ACAI AND POMEGRANATE SUPERFRUITS – A NEW GENERATION FOR HEALTHY LIVING Superfruits have been called “the future of healthy living” and justifiably so. These exotic and healthy fruits have exploded onto the health scene and nutritionists, scientists, and medical researchers are taking them very seriously. Are superfruits that important from a health standpoint? The clinical studies indicate some very important health gains from consuming them. It is a combination of their incredible antioxidant properties and other nutritional qualities that is getting major attention. How can we ignore what the clinical studies clearly say? It is undeniable that those who drink Acai and/or Pomegranate (just to name the top two superfruit juices) are reporting that they are experiencing greater energy and other direct health benefits. Where is the proof? There are two ways to assess the health value of superfruits. The first is by reading the clinical studies. The second is called inferred proof. That is, those who are making superfruits part of their lives are reporting positive results. It is fair to say that consumers are relying on both. The incredible antioxidant properties of superfruits were revealed by publication of studies conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture in its study of some 100 common foods. Once ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values were assigned, it was clear that the link had been made. Powerful antioxidant properties have been established for superfruits and those who are not using them should certainly give them a careful look. That is, those who have an interest in overall health and well-being. More to come There is a major signal that superfruits are here to stay. Within the food industry, there has been a substantial increase in the introduction of new products. With increasing public awareness, it is certain that superfruits are providing some major advances in healthy living. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES – THE NEW SUPERFRUIT BENEFITS The regular consumption of fruits and vegetables has long been associated with reduced risks of both chronic diseases as well as cardiovascular disease and cancer. It is generally recognized that the phytochemicals, with emphasis on phenolics, found in fruits and vegetables are those associated with good health. It should be noted that fruits generally provide more health benefits than do vegetables in the overall picture. ACAI PLUS POMEGRANATE – THE #1 AND #2 SUPERFRUITS Now we have superfruits to bring to our daily health regimen. If you examine what they offer and the potential health benefits, it is a big frontier.
