I like being healthy and I like to take advantage of anything that is going to give me that edge.

Obvious I've heard of acai, but I'm just not sure what it can do for me. I've heard loads of good and bad things about it. I'm about to give up.

Can someone summarize for me?

There are loads of benefits. There are loads of benefits. Check this page for a distilled version of the benefits, and this page for the full scientific version!

Some highlights:

• Increases Energy & Stamina
• Fights Cancer & Disease
• Fights Obesity
• Boosts the Immune System
• Maintains Good Cholesterol & Fights Heart Disease
• Improves Vision
• Helps With Digestion
• Promotes a More Peaceful Sleep
• Helps Inflammation and Collagen
• Helps The Nervous System
• Strengthens Large and Small Blood-Vessels
• Helps with Diabetes
• Improves and maintains healthy sight

And loads of others.

For me the best part is that it just makes me feel better.

Then you've got the amino acids, the antioxidants and the essential omega fatty acids. I'm no scientist but I know that all of those things can have enormous benefits on the body.

I'm one of those lucky people that has lost weight on it. I've got other health problems that it seems to suppress a little bit, too. Not sure why, but I'll take it if I can get it!

I've just been surfing around and found this article on acai berries combating cancer.

Even if it doesn't help your weight (which, it seems, it will) then it's worth trying just on the strength of this.

EDIT: Just noticed that the article I've referenced actually references the one mentioned earlier in the thread!
