acai berry helps fight cancer

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8936/acaiberryg.jpg


A lot of scientists and nutritionists are now conducting researches and studies about the nutritional and medical benefits that can be gained from Acai berry. After several studies and lab tests, it showed that the Acai berry has the capability to fight cancer cells.

Cancer starts from the formation of free radicals which are small molecules that starts to form from pollutants, cigarette smoke and many others. These harmful elements attack body cells and it can also destroy DNA. And when damage is done it leads to different kinds of illnesses such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and of course cancer. To fight such harmful elements, antioxidants are needed which is found in Acai berry.

To measure the antioxidants contained in Acai the Oxygen Radical Absorbency Capacity score (ORAC) method is used. According to the results the Acai berry scored the most antioxidants as compared to blueberry, apple and banana. The Acai berry scored 167/175 while blueberry which is in second scored 32/175 which is a huge difference. It has been reported that there are 80 to 90% of individuals who are not taking in enough antioxidant to fight these harmful elements.

During a lab test done, it was found to automatically fight cancer cells. Though, this was only the result of a lab test there are possibilities that this type of berry will have a good effect when taken in. Aside from this there are a lot of claims that are being advertised but most of them were not proven. Right now experts are still starting to discover all the benefits that can be acquired from it.

There are still a lot of things to be uncovered from this amazing food from the Amazon. Now, the berry is not yet dubbed as the cure for cancer but with the high amount of antioxidants it can prevent the formation of harmful elements that lead to cancer. Several researches will be provided afterward and hopefully more positive results will be shown. Though, one should not depend on Acai berry products alone for good health, healthy diet and clean living will still be the main factor to achieve good health.

The most powerful of foods that prevent cancer is wheat grass. Wheat Grass is one of the most beneficial complete foods there is. It is very high in chlorophyll and provides natural detoxification. The chlorophyll found in a liquid ounce of wheat grass and other leafy greens not only cleanses and builds blood, but research now shows that it may also assist in offsetting the adverse effects of radiation. Wheatgrass is one molecule away from hemoglobin in the human blood so it is the closet we can come to a blood transfusion without actually getting a blood transfusion. Now that is a powerful food!

Wheatgrass is high in oxygen like all green plants as it contains chlorophyll. The brain and other tissue in the body function at an optimal level in a highly-oxygenated environment. Science has proven that chlorophyll stops growth and development of unfriendly bacteria and can assist in increasing low red cell count. It is so nutritionally condensed that 15 pounds of Wheat Grass is the equivalent of 350 pounds of carrot, lettuce, celery, and other juices.

Wheatgrass has the following properties:
•Detoxifies the liver
•Cleanses the colon
•Leads to a tangible energy boost
•Boosts the immune system
•Purifies blood as Chlorophyll has similar molecular structure to hemoglobin - a component of blood
•Very rich in chlorophyll
•Contains 97 enzymes, vitamins, phytochemicals and minerals made famous in the US by Dr. Ann Wigmore in treatment of cancer
•Experience less colds as your resistance to infection increases

The health benefit of Bananas

you are going to read a surprise about Bananas as it is act against the following disorder

1-Anemia
Bananas are relatively high in iron more than apple, increase hemoglobin production and function
2-Constipation and Diarrhea
with their content of fiber, they maintain a normal bowel function and protect against constipation. In addition, diarrhea usually depletes your body of important electrolytes (of which the most important is potassium, contained in high amounts in bananas). They also contain pectin, a soluble fiber (hydrocolloid) that can help normalize movement through the digestive tract.

3-Eyesight Protection
consuming at least 3 servings of fruit per day have a reduced risk (by 36%) of developing age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the primary cause of vision loss in older adults, compared to persons who consume less than 1.5 servings of fruit daily.

4-Healthy Bones
As rich source of fructooligosaccharide, a compound that nourishes probiotic (friendly) bacteria in the colon. These beneficial bacteria produce enzymes that increase our digestive ability and protect us from unhealthy bacteria infections.and increasing our body's ability to absorb calcium.
In addition, green bananas contain indigestible short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are very nutrient to the cells that make up the mucosa of the stomach. These cells, when healthy, absorb calcium much more efficiently

5-Healthy Kidney
Daily consumption of whole fruits and vegetables, especially bananas, is highly protective to kidney health. The results show that, over a long timeframe (13.4 years), women eating more than 2.5 servings of fruits and vegetable per day cut their risk of kidney cancer by 40%. Among the fruits, bananas were especially protective. Women eating bananas four to six times a week halved their risk of developing the disease compared to those who did not eat this fruit. frequent consumption of fruits and vegetables, especially bananas, cabbage and root vegetables, may reduce risk of kidney cancer. This is because bananas and many root vegetables contain especially high amounts of antioxidant phenolic compounds, while cabbage is rich in sulfur, necessary for effective detoxification of potential carcinogens.

6-Blood Pressure
Bananas are extremely high in potassium (about 396mg), yet very low in sodium (1mg), thus having a perfect ratio for preventing high blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

7-Heartburn
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

8-Morning Sickness
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood-sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

9-Smoking
Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. They contain vitamins B6 and B12 they contain, as well as potassium and magnesium: these substances help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

10-Ulcers
This is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicle cases. It also helps reduce acidity and reduces irritation. Bananas stimulate the cells on the internal stomach lining to produce a thicker mucus (which protects against acid). Additionally, bananas contain protease inhibitors that help eliminate bacteria in the stomach that have been pinpointed as a primary cause of ulcers.

11-Nerves
Bananas are high in B vitamins that have been shows to improve nerve function

12-Mosquito Bites
Many people report that rubbing the inside of a banana peel on a mosquito bite is very effective in reducing itching and swelling

13-Stress Relief
Bananas are high in potassium, which helps normalize the hearthbeat and regulate the body's water balance. During periods of high stress, our body's potassium levels tend to be rapidly depleted: eating bananas is a healthy way to rebalance them without using drugs

14-Stroke Risk
eating bananas as part of a regular diet can reduce the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%
