Acai and Anti-Aging

#1 Food for Anti-Aging?

Studies at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston suggest that consuming fruits and vegetables with a high ORAC value may help slow the aging process in both body and brain.

Scientists agree that damage by oxygen free radicals is behind many of the medical conditions that come with aging, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. We’ve all been told that a high intake of fruits and vegetables reduces risk of cancer, while a low intake raises risk. Some recent studies suggests that diminished brain function associated with aging and disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases may be due to increased vulnerability to free radicals.

Does the fact that Acai has powerful antioxidant properties automatically mean that it is effective in fighting the aging process? No. It will take much more research before we know for sure, but some doctors are already convinced. Bestselling-author Dr. Nicholas Perricone appeared on Oprah and named Acai as one of the “the number one food for age-defying beauty.” In his book, The Perricone Promise, Dr. Perricone calls Acai one of the “top foods for combating aging and living a healthy lifestyle.”

Surprisingly, we’ve seen few beauty products on the market that feature Acai, but that will probably change in the very near future. For now the emphasis is on better health and beauty from the inside out.
