Resveratrol is the substance behind the so-called “French paradox whereby Frenchmen living in southern France eat a high fat diet yet have no heart disease – it is the Resveratrol in their red wine that completes the paradox. Samurai warriors carried Japanese knotweed on their persons and regularly chewed on the shrub for strength – of course, they didn’t know what they were taking.

Acai Super Food in Liquid Nutrition and Health Article
The New #1 Superfood:
The Most Powerful Antioxidant Known In The World
By: Carina MacInnes
There has been a groundbreaking discovery in the field of health and nutrition. Though it has been featured in the media and become an underground buzz, it is still generally unknown.
It is the anti-aging and health re-vitalizing power of a little Brazilian fruit, now declared the new #1 superfood: the acai berry. Before this recent finding the blueberry was acclaimed as the most nutrient rich food. It had been recognized for its extremely powerful antioxidant properties.
Antioxidants are essential for full body health. In the natural process of the body’s workings, cells are constantly metabolizing. This creates byproducts called free radicals. Free radicals are molecules missing an electron. A free radical will seek to stabilize itself and by stealing an electron from a healthy cell. This creates yet another free radical, causing more cell damage. The process snowballs as we age and eventually we begin to feel its effects at around age 35 or 40 - the domino effect of untreated massive cell damage. Things begin to go wrong.
As the unchecked flow of free radicals damages cells we begin to see degeneration, aging and disease. Free radicals can invade a cell wall, damage the DNA, and begin the process that can start cancer. They can invade the cell and cause the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, to slow down or stop working altogether. Depending on where this happens, it can disrupt many of the body’s natural systems - from neuronal firing to hormonal balance. Antioxidants are molecules loaded with extra free electrons. By providing the body with a powerful source of external antioxidants, the free radicals are now able to stabilize themselves by getting their electron from the antioxidants instead of from your cells. This prevents further cell damage.
The blueberry is packed with anthocyanins, an antioxidant phytonutrient which is a far more powerful source of antioxidants than Vitamins A and E. Anthocyanins have been shown to neutralize free radical damage which can result in so many health conditions, such as cataracts, varicose veins, peptic ulcers, heart disease, cancer - the list goes on and on.
Blueberries have been recognized as being far more powerful in supplying antioxidants than wine. Now they have been replaced as the #1 nutrient rich, antioxidant packed anti-aging superfood by the acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-ee).
The acai berry contains the same antioxidant phytonutrients as blueberries, anthocyanins, except in FAR greater amounts. Blueberries have been shown to deliver 38% more anthocyanins than red wine. The acai berry has been shown to be an antioxidant 33 times more powerful than red wine and 5 times more powerful than ginko biloba. Dr. Nicholas Perricone in his new book the Perricone Promise calls the acai berry the most perfect food on the planet. It rates #1 on his list of recommendations of the top ten ingredients to look and feel younger, enjoy revitalized health and decelerate the aging process.
The acai berry is also very unique, being packed with so many nutrients. It has amino acids, which is unheard of in fruits and vegetables in North America. It has the protein content of an egg, the essential fatty acids of olive oil and is rich in the A and B vitamins. It is a ‘multivitamin’ food!Ingesting it has incredible health benefits. Even if you are healthy you will probably notice positive effects as you introduce a more balanced nutrition to your body, including increased energy and mental clarity.Antioxidants have been recognized as an essential part of our diet in order to restore our health and prevent future disease. Now we have access to the most powerful antioxidant ever discovered. This can take our health to whole new levels.What is the best way of adding the exotic acai berry to your diet? The best delivery of an antioxidant is ideally in liquid form, so look for a juice product. Look for a company that responsibly helps to conserve the Brazilian rainforest. Ideally the company is one that is closest to the source, harvesting and processing in Brazil. Make sure the company has the highest quality pharmacological processing in order to ensure that you are getting the best product, and the best results.

NUTRITIONAL BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
Today, 60 years after the release of Senate Document 264, the soil is even more depleted of nutrients. The United States is rich and abundant in food, but from the viewpoint of nutrition, people are starving. The agricultural industry has constantly farmed the land without rest, and the soil cannot produce food sufficient in nutrients for our body. The pollution of the air and water has worsened the depletion of soil.
According to the Earth Summit Report in 1992:
2. Europe 72%
3. Africa 74%
4. Asia 6%
5. South America 76%
6. North America 85%
Daily Health is needed because not only are we deprived of many minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients, our diets have deviated to fast foods, fatty foods, junk foods, processed foods, refined foods, and a lack of variety of foods. The 1936 Senate Document 264 also said that 99% of Americans are deficient in minerals, and a deficiency of one or more minerals can lead to disease, thus shortening our lives. Minerals are so important, but we cannot get the full supply of it from food any longer. That is why we must get it from supplements and liquid multi vitamin and minerals is the most effective delivery system available today.
