The amazing little acai berry from the rainforests of Brazil has been touted as a cure and a miracle for a variety of conditions. It has been touted as one of the greatest nutritional discoveries ever and a miracle cure for a range of afflictions from cancer to obesity.

Well that fact of the matter is that the acai berry is quite miraculous. It is extremely nutritious, loaded with antioxidants, Omega fatty acids and a whole host of vitamins and minerals. But being miraculous does not make it a miracle food. The fact is that there are many exceptionally healthy superfoods on this planet including blueberries, oranges, spinach, walnuts, salmon, green tea and more. The acai berry is just one of the latest finds.

In order to have a health-promoting diet you must eat a variety of healthy foods. Our bodies require a combination of nutrition in the form of the macronutrients of carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats and the micronutrients of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Antioxidants protect our bodies from free radicals and oxygen damage that has been implicated in everything from aging to disease. When we increase the quality of what we eat we add to our health and longevity. But the addition of just one superfood like the acai berry cannot do this. We must have a combination of healthy foods.

If you want to lose weight you will likely benefit if you add acai berry products into your diet. However, this is not a magic bullet. You will also need to lower your calorie consumption and start a regular exercise program. Acai berry products can give you outstanding nutritional support that can help you in your weight loss goals but if you do not do the other required things to lose weight you will fail. The acai berry is not a perfect solution.

Nature has provided us|humans| with superior nutrition in the form of many healthy foods. We were designed to indulge in these healthy foods and when we do our bodies benefit greatly. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains can be the basis for our diets but we do not necessarily need to be vegetarians as many meat eaters also have a healthy diet. There are some animal products and meats that are more nutritious than others and it may be wise to be aware of where your food is coming from but that would include the fruits, vegetables and whole grains that you eat also.

We were never meant to eat unnatural and manmade foods. Mother Nature leaves clues. If the food you are eating won't spoil within a certain amount of time then you probably shouldn't be eating it. If bacteria won't eat the food neither should humans. The acai berry is only grown in the Brazilian rainforest and it is so extremely perishable that it must be freeze-dried or frozen within 24 hours after it is picked from the tree or the health benefits quickly spoil.

The acai berry can be a great addition to your healthy diet. The superior nutrition can assist you to overcome the effects of free radicals and that can protect you from diseases. You may also lose weight once your body gets the superior nutrition that it craves.

But the acai berry is not a miracle cure for anything. Improve your diet all around by adding in all kinds of nutritious foods like blueberries, spinach, broccoli, salmon, walnuts, green tea, tomatoes and more. Healthy foods come from everywhere and are found all over the world. To get the highest advantage from acai berry products improve the quality of your diet all around. Your body will appreciate it.
