Superfruits a Comparison of Acai Berry and Goji Berry Health Benefits

Let us take a look at some of some of the different so-called super fruits. The first one we want to examine because of its recent huge increase in notoriety is the Acai berry. It originates in the Amazon and largely through the efforts of one company Monavie, has become a well-known health drink.
As far as health benefits are concerned the acai berry has been shown to have one of the highest antioxidant scores of any of the Worlds fruits. In in a side to side comparison of the antioxidant level of acai to other fruits like blueberries and grapes it contains twice the amount contained in blueberries and up to 10 times the antioxidant level of grapes. Anthocyanins are a very valuable nutrient and acai contains up to 30 times the amount of this nutrient that you find in red wine. Check out Pure3x Designer Energy Drink with Acai

Acai can have a fairly high ORAC score, fresh acai berries (100 grams) can have an excellent ORAC antioxidant score of up to 5500. However, freeze dried acai (100 grams) can have an off the chart ORAC antioxidant score of over 70,000. These are totals, this means you would have to eat 100 grams or about 3 and a half ounces of fresh acai berries to get 5500. Consuming 1 gram of freeze dried acai would give you an ORAC score of 700 per gram.

The outstanding benefits of Acai are amazing and include, increased energy, anti-aging, improved sleep and strong heart health, and these are just a few mentioned.

The Acai Berry has been featured in emails and on the internet as a great  weight loss product.

These ads are very misleading.  Even though the Acai berry has abundant value as an antioxidant and in other nutrient areas, producers have failed to back up their claims, that drinking acai berry juice or consuming acai products produces any kind of noticable weight loss.

Let us now examine the goji berry and its many health benefits.
In traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), goji is renowned as the premier adaptogen, meaning it can help the body to adapt to changes and stress.
Some of the traditionally reported benefits of adaptogens include: better sleep, increased vitality, and enhanced mental clarity and focus. Goji also is a top antioxidant and immune system booster. In Asia, no adaptogen is more coveted than goji.

The goji berry is also considered to be a tonic in that it helps to keep the vital organs and energies in tone. TCM has identified some herbs as liver tonics, and others as kidney tonics. But goji is held in such high regard that it has been deemed a supertonic, meaning it can help to balance the structures and functions of the entire body.

Antioxidants are a class of nutrients that protect the body from damage caused by different factors, most importantly oxidative damage caused by substances called free radicals. Free radicals are known as aeactive oxygen species  or ROS. They are produced when your body uses oxygen for energy. Just as fire emits smoke as a by-product, ROS are emitted from the conversion of oxygen to energy in the human body, eventually causing oxidative damage to body systems. Free radicals are also created when the body is exposed to pollution, cigarette smoke, car exhaust and other harmful environmental toxins. There are different types of antioxidants, and most work better when paired with other antioxidants. This is called synergism. Vitamins can be antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E. The tripeptide glutathione, loosely classified as an amino acid, acts as an antioxidant, along with other true amino acids such as methionine. The raw herbs and vegetables we consume contain natural antioxidants called bioflavonoids and carotenoids, which are effective antioxidants on their own, but are more effective when synergistically combined with other antioxidants.

Together these nutrients protect your cells from electron robbery at the hands of larcenous free radicals, protecting the body from disease and slowing the inevitable signs of aging. Antioxidants are important supplements for everyone, but especially for those who exercise on a regular basis. The rational is that exercise is a highly oxidative process and, as a consequence, produces free radicals from aerobic metabolism. Antioxidant compounds help alleviate this process.
