Like berries and chocolate? One food naturally bursts with those delicious flavors, as well as with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and essential fatty acids. It’s called acai (ah-sigh-ee), and it’s the super-potent berry from an Amazonian palm tree.
Listed as Dr. Perricone’s #1 Superfood, recent research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that acai is a powerful inhibitor of cox-1 and cox-2 enzymes that promote inflammation – the cause of many chronic diseases and a main culprit of visible aging.
Whirl some flash-frozen acai into a summer smoothie to satisfy your sweet tooth and quell inflammation. Sambazon Organic Acai Smoothie Packs have zero grams of sugar and are a convenient way to drink in the benefits of this superfood.
