Mona Vei Acai
Have you heard of Mona Vie? If not if won’t be long until you do. The mona vie acai juice is squeezed from a berry grown on the acai palm. Each berry is under an inch in size, and looks like a large grape. The reason for the recent craze is mona vie acai berries are a superb source of important fatty acids, oleic acids and phytosterols. Ccombined these acids reduce the bad cholesterol and increase the good cholesterol in our bodies. The acai berry also contains amino acids and vital trace elements needed for muscle contraction and regeneration. They possess vitamins a and e, high levels of calcium, and phosphorus, as well as high concentrations of polyphenols, making it a great source of antioxidants. In fact, it is a much better source of antioxidants than oranges, blueberries, and even red wine. Completed studies show a link between the use of antioxidants and increased longevity, and the antioxidants help in the fight against premature aging, cardiovascular, cancer, and eye disease. Acai may also boost brain activity, make the skin healthier, support healthy cholesterol levels, and provide natural energy.
Sounds pretty good huh? Well there’s one more thing, and it has to do with the environment. An acai palm also produces “hearts of palm” which has become popular on salads and entrees all over the world. The problem with hearts of palm is that, until the benefits of the acai berrya were realized, entire acai palm trees was harvested just for the heart of palm. These trees grow in our rainforests which means entire acres of acai palm trees were being harvested in our rainforests to provide hearts of palm. Today, thanks to the acai berry and its benefits, many of these trees are left to grow and bear the acai berry to produce mona vie. What does that all mean? It means consuming less heart of palm and more mona vei actually saves our rainforests.
