Acai Berries
Are they the best thing since sliced bread?
All Natural Juices – Learning the Facts
With all the marketing hype on the internet is sometimes difficult to determine the best information available about a variety of popular exotic (and some not so exotic) fruit drinks and how they can help bring you natural health. There are a mind boggling array of health claims associated with different nutritional supplements, so it is difficult to know which claims hold water and which leak like a sieve? It’s time to cut through the clutter, and bring to light relevant information about natural juices that will help you live longer and live better.
Research continues to mount about the numerous natural health benefits of consuming a variety of fruits. Gout and arthritis may be helped by Tart Cherries. Gogi berries may boost the immune system. Pomegranates could lower cholesterol. Açlai has the potential to fight arteriosclerosis. And the list goes on and on.
It is no wonder government guidelines suggest that we consume 3-5 servings of fruit and 4-7 servings of vegetables each day. If you are like most people, getting the required number of servings every day is a struggle. However, attaining these goals is made simpler by adding juice to your daily diet.
But which provide the biggest bang for the cup? Not all are created equal. While orange may not be a bad choice, is it really the best? Many of the most nutritionally dense liquid supplements come from fruits that have been consumed for centuries in their countries of origin, but are just now gaining popularity in other countries. Such fruits include the acai berry, noni berry, goji berry, and mangosteen, which are among an emerging category of novel functional foods often referred to as “superfruits” or “superfoods.”
But can these fruits, or any nutritional supplement for that matter, live up to the hype? To listen to some people (often of the multi-level marketing variety), this health drink or that health supplement will prevent cancer, cure arthritis, or help you live to the ripe old age of 252 [Legend of Li Qing Yuen].
It is time to learn more in detail how these remarkable “super fruits” and how natural fruit juices can be a delicious part of your well-rounded diet.
