A dash of discipline and Acai Berry for a Healthier Me

This year, I did not include getting fit and healthy on my New Year’s resolution. I don’t want to write it down since  just like the other years I have failed to do it and it’s disappointing!

They said that action is better than words so this year I decided to JUST DO IT. My fitness inspiration is my kumare Badet who got back into doing crossfit as early as June last year and she is doing great.

But as other fitness coaches mentioned doing some exercises is not the only thing you need to get back into shape and get healthy. Exercises only provide 20% of your total health, you need to combine it with proper diet which has a bigger percentage and effect on you getting fit.

I love eating sweets and I can’t imagine myself not eating rice the whole day, so getting proper nutrition is very challenging to me. But I am not getting younger, so as my husband. We need to help ourselves get back in shape and have discipline for the sake of our son. We need to have a strong body to be able to support and provide for his needs until he’s ready to be on his own.

I am glad that I discovered Organique Acai Berry.

I found these 39 reasons why we need to drink it, but I’ll just post my favorites reasons here:

1. Açaí Can Help You Sleep Better- Because it contains nutrients like vitamin B and others, Açaí is able to decrease your level of stress and aids in the communication between your brain cells. Açaí is able to do this by assisting with the making of neurotransmitters. Some known neurotransmitters are serotonin and dopamine.

2. Açaí Can Reduce Cholesterol- Açaí has a lot of EFAs which stands for Essential Fatty Acids. These Acids sustain the good cholesterol (which is named HDL cholesterol) and at the same time, it will decrease the level of bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol). These two actions, made by the EFAs will lead to a much better blood circulation in you body.

3. Açaí Can Help You Lose Weight- If you are trying to lose weight, then Açaí is a gold mine for you! Drinking Açaí will help you lose weight because Açaí will delay hunger and help you control your appetite. This is possible because Açaí has a low glycemic index.

4. Açaí Can Help Lower Your Stress Level- Açaí is a great helper in the battle against stress! This is mainly because Açaí is able to adjust the stress level in your body and then to repair it.

5. Açaí Can Fight Aging- Açaí may help slow down aging as Açaí has strong anti-oxidants and regenerative nutrients that aid cells to operate optimally. This is probably, one of the most important reasons to drink Açaí juice, from all the 39 reasons.

6. Açaí Can Protect Blood Vessels- By drinking Açaí you will be protecting you will be protecting your arteries, capillaries, veins and blood vessels. This is possible because of the anthocyanins that Açaí has.

7. Açaí Can Improve Your Resistance To Disease- Because Açaí has lots of nutrients; Açaí helps the immune system and increases your body’s resistance to all sorts of diseases.

8 Açaí Can Detoxify And Cleanse Your Body- Açaí has been used for a long time now to detoxify human’s bodies.

9. Açaí Can Prevent Some Causes Of Heart Disease- The Açaí Juice has a powerful heart protection agent which is the antioxidant named polyphenols. The production of nitric oxide in the endothelial cells is improved by anthocyanins. The nitric oxide is responsible for the relaxation and enlargement of the blood vessel walls and this means a lesser amount of stress on your heart. And even more than this, your blood flow will be increased and you will have a decreased risk of any vessel blockage.

10. Açaí Can Fight Cancer- Açaí prevents and lowers the risk of cancer. Açaí fights breast cancer, skin, stomach, lung cancer by neutralizing the free radicals before they can harm cells.

These reasons are good enough to make this drink part of our diet everyday.

Scientists have classified the acai berry as one of the world’s number one superfood according to Dr. Sonny Viloria, medical director and owner of the Biovitale Health Clinic and Symbios Holistic and Wellness Sanctuary. This is because the acai berry contains 10 times the antioxidants found in red grapes and blueberries, he said.
