Acai Berry: Heart Disease,
High Blood Pressure and Stroke
Too many broken hearts?
Heart diseases claim more lives than anything else, and most of the people who die from heart disease are killed by heart attacks.
Majority of heart attacks are due to “cardiovascular” disease. This begins with a buildup of fatty material just below the lining of the arteries supplying the heart. These deposits consist mostly of dead white cells. The cells find their way into the lining of the arteries as a result of inflammation. Over time these deposits increase in size and get harder. Therefore this process is sometimes called “hardening of the arteries”. The damage to the lining of the arteries by free radicals or high blood pressure seems to speed up the process as well.
Homocysteine is an inflammatory, oxidating toxin produced by lack of nutrients. Antioxidants and micronutrients in acai berry can make the arteries less inflamed, oxidized and decrease homocysteine.
Acai berry high fiber content helps keeping our bodies healthy. Fiber feeds the colonies of beneficial bacteria living in our large intestines. By improving the health of our intestines and increasing the levels of Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) we can keep our cell membranes lining the arteries healthy. Acai berries high in amino acid, monounsaturated essential oils, fats and trace minerals can lead to improvement of arterial health.
Beef burgers, french fries and soft drinks – why not “go large”? Eat them most of the time and they can increase blood pressure and cholesterol, recognized by the majority of doctors as the most important factors in heart disease and stroke. Current medical wisdom suggests that if you lower your cholesterol and your blood pleasure, you will significantly reduce your chance of suffering from heart disease.
You can reduce cholesterol and blood pleasure without using drugs. Acai berry rich in micronutrients can also improve the detoxification pathways and eliminate xenobiotics that have been associated with stroke, high blood pressure and other heart diseases.
