watered down or diluted to the point that it is a good drink.  However, if you are looking for the health benefits of acai berries, you get a better product and a better deal if you stick with pure acai berry puree from Amazon Thunder.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you getting ready for a vacation in Australia and want to lose some weight and look great?  Do you just want to feel healthier and possibly live longer?  If so, you probably need to know more about the acai berry, the world’s most popular super-food.  More importantly, you will need to know how to get this shipped to your home in Australia.  Read on for specifics or head over to the <a href="http://www.acaiberrypill.info/acia-berry/where-to-buy-acai-berry-in-australia" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.acaiberrypill.info/acia-berry/where-to-buy-acai-berry-in-australia');" target="_blank">Acai Burn Australia</a> page right now and get your free trial of this great health supplement.</p>
<p>While the acai berry is relatively new to the outside world, it has always been popular where it grows.  It has been eaten by the local people in South America for centuries and helped them live amazingly healthy lives.  It is harvested twice a year from the acai palm tree.  It looks a little like a grape and grows in clusters of 700 to 900 berries.</p>
<p>The acai berry is considered one of the healthiest foods in the world because of the unique health benefits it can provide.  Acai berries have high levels of fiber which is really good for your general digestive system and can lead to weight loss.  It has beneficial omega fatty acids – the stuff that makes fish so healthy.  The antioxidants in the acai berry are probably the most important health benefit you can get from them.  They provide more antioxidants than any other practical food or health supplement.</p>
<p>By now, you probably have a pretty good idea if you want to try out acai berries or not.  If you choose to do that, there are several options for you.  One form of acai supplement is a juice.  You can also get it in a powdered form to mix with your health drinks, yogurt, or a bunch of other things.  If neither of them suits you, you can get it in a capsule supplement.  If you choose to go this route, you can get a free trial of several different supplements shipped to your Australian home.  You will have to pay for shipping, usually around $5, but other than that there aren’t any immediate costs.  You will set up for monthly shipments that won’t be free, but you can cancel those and never pay for anything other than the shipping costs.  If you decide you want to keep getting them, which you probably will, do nothing and they will be delivered to your door every month.</p>
<p>If you want to find out how you can get more free stuff in Australia, there are tons more things you can get including cash!  Check out the <a href="http://www.freebonusoffers.net/category/free-stuff-australia" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.freebonusoffers.net/category/free-stuff-australia');" target="_blank">free samples Australia</a> page for all the details.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are tons of reported health benefits for consuming acai berry supplements.  I want to go over a few quick benefits of this antioxidant food and then share the only negative I have been able to find.  There is science behind this article and I do quote the sources so you can verify what I say.</p>
<p>The main benefit of acia berries or their derived supplements is the high level of antioxidants they have.  Antioxidants in our bodies help neutralize free radicals which can damage our cells and cause tons of other problems.  Unfortunately, in the process of neutralizing the free radical, the antioxidant is consumed as well.  Continually replenishing these antioxidants is essential to maintaining a healthy body.</p>
<p>If you are going to take an antioxidant supplement, doesn’t it make sense to try to find the one that has the highest levels of antioxidants and take that one?  According to separate, independent studies, acai berries have been shown to have the highest level of antioxidants and have been shown to be absorbable by people.  There is more research that needs to be done since this super-food has only been in the spotlight for the last few years, but initial tests have verified that it can be very beneficial.</p>
<p>The main benefit comes from the antioxidant boost.  This should help you have more energy and feel healthier over all.  The acai berry is also high in fiber so you should also get the health benefits that go along with having a high fiber diet like regularity and possibly weight loss.  If you combine this with a healthy diet and exercise program, you should see really good results when you step on the scale.</p>
<p>As far as <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Acai-Berry-Side-Effects-and-Benefits&amp;id=2406688" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://ezinearticles.com/?Acai-Berry-Side-Effects-and-Benefits&amp;id=2406688');" target="_blank">acai berry side effects</a>, the main thing I have been able to find is reported cases of loss of appetite.  If you are looking for a weight loss supplement, this would make it ideal.  If, however, you want to gain weight, this may not be a good thing for you.  The biggest thing is to make sure you are aware of this potential so you can be prepared if it happens to you.  There could also be an issue of food allergy, but this can be said for virtually any food or supplement so you should always try new things in a controlled way.  I verified on WebMD that there aren’t any known side effects except for the possibility of allergy.  For me, I can live with these side effects.</p>
<p>The information shared above was primarily gathered from Science Daily website at sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/10/081006112053.htm which indicates that the antioxidants in acai are absorbable by humans and the Orac Values website at oracvalues.com/sort/orac-value which indicates the acai berry is surpassed only by 5 spices and grasses which are not really consumable as a dietary supplement.  You can also find out more about the <a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/acaiberryscam" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://hubpages.com/hub/acaiberryscam');" target="_blank">acai berry scam</a> by clicking the link.  So you are ready, there really isn’t anything to worry about, but the article tells you the whole story.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>For some time now a lot has been written about the Acai. And obviously there are enormous health and nutritional benefits that come with this fruit.</span> It really is an excellent source of antioxidants but, and there is always a but, there is no such thing as &#8220;super food&#8221;.</p>
<p>It is always a good idea to go back to the old adage: If it is too good to be true, then it is too good to be true&#8221;.</p>
<p>As with any type of food, and just about everything else in life,  you have to find a balance with things; all extremes fail.  And the Acai fruit is no exception. It is good for you as a part of your diet.  It doesn&#8217;t replace everything else and equally important is the fact that it isn&#8217;t the solution for everything.</p>
<p>There has been a lot of talk about its dieting and weight loss benefits.  Well in very simple terms, this has not been proved.</p>
<p>It is an excellent source of fiber, amino acids and heart healthy fatty acids that aid in digestion.  As part of a healthy diet it is highly recommended.  As a stand alone dieting solution it does leave a lot to be desired, not because it has faults, but because nature doesn&#8217;t work that way.</p>
<p>So in simple terms:</p>
<ul>
<li>Don&#8217;t believe everything you read.</li>
<li>Yes, the Acai is good for your overall health.</li>
<li>No, it is not THE solution to everything.</li>
</ul>
