One of the biggest benefits of the acai berry is its antioxidant content. Dr. Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon who has appeared on Oprah, names the acai berry as one of his top 10 foods. He gave a demonstration of the benefits of antioxidants using two halves of apple where one half was covered in lemon juice.
The apple without the lemon juice eventually became shriveled and brown, but the side with the lemon juice remained unchanged. Dr. Oz explained that this is what happens to the cells and key organs of our body when exposed to free radicals and oxidation.
Acai berry has the ability to fight off these dangerous free radicals and help protect us against premature aging and cell break down.
