  PASADENA, CA, Jul 02 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
The acai berry, used for thousands of years in Central and South America,
has recently hit the health food store shelves in America and is showing
more promise than many of its superfood predecessors. In fact, it's been
voted #1 superfood on Oprah. Feelgoodforlife.com covers the basics on the
acai berry, what it can do for you and why you might want to consider
using it to replace your other anti-aging supplements.

    The acai berry won the number one position due to its remarkable
combination of anti-aging nutrients and wide range of healthful effects.

    The antioxidant content is 10 times more potent than that of red grapes.
Antioxidants fight the free radicals accumulated through the body's
natural processes, environmental pollution, smoking and the synthetic
chemicals in our food and water. Free radicals cause a reduction in
cellular function, sometimes so severe the cell actually dies. According
to research published in the New York Times, free radicals have been
linked to diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and about 60 other diseases.
They are also considered to be a primary cause of aging. The acai berry
antioxidants are among the most powerful of anti-aging supplements.

    The acai berry is also high in the fiber needed for a healthy digestive
system and the healthy fats now known to play a vital role in
cardiovascular health. It is also rich in amino acids, the building blocks
of protein, and the specific trace minerals needed for muscle
regeneration.

    Superfoods have been the subject of much research for nearly 100 years,
and almost all are considered beneficial as anti-aging supplements as they
contain the life-giving nutrients that help prevent degeneration. Other
stars include the goji berry, bee pollen, blue/green algae, chlorella, and
spirulina. While all are very beneficial, the acai berry's unique
combination of nutrients has earned it the #1 position and is the current
favorite among anti-aging supplements.
