Antioxidant
Now, there is a new antioxidant on the block. It is called the açaí.
 This little palmberry, growing wild in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, packs an amazing health punch. In fact, natives of Brazil have been eating acaí for centuries, typically grinding it into a pulp to eat for breakfast or as an energizing snack.
Açaí is a high energy berry that comes from a tall, thin Amazonian palm, the Acaizeiro. The Acaizeiro grows wild in the Amazon Rainforest and produces about 6-8 clusters of berries, with each cluster holding more than 5 lbs of açaí palmberries. When ripe, the açaí berry is dark purple.
"Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it  nature's perfect energy fruit. It is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids.
Studies have shown that açaí is one of the healthiest and most powerful foods in the world." Açaí is a small berry with a hearty taste that some describe as a mix between berries and chocolate. Deep purple in color, açaí is extremely rich in the very same antioxidants found in red wine.
These strong antioxidants go to battle against free-radical molecules that invade the body, helping to combat premature aging and even help prevent serious diseases like heart disease. In fact, açaí contains 10-30 times the antioxidants found in red wine! Açaí also contains an almost perfect complex of amino acids and vital trace minerals, elements that are essential to proper muscle contraction and regeneration. Plus, açaí has a synergy of omega 6 and 9 fatty acids: the healthy, monounsaturated type of fat that can help reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol.
Like most berries, açaí berries are also a healthy source of natural fiber, good for the cardiovascular system and digestive tract health. Dr. Perricone is the author of the best selling title “The Perricone Promise.” Named the açaí berry Top 10 Superfoods for Anti-Aging.
The benefits from eating healthy are endless. And, according to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, some foods can be eaten to help you look and age better! At the top of the list is the acai fruit from the Amazon forest.
The acai berry is especially noteworthy for the antioxidant properties afforded by its concentration of anthocyanin -- which is also present in red wine -- that prevents oxidants from harming connective tissue while repairing damaged proteins in blood vessel walls. This helps explain the “French Paradox.” The French, who are noted wine drinkers, have one of the lowest incidences of heart disease of any westernized society despite a diet high in cholesterol and saturated fat.
 Acai berry juice is the foundation of the Monavie drink. For the past ten years the açaí berry has been studied by scientists globally. It has been scientifically proven to work dramatically and rapidly as an incredible natural remedy and cure for ailments such as inflammation, arthritis, cardiovascular health as well as many other nutritional deficiencies. Monavie contains 18 other fruits as well. Monavie Juice also has Celadrin and Glucosamine.
