“How to cleanse your body with acai berry”- roared the newspaper heading.  I just laughed over the title thinking "oh! not again". Till date I have tried several weight loss diets and wasted lots of money and hours on them. Trust me nothing has worked. Some days later, I heard some of my colleagues ravishing about the new acai berry cleanse diet. They convinced me to try the remedy and one of them even vouched to buy the acai berry supplement on my behalf. Bowing to my colleague’s pressure I decided to buy the Acai Berry cleanse. After 6 months of using it I can say that results are simply amazing. I am thankful to the nature for giving us such a wonder berry and to my colleagues for introducing me to such a wonderful product.

Acai berry cleanses have gained popularity due to their ability to deliver significant results within less time. Nowadays you can see everyone right from Oprah Winfrey to nutritionists to scientists endorsing acai berry.  Like me they all are wowed by the amazing health benefits that acai berries has to offer. acai berry cleanses are prepared from acai berry extracts. Acai berries are blueberry like fruits that grow in the tropical rain forests of Amazon. The Acai berry juice is rich in nutrients that initiate weight loss, controls cholesterol, and boosts energy and immunity.  

Katherine Zeratsky, a Mayo Clinic nutrionist, says that acai berries are rich in antioxidants, which play significant role in combating the harmful effects of free radicals. Acai berries are stacked with fibers, which promotes the digestive health. Other than that acai berry is rich in Omega-6 and 9, which helps in reducing cancers and other heart scares.  

Acai berry cleanse diets can benefit you in many ways. Two of its potential benefits are:

• Effective colon cleanse: The colon breaks down foods, stores waste (until it is flushed out of body), and absorbs nutrients. Due to our unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits  bacteria, toxins and parasites permanently reside in our digestive tract, and release harmful pathogens. These harmful pathogens bog down our colon and subject us to the torture of health issues like constipation, headaches, fatigue, IBS, etc.  The powerful antioxidants present in Acai berry act on these pathogens by diminishing their powers and driving them out of the digestive tract; helping in removing fat extracts and other unwanted matter from the body; hydrating the colon to avoid cell damage inflicted by harmful pathogens and supplying minerals and other nutrients to the colon to stabilize itself.

• Anti aging: Acai berry is rich in antioxidants, which can reverse the aging process. These antioxidants flush out the toxins settled beneath the skin cells. Antioxidants nourish the skin cells by supplying all vital nutrients.

You can try out natural acai berry supplements available in the market. Or you can resort to the home made acai berry cleanser diet. You can easily prepare acai berry juice at home by crushing fresh acai berries. Acai berry juice has very short shelf life, so you need to finish the juice within 24 hours. If you find it difficult to prepare the juice or store it for long time then resort to acai berry purees, or preserves that are available in the market.  You can also prepare juice mix by including acai berries and other seasonally available fruits or vegetables of choice.
