- By Theresa S. Samaniego

THERE IS wisdom in making health an utmost priority. A strong body and a stable frame of mind, after all, could play a huge role in ensuring a better quality of life, and in spelling out the success of any individual.

However, the journey to wellness is tough to say the least—made even more difficult by the stressful lifestyles most individual­s have to deal with, along with the onset of new strains of viruses and diseases that could hit even the healthiest of the lot.

Although exercise, a healthy lifestyle and regular trips to one’s doctor may already do the trick, there remains a lot more that can be done. Others, for instance, have taken another step forward in their wellness regime by being even more discerning of the kind of food they eat, turning to the so-called and much celebrated “superfoods.”

Superfoods, according to experts, were found to provide large doses of vitamins and minerals which the body needs to help fight deadly diseases or its debilitati­ng effects. Composed mostly of fish, vegetable and fruits, superfoods, when taken in large doses, do not only help ward off diseases but could also ensure that one’s mind and body will function efficientl­y.

Wonder berries

Berries, much like fish and vegetables, are said to carry large doses of vitamins and minerals that the body needs, and are thus considered as superfood. And one berry that can reportedly do wonders for the body when taken regularly is the Acai (pronounced ah-sah-see) berry.

Commonly found in the Amazon rainforest­s, Acai berries have long been used by the indigenous Indian tribes of Brazil to treat diarrhea and other diseases. This energy boosting fruit packs a huge amount of antioxidan­t that could promote healing and stimulate immune system.

Experts like Dr. Sonny Viloria have started to recommend the consumptio­n of Acai berry to patients with heart problems, most of whom have already shown remarkable improvemen­ts in their health.

“My patients reported that they do not get tired easily and their skin glow because of improved oxygenatio­n in their body. This is the effect of Acai berry’s anthocyani­n to the human body, it relaxes and expands blood vessels, resulting in less stress on the heart because it increases blood flow,” Viloria shared.

Acai berry, according to Viloria helps improve the blood circulatio­n in the body thus for his patients with cancer and those undergoing dialysis, he prescribes taking one fourth cup, three times a day to help improve circulatio­n and well-being.

Currently, Acai berries are touted as the planet’s superfood because it contain the highest level of antioxidan­ts among all edible fruits and vegetables which allows it to better fight and protect one from health problems associated with oxidative damage.

Preferred drink

With numerous benefits to boast, individual­s are now turning to Organique Acai Premium Blend for their daily dose of the superfood. A flagship product of Organique Inc. that was first introduced to the market in 2008, this juice has since become a preferred drink of those who value good health.
