Acai Berry Benefits and Side-effects

Acai Berry Benefits and Side-effects

by Dana Hawkes

There is a long list of benefits which we derive from the consumption of acai berries. However, there are some side-effects also associated with acai berry. The following article will share with you some important benefits and negatives of acai berry.

The main benefit derived from acai berry is that it has a high proportion of antioxidant content. Antioxidants are very important for the body as they neutralize radicals which can cause damage to our body cells and other problems. However, the main problem is that in the process it consumes the store of antioxidants present in our body. So, a continuous supply of antioxidants is necessary to maintain the correct level of antioxidants in the body.

Again, to restock the depleted antioxidants, it would be better to use a source which is meant mainly for antioxidants. According to research, acai berry has the best content of antioxidants as compared to other food supplements that are consumed by people on a daily basis. But yet, this has not been unchangeable as acai berry has been discovered just a few years back and more study still remains to be conducted on this wonderful fruit. However, the tests conducted so far give us a positive picture about acai berries.

The major side-effect that has been found is loss of appetite. Acai berry suppresses the diet of the person. However, if you add acai berries in your weight-loss program, they can work wonders for you, since they will take care of the unessential or junk food that you eat. But every coin has twp sides. If you are trying to increase your weight, then in case you are underweight, acai berry is certainly not meant for you.

There is a remote possibility that you might be allergic to acai berry. But again, this is possible for any food that you may consume. So, this is the only side-effect you need to afraid of while consuming your acai berries.
