“The acai berry is a rich purple palm fruit indigenous to the Amazon rainforest. For hundreds of years, these small dark berries have been integral to the diet of native Amazon people.” It is nicknamed the “Beauty Berry” because of its high antioxidant and Omega fatty acid content which have both shown to slow ageing by fighting damaging free radicals and boosting metabolic and immune function.  I recently started adding a shot of this to my daily fruit smoothie; I have more energy, even more upbeat than usual, and find it really helps boost my health, especially during the winter months.
