A little more about açaí berries
Açaí berries (or açaí in the original Brazilian spelling) are a dark purple fruit, similar in shape to a grape, with a red fruit and chocolate flavour. These fruits grow in large clusters near the tops of palm trees in Amazonian forests.
The pulp and skin of açaí berries are packed with antioxidants, amino acids, fibre, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, making it a perfect energising fruit.
Açaí effects on athletes
Improves athletic performance
Açaí berries are known to increase energy levels due to the powerful array of antioxidants they contain. Numerous studies claim that this antioxidant blend promotes faster recovery and increases stamina in a natural and healthy way.
Improves heart health
Açaí berries improve circulation and relax blood vessels, essential elements for maintaining a healthy heart. This positive impact on the human body is due to three plant sterols found in this fruit, known as B-sitosterol, campesterol and sigmasterol. The combination of these three plant sterols has a very healthy cardioprotective effect.
It is a very high source of protein
It’s not often that a fruit is high in protein, but Açaí berries, in fact are, which makes them an ideal meal for your post-workout because they have amino acids (which are the building blocks of protein). The amino acid content of açaí berries is almost the equivalent of an egg, enough to help build and repair muscles to return to peak performance the next day.
Slows cellular ageing
Açaí contains a high content of fatty acids similar to that of olive oil. That is why it helps stop the ageing process by increasing the presence of omega-3 in cell membranes, making them more flexible. In addition, açaí berries make hormones and insulin receptors work more efficiently and reduce inflammation, which in turn reduces the signs of ageing.
Açaí effects on children
Açaí berries have everything to be the favourite snack of the little ones. It’s tasty, it’s sweet, it’s healthy, it has a funny name and it also paints lips!!!
It has never been easier for children to eat fruit. With a smoothie made with the pulp of açaí berries, they get an extra supply of nutrients and vitamins without even bothering.
Açaí berries are also an antioxidant-rich superfood, a source of iron and high in vitamin E, fibre, calcium, potassium and magnesium. For all these reasons, açaí berries are an ideal food to help reduce tiredness and fatigue, good for children with a heavy workload or very intense extracurricular activities. In addition, it is a very important element for the proper functioning of the immune system. By consuming it in a bowl or smoothie, either at breakfast or as a snack, the little ones will be ready to face their activities with their defences charged.

Açaí effects during pregnancy
Açaí berries are a rather peculiar fruit. Although it resembles blueberries, they offer very different nutrients.
While most other fruits are rich in fibre and a little bit of carbohydrate, açaí berries also contain fat. The fat in açaí is mainly unsaturated fat, including beneficial omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
The fat in these fruits is actually a good thing! Having a smoothie for breakfast may seem like a healthy option, but the lack of a fat source won’t keep you satisfied for long. That’s where açaí berries come in. The 5 grams of fat are satisfying for the stomach and help keep you full.
For pregnant people, the baby also gets a nutritional benefit. Eating some açaí berries can help meet the baby’s need for omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are needed for the baby’s brain and neurological development during pregnancy.
In addition to omega-3s, as we’ve talked about before, açaí berries are also a good source of antioxidants. The berries have a high concentration of anthocyanins, or the purple pigment that causes the fruit to turn anything they touch into a bright purple hue.
The antioxidant power of açaí berries may be linked to the fruit’s benefits on cholesterol levels, heart disease and even brain function. Antioxidants can also support the immune system, which is usually weakened during pregnancy.
