b. ACAI bowl

October 25, 2014

ACAI and it’s health benefits and pit falls

  • Acai berry had high levels of antioxidents
  • disease preventing properties
  • scientific studies claim it to be high in anti- ageing benefits being excellent in anti- inflammatories
  • High in Oleic Acid and Linoleic Acid both fatty acids that cut cholesterol and help prevent skin dryness
  • High in fibre
  • High in mineral content (magnesium, copper, iron, potassium)  that control blood pressure
  • Acai speeds up your metabolism being optimal for weight loss

PIT FALLS of ACAI

Do not eat this everyday – It is a once/ twice a week option – 

  • It contains high levels of sulphates (berries) which can cause headaches
  • Also has high level of natural sugar which are hidden weight gainers.

Like every food option BALANCE is key
