Antioxidants exist in your body and support your body in many different ways. Without them we become toxic. The free radicals cause havoc in our overall health. One product has emerged into the market place that will reduce or halt this process; a nutritional drink containing acai berry.
This nutritional drink is combined with 19 other fruits however the crown jewel in this drink is the Acai berry. For those of you who are not familiar with acai berry, this product has the highest antioxidant rating. Dr. Nicholas Perricone quotes “The acai berry is one of the most nutricious and powerful foods in the world, nature’s perfect energy fruit.”
As a runner I am searching for the product with the highest ORAC value (oxidative reduction absorption capacity). When I train I increase red blood cells which deliver oxygen to the muscle cells. These changes help make aerobic energy production more efficient. Aerobic energy production is the exclusive responsibility of the mitrochondria. With out the mitrocondria, the breakdown of fuels in the body and production of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) depends on the action of protein molecules called enzymes. This acai berry drink is a “live” fruit drink contains these enzymes. Regular exercise increases the number of enzymes in the mitrocondria, allowing a faster conversion of nutrient fuels (carbs, fats, proteins, oxygen) into ATP. Your body burns these fuels to generate energy in the form of ATP for muscle contraction. ATP is the primary source of energy for ALL living cells.
Personal testimony - This nutritional drink containing acai berry has helped increase my running efficiency and my endurance. I have personally measured my performance over 37 years and this year I have reduced my 15K running time by 3 minutes and reduced “running pain” by 80%. As a pharmacy consultant I am experimenting positive results in my patients, i.e., reducing medications, decreasing pain and improving overall health.
