Reckon about what you ate today. Did your meals contained a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and protein sources? Did you consume enough omega-3’s and folic acid? Have you had your day’s share of magnesium? Potassium? Fiber? Any antioxidants? How about B-vitamins? Do you even know what these things are and where they come from?

With crazy daily schedules, a suffering economy, and an obsession with processed foods, American eating habits have gotten more and more unhealthy. The percentage of Americans who really obtain their recommended daily values of most vitamins, minerals, and nutrients is staggeringly small. And let’s face it, who has time to prepare home-cooked meals with perfectly plotted nutrition from fresh, organic sources every time they are hungry?

What if I told you there was a fruit which offers tons of these recommended nutrients all in one berry? While some fruits and vegetables offer fantastic nutritional benefits, acai stands out among them all. It has an incredible variety of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients which combine for powerful synergistic effects. Acai is extremely rich in B-vitamins, fiber, and protein. On top of that, it contains a variety of essential and beneficial fatty acids like omega-3’s and omega-9’s. The acai berry has large amounts of minerals like copper, potassium, and manganese, which are essential parts of our diet, but sometimes hard to obtain. Acai is rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins and resveratrol, which are found in red- and purple-colored berries.

People question whether acai is really the miracle fruit it is made out to be. Acai berry offers a plethora of nutrients which are so severely lacking in many people’s diets. These nutrients can all be obtained in one small berry. Eating acai can lead to weight loss, beauty, slowing or even reversing the aging process, and general better health. Isn’t that a miracle in itself?
