Dr Oz and Acai Berry

By Ingram Laura

After Dr. Mehmet Oz raved about the benefits of acai berry products on the Oprah Winfrey show it was officially declared that acai berries are a superfood. When one thinks of Dr Mehmet Oz and acai berry they are thought of together. Dr. Mehmet Oz is one of the most celebrated cardiac surgeons of our time. He comes from Turkish parents and his heritage is most important to him.

The acai berry is grown on a specific palm tree in the rainforests in Brazil, and is filled with many nutrients. The vitamin and mineral count is extremely high, along with omega three and antioxidants. The acai berry is extremely fragile and must be freeze dried almost immediately after harvesting. It has become in extreme demand in the U.S. and around the world in the past few years.

The question is where does one purchase acai berry products? Health food stores will be carrying a wide selection of manufactured products. These products include health bars, drinks, powders and health supplements. Many new flavors are added daily, even though the original flavor which is a cross between red wine and chocoate is very good.

Dr Oz's days are filled with many activities, and he is involved in many areas of medicine. His greatest passion is heart surgery. He is very well known for authoring many books, TV and radio appearances, speaking to many groups and spending time with his growing young family.

Dr. Mehmet Oz and acai berry are a team. He feels this is the most healthful fruit that has been discovered. It also has great weight loss properties, as it is extremely filling and amazingly nutritious. - 17944
