On a large palm tree grows along the national Amazon and its tributaries and estuaries in South America is growing a fruit known as Acai. This fruit has become a major economic asset for the local population, especially in recent years as people around the world began to discover the health benefits many of these peoples for centuries enjoyed.
As recent studies in 2010 in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry, published and showed a large numberbenefits of acai freeze dried. One study shows that the fruit is significantly higher antioxidant capacity, which means in simple terms, it has the ability to rid the body of harmful free radicals. In particular, it was found that the extraordinary activity against certain types of radicals and at least two cases, by far the highest of all fruits and vegetables have been tested.
Further investigations show that antioxidants are capable of Acai are fully functional humanCells on these functions can be divided into components and "slow" and "quick action". The same study also showed potential anti-inflammatory properties that can be obtained by eating freeze-dried Acai.
Another study examined the content of quantities of various chemical compounds advantageously in freeze-dried Acai. Each of these compounds have been studied and can be discussed in detail. Since there are so many, I decided to justand each name short list of great things to mention the most important.
-ACN 's anthocyanins (3.192mg / g dry weight). In addition to his work as a coloring agent in wine and fruit juices with a nice shade of purple for a variety of flowers and fruit, anthocyanins also has many health benefits. In the first place are anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties (it was found that the strongest antioxidant power of 150 flavonoids tested). In order to reduce the inflammatory process andto prevent oxidative damage, anthocyanins have been shown to prevent damage to the nervous system, major blood vessels and small blood vessels as well as roles in the improvement of some conditions associated with diabetes and vision.
Proanthocyanidins - PAC (12.89 mg / g dw). These secondary compounds of plants has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, improve the formation of free radicals and reduce some symptoms of chronic age-related age-related, such as obesity,Cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Others contain flavonoids taxifolin deoxyhexose, isovitexin Homoorientin, scoparin orient and others who were not yet known (only speculate, can the benefits of such).
Polyunsaturated fatty acid broke (most beneficial to the body) to 11.1% of total, monounsaturated (also a useful and easily digestible true form of fat) and saturated with 60.2% (the least accessible but disirable nor necessary) Only 28.7% ofContent of total fatty acids. Oleic acid (53.9%) and palmitic acid (26.7%) were found to be the two dominant fatty acids.
Nineteen amino acids (needed for digestion), were found in freeze dried Acai and the entire contents have been determined to be 7.6% by weight of total expenditure.
