The acai berry is the fruit of the Acai palm tree. This is a tree that natively grew in what is now considered Latin America (Central and South America, that is). It has, in recent days, spread to other parts of the world - a spread attributed to quite an interesting myriad of health benefits it is said to have. These health benefits of berries of acai include protection from heart problems (as it lowers ‘bad cholesterol levels in the body), help with digestive problems, improved sleep quality and enhanced sexual performance. The later is because the Acai berry is said to have some aphrodisiac qualities. Additionally, use of the acai berry is said to help with energy replenishment (making users more energetic). Further still, use of the Acai berry has been observed to help with weight loss.
