Benefits Of Acai Berry

Found naturally in the Amazon rain forest, acai berries have been used for centuries by local tribes for their natural healing properties, so it is no wonder why this nutritious berry has been transformed into a natural weight loss aid.

Producing no side effects, alongside acai berries natural capacity to encourage fast immediate weight loss, this nutrient dense berry is ripe with antioxidants proven to prevent: cardiovascular disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Pollen/Berry Allergies

If you suffer from a hypersensitivity to acai or similar berries, or have pollen allergies, we do recommend that you avoid trying acai berry products. Although cases reported have only been minor, acai berries may aggravate your symptoms and as a precaution you should consult with your doctor or a nutritionist first before trying these berries.

Acai Berry Supplements

With no known drug interactions, individuals taking medications for high blood pressure or are known to be pregnant, can safely take 100% pure acai berry supplements without having to worry about any negative interactions.

Most manufacturers recommend taking 1,000 to 4,000mg of acai berry supplements a day in order to experience credible weight loss results, though this consumption should be judged on the potency of these supplements first before taking.

Acai Berry Juices/Purees

Acai Berry Purees are traditionally formulated using mashed acai berries. For this reason, there are no major side effects connected to Acai Berry Puree.

In the case of juices, manufacturers commonly mix acai berry with a mixture of other fruit juices and as a result it is possible that these fruit juices may cause minor side effects.

It is possible though by consuming too much of these acai berry juices to experience mild diarrhoea; however this is no different from other fruit juices. If you are concerned though, we suggest taking no more than 4 ounces of Acai Berry Puree or 12-16 ounces of acai berry juices.

Mixed Ingredient Acai Berry Products

Although pure, unaltered acai berry is free from side effects, following the production of mixed acai berry products there is a possibility of side effects.

In their quest to enhance acai berries natural qualities as well as save on money, many of these new products contain additional ingredients, including inert fillers, guarana (natural caffeine substitute), fruit juices and sugars.

Alongside their minimalization of the acai berry fruit itself, the overall potency of these products is dramatically reduced, and as of yet have not been tested to see their long term effects.

For this reason, we suggest you avoid trying this product - if you have got any pre-existing health problems – until these products have been accurately tested.

Which are the safest?

Whether you suffer from any underlying health problems or not, we recommend that you stick to only 100% pure, unaltered acai berry products such as Pure Acai Berry.

Notably the most effective acai berry product on the market, Pure Acai Berry:

• Offers you a massive 1500mg per a serving - you only need a minimum of 1000mg to see results
• Is freeze dried and vacuumed immediately, ensuring the highest grade of Acai berry anywhere online
• Offers immediate fast weight loss from day 1
• Fights fatigue
• Is ripe with antioxidants proven to boost your immune system, remove toxins and increase your energy levels

Summer Weight Loss Made Easy


You will save yourself a lot of heartache if you plan for summer weight loss. If you make some simple adjustments to your habitual diet and resolve to exercise regularly for at least 5 days a week you will achieve a natural weight loss. The suggestions given here can easily be followed throughout the year and you will be a happy person when you see the change it makes in your health and looks.

Diets alone do not produce a sustainable weight loss. The most efficient way to decrease and maintain long term low body fat is through healthy diet and exercises. Weight loss has two vital components: (1) cut down intake of excess calories which increase fat in the body; (2) exercise the body which will help in burning body fat. The process of energy production in cells in your body is called Metabolism; greater the rate of metabolism is more is the fat you burn helping weight loss. Remember that fat loss takes patience and persistence.

Following suggestions for your diet are not only for summer weight loss. They are simple to follow and could be followed throughout the year with benefits.

• Water is an essential component of the body and performs vital functions in your system
Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day;
It is a natural suppressant of appetite;
It helps kidneys remove toxins and thus helps liver metabolize more fat;
One gallon of cold water is equivalent to running 3 miles as far as burning calories is concerned.

• Eat four or five times a day – smaller portions -instead of two or three times; this will help burn fat and lose weight;

• Eat fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, peas, lentils, nuts. They are high in fiber. Fiber content helps decrease sugar craving. Cuts down fat absorption and also works as an appetite suppressant.

• Alcohol slows metabolism of the body and helps the body in storing fat.

• Saturated fats and sugar are strictly no-no for weight watchers.

• Consumption of Omega 3 fatty acids increases metabolism, energy levels and thus, is helpful in weight loss. Increase use of Fish ands flaxseed oils;

• Certain spices such as pepper, ginger, mustard increase metabolism; Cinnamon, bay leaf, and clove help decrease sugar cravings.

Two types of exercisers, performed for about 20 to 30 minutes a day, are necessary for a healthy body. Exercises may be performed in the morning or evening.

• Muscular exercises are an efficient way of increasing metabolism. During muscular training the muscles are broken down and more is the need of energy for metabolism to repair the damage. Thus body fat is used up to do perform this repair activity when your body is resting;

• Cardiovascular Aerobic exercises directly burn fat. Exercises performed before a meal help suppress appetite and increase metabolism.

The above suggestions can be implemented by anybody, at any time to lose weight; they are helpful for summer weight loss too.

Resveratrol and Weight Loss


Resveratrol Antioxidants and Weight Loss: A Good Pairing?

The golden rule in weight loss is pretty simple: take in fewer calories than you expend in exercise. However, as any dieter will tell you, it’s far from easy. Americans spend billions of dollars a year on weight loss supplements, exercise programs and other diet aids—and still we can’t seem to win the battle of the bulge—even when we get desperate enough to try risky surgery or fad diets.

Recently a new product has come to light that may help people trying to lose weight stay on the healthy end of the spectrum: Resveratrol Select, which is unlike many diet supplements in that it uses a combination of natural and herbal ingredients designed to help the body stay healthy while losing weight.

How? By mimicking certain aspects of the Mediterranean diet.Studies have shown that part of America’s war with weight lies in the uniquely modern American combination of stressful lifestyle and fast-food consumption, and that the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle seem to be more conducive to healthier weight levels and longevity.

In fact, much as been made on the news in recent months of the purported “French Paradox,” (how the French eat a high-fat diet, enjoy rich desserts, drink wine and still have better cardiovascular health than the rest of us).

One of the biggest differences between the American and French diet seems to be the wine consumption, and red wine (a staple on most Mediterranean tables) contains one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, resveratrol, which is a key ingredient in Resveratrol Select.

In addition to wine, resveratrol is also found in grape skins, blueberries, cranberries and other plants, and recent animal and in vitro studies indicate that it can have a positive effect on helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, supporting insulin health and optimizing metabolic and immune pathways that protect cells and improve mitochondrial function.

* And one capsule of Resveratrol Select includes as much resveratrol as 200 glasses of wine—without the added calories that alcohol can add to the waistline.

But consuming resveratrol alone isn’t enough to help with weight loss—so the manufacturers of Resveratrol Select also added a different type of antioxidant, Green Tea Extract (EGCG), which could make a big difference.

Over time, green tea consumption helps increase metabolism, burn fat and reduce fat storage due to its caffeine and L-theanin content, which can be pivotal in helping to maintain energy for exercise.

*Resveratrol Select combines these two powerful antioxidants with yet another energy boosting ingredient, Chromium, a niacin-based mineral that plays an important role in how the body uses insulin to burn sugars, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for energy.

*Although relatively new to the market, Resveratrol Select seems to be making a big splash, and many people are taking advantage of the free trial offer to see how well the product works for them.

The trial offer also includes two bonus tools to help with weight loss: an e-book with over 70 weight loss tips, and a weight loss visualization audio.Of course, consuming fewer calories while burning more is the most efficient form of weight loss, and it’s always a good idea to inform your doctor before taking a weight loss supplement, but this new combination herbal supplement is worth a look for those concerned about maintaining good health while losing weight.

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) is warning consumers to stop using Hydroxycut products.

Made by Iovate Health Sciences USA, they are being recalled in the United States due to reports of serious adverse reactions there.

Hydroxycut, a slimming supplement used by people trying to shed kilos and by bodybuilders to better define their muscles, has been linked to 23 cases of adverse reactions affecting the liver, including one death due to liver failure.

Hydroxycut products are distributed by Global Active in Singapore through GNC outlets and other retail outlets, including pharmacies. They are also sold over the Internet.

To date, no local reports of adverse reactions have been received in relation to the consumption of Hydroxycut products.

However, the HSA is concerned and does not want consumers to be exposed to any health risk. Global Active has initiated a voluntary recall of Hydroxycut products here.

The HSA advises consumers who have been taking them to stop doing so immediately and discard them. If they experience any adverse reactions or feel unwell, they should seek medical advice.

Symptoms of liver injury include jaundice, brown urine, nausea, vomiting, light-coloured stools, excessive fatigue, weakness, stomach or abdominal pain, itching and loss of appetite.

A GNC spokesman said the company started recalling the products after it was informed early yesterday by GNC in the United States.

Said the spokesman: 'GNC stores in Singapore have sold Hydroxycut for about 10 years. It had helped many shed some excess weight.

FDA says these products can put the DIE in ‘Diet’

It’s getting to be that time of the year, when weight-loss companies start making us worry about what we might look like in a bathing suit this summer. If you decide that you need to slim down, however, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has this word of advice - be careful about taking pills, powders or potions that might contain prescription drugs and/or undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredients.

The FDA recently issued a second round of warnings about weight-loss products. This time the list has grown to 72 products - including Herbal Xenicol, Slimbionic, and Xsvelten - and is warning consumers about products containing fenproporex, fluoxetine, furosemide and cetilistat.

For the current list of products on the FDA’s list, click here

“These tainted weight loss products pose a great risk to public health, because they contain undeclared ingredients and, in some cases, contain prescription drugs in amounts that greatly exceed maximum recommended dosages,” said Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

“Consumers have no way of knowing that these products contain dangerous drugs that could cause serious consequences to their health,” Woodcock said.

The products on the FDA’s list - some of which are marketed as dietary supplements - are promoted and sold on various Web sites, and in some retail stores and beauty salons.

Some of the products claim to be “natural,” or to contain only “herbal” ingredients, but actually contain potentially harmful ingredients not listed on the products’ labels or in promotional advertisements.

Antidepressants, anti-seizure medication, experimental drugs

These products have not been approved by the FDA, are illegal, and include the following undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredients:

  • sibutramine (an appetite suppressant available by prescription only and a controlled substance)
  • fenproporex - a controlled substance not approved for marketing in the United States;
  • fluoxetine - an antidepressant available by prescription only;
  • bumetanide - a potent diuretic available by prescription only;
  • furosemide - a potent diuretic available by prescription only;
  • rimonabant - a drug not approved for marketing in the United States;
  • cetilistat - an experimental obesity drug not approved for marketing in the United States;
  • phenytoin - an anti-seizure medication available by prescription only; and
  • phenolphthalein - a solution used in chemical experiments and a suspected cancer-causing agent that is not approved for marketing in the United States.

The FDA has inspected several companies associated with the sale of these products and is working on product recalls.

And if the companies are uncooperative, the FDA “may take additional enforcement steps, such as issuing warning letters or initiating seizures, injunctions, or criminal charges.”

The FDA advises consumers who have used any products containing these ingredients to stop taking them and consult their health care professional immediately. (And perhaps check with your doctor in future, before taking any weight loss product.)

Seizures and sudden death

“The health risks posed by these products can be very serious and include high blood pressure, seizures, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), palpitations, heart attack, and stroke,” the FDA states in its warning.

“Sibutramine, a controlled substance, was found in many of these products at levels much higher than the maximum daily dosage for Meridia, the only FDA-approved drug product containing sibutramine. These higher levels of sibutramine can increase the incidence and severity of these health risks. Fenproporex, another controlled substance, can cause arrhythmia and possible sudden death.”

If you experience a serious reaction to any of these products, the FDA asks that you or your doctor report this to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program, either online, by regular mail, FAX or phone.

If you mail your information, you can download the postage-paid FDA form 3500, available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/medwatch-online.htm and mail it to: MedWatch, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787. Or FAX it to 1-800- FDA-0178.

Or you can call in your report at 1-800- FDA-1088.
