Dr. Nicholas Perricone Discusses the Acai Berry on Oprah

According to Perricone, the 10 featured superfoods in his book were chosen because of their direct link to the Brain-Beauty Connection. These foods are rich in either the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), antioxidants or fiber, and as in the case of açaí-all three! In addition, we have included foods that have been proven to lower or help regulate blood sugar levels, an extremely important factor for all of those concerned with slowing the aging process and preventing diabetes, obesity, wrinkles and a host of degenerative diseases.

Acai Berry is indigenous to the Amazon Rain Forrest and just recently after being featured on national shows including the Oprah Show is gaining quick popularity.

The Acai Berry has long been a part of the diet of tribes in the Amazon Rain Forrest. Researchers discovered just how healthy the members of these tribes were and started looking into the berry. They found such things as antioxidants in quantities twenty times higher then those found in red wine. As the research showed just how full of vitamins, antioxidants and necessary nutrients the Acai Berry was, the word quickly spread.
