Nature has a big importance in my life, because it offers me freedom, peace and comfort and through years I read and learned much about the things that nature offers me to stay beautiful and healthy: walnut leaf and nettle infusion for my hair, chamomile for my skin, honey and berries for my health and many other plants that help me to stay fit. Through the years these “gifts of nature” were transformed in natural supplements. There are many, but I will mention a few commonly known ones: aloe extract, green tea extract, ginco biloba, melon extract, garlic, etc. I think that these natural supplements are more accessible and safer that all the toxic ingredients that are present in our everyday life and products.
I have noticed that today, natural supplements and herbs are used very frequently in the food industry, the health industry, beauty and sports, because they fight off many diseases and disorders, treat various health problems and they help you to improve your general condition.
Although there are various important herbs and plants that are good for us to stay fit, I will talk to you about the acai berry. The acai palm has eight species of palm trees, that are native to Central and South America, they are cultivated for their fruit and for their superior hearts, but the most important part remains the fruit, the acai berry. These acai berries are small black-purple drupes and have a single large seed, but don`t under appreciate it for being small. It is widely consumed in Brazil, being an important component of diet, it is used in various forms. The acai berry became one of the most important natural supplement used in the health and food industry and this thing thank to Oprah Winfrey`s show, in which doctor Mehmet Oz recommended it many times as the number one natural product for weight loss. But women who are thin enough mustn't be discouraged, because acai berry juice and powder contain many antioxidants and nutrients, so it is good in combating heart problems, cancer, Alzheimer, also acai juice slows down the ageing process, improves metabolism and gives you energy, so you will live longer and you will be healthier. Like every kind of supplement it will change your eating habits, so it is important to be well informed before you use this product.
I think that we must remember that beside all the modern things that help us stay in shape, we must remember nature’s “gifts” that help us to stay fit, healthy and beautiful at any age.
