Remember twenty plus years ago when the secret to being happy could be summed up in a catch phrase like “an apple a day keeps the doctor away?” Seems that lately the number of things needing doing for a healthy life is increasing exponentially. We have one set of doctors saying we need to get a certain amount of exercise a day (which is backed by the gym owners for sure) and another set saying health is all related to the types of food we eat (with eat food type having its own “spokesperson” among the doctors). In between them you have parents and grandparents divulging the secrets of life that they received from their parents and grandparents and so on. All in all, it’s a pretty big mess trying to figure out the way to health through all the doctors, pharmacists, food lobbyists and so on.
At some point you may want to scream and shout to the world that you are not a mindless puppet of the consumer age and you have your dignity! Well, you would anyway if you had a direction to go off of, but where is that? It is time to stop getting caught up in the crazy propagation of pills and fad diets and look to the real source of health – natural living and eating.
This one simple idea could change your life. Eating a good supply of the right materials gives your body the stuff it needs for repairs, growth, adaptation and more. The human body is a miracle of nature. It is capable of achieving great feats of strength and persevering through some of the hardest things imaginable. It can heal itself after getting wounded and fend off infectious diseases all while you are doing something completely different with your mind and hands. Again, however, this requires the right building blocks to be present or the process is halted.
One of the best sources of those materials is fruit and vegetables. And one of the best fruits is the acai berry from South America. Think of a large red grape hanging from a palm tree and you’ve got the idea of what the acai berry looks like. Only an inch long on average, this little berry is more than meets the eye. It is loaded with antioxidants which are key to a healthy cancer free body.
Cancer is often caused by free radicals – microscopically small particles that bond with others, sometimes even DNA. When that happens, the result can be a mutated cell that replicates without stopping, also known as cancer. Free radicals can be exterminated from the system by flooding it with antioxidants – which bond with the free radical and prevent it from being a nuisance to the cells.
The acai berry is well known for its high levels of antioxidants. Brazilians have been consuming them for years for the natural health benefits they bring. Now, with freeze drying and modern bottling methods, MonaVie brings the power of the acai berry to the masses.
