Ah, the wondrous acai berry. The acai berry is an inch-long reddish, purple fruit. It comes from the acai palm tree (Euterpe oleracea), which is native to Central and South America. Many believe that this is the key to being healthy and and awesome. This is because of all th legit scientific research being done about it.
One reason for all of it's super rad publicity is that it contains substances called anthocyanins and flavonoids. Anthocyanins and flavonoids are powerful antioxidants, helping protect the body from harmful free radicals that turn your hot body into a saggy prune. It also plays a role in the body's immune system. This is shown to reduce the chances of heart disease and cancers.
Another reason why everybody's raving about it is the fact that people have found that when eating (or drinking) the acai berry, they not only have exra nutrition in their diet, but they also lose weight. However, very few studies have been done to prove this fact.
But if not for the weight loss, you might want to try it simply because it has just about the highest antioxidant concentration of any fruit found in nature.
Anyways, it's Thursday. And I'm not about to crack the Rebecca Black joke. Ms. Young's been bagging on 25k for their "inappropriate" blog posts....maybe I should go check that ;) Also, TAKS TOMORROW EWWWWWW. Especially since it's math. I may not seem like it, but I am retarded at math. I'm an extremely visual person, and the only thing I can do in geometry is the net stuff. Numbers just don't work in my head. Are you the same?
