Shalom & Shavua Tov:
A cardiologist recommended acai berries to take for help with general health.
I have been researching the acai berries; they are apparently from the acai palm tree. There are some kosher sites where one can order in juice, powder and capsule form.
I was wondering if anyone in these boards have had any experience with this product?
Thank you for your replies in advance.

teen: great research work!!!!
wow, not bad 4 a teen. pretty interesting also. if you could explain all those hard words in the last paragraph, maybe i’ll understand why the cardio doctor said to use the berries.
Acai Berries- From what I read AB has the highest orac rating than any other berry. The orac rating corresponds to the antioxidant properties of food. Antioxidants are important to counteract the effects of Coronary problems as well as ultra violet radiation and certain kinds of Cancers. 10+ antioxidant properties more than red wine, and 2+ antioxidant properties more than Blueberries. AB like Blueberries can help (not cure) Macular Degeneration individuals by strengthening the blood vessels in the eye because of its high antioxidant level. The berry is purported to help Insomniacs by relaxing muscles in the body aiding restful sleep. It is not wise and prudent to rely on Super Foods as a panacea for healthy eating. It seems if you use the Berry drink as a healthy beverage (providing there is a reliable hechtsher on the product) might be OK since the drink was recommended by your Cardiologist. Health and vitality come from Hashem, but he wants us to try our best to make intelligent choices what we put in our mouths .
interesting and useful info, thanx.
