🍇Acai berries are a Brazilian "superfruit." They're native to the Amazon region where they're a staple food.⠀
⠀
🍇However, they've recently gained popularity globally and are praised for being particularly beneficial to health and well-being.⠀
⠀
🍇Acai berries contain healthy fats and low amounts of sugar, as well as many trace minerals and plant compounds, including anthocyanins.⠀
⠀
🍇Acai is incredibly rich in antioxidants, boasting three times the amount found in blueberries.⠀
⠀
🍇Many animal studies and at least one human study have suggested that acai may help lower blood cholesterol levels.
🍇In animal and test-tube studies, acai has shown potential as an anti-cancer agent. More studies are needed to determine its effect in humans.⠀
⠀
🍇The antioxidants in acai counteract the damaging effects of inflammation and oxidation in brain cells, which can negatively affect memory and learning.⠀
⠀
🍇In one study, acai even helped improve memory in aging rats.⠀
⠀
🍇One of the ways in which the brain stays healthy is by cleaning up cells that are toxic or no longer working, a process known as autophagy. It makes way for new nerves to form, enhancing communication between brain cells.⠀
