So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Lose Weight With Acai Berries

By Damien Surplus

The acai fruit is a fruit that is a dark purple and grows in the rain forests of South and Central America. The little fruit has become very popular recently and named as a super fruit and amazing new solution for weight loss. Even famous celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, have sung the fruit's praises and helped to make it a popular weight loss product.

With all the hype and claims about weight loss products out there, it is important to understand that the acai berry by itself cannot help you to lose weight. Like any effective weight loss program, you will still need to eat right and exercise on a regular basis. However, that doesn't mean the acai berry isn't effective in helping you to lose weight.

Although the acai berry alone is not the sole answer to weight loss, the berry does have several important beneficial properties which can help you lose weight. The berry is rich in fatty acids, antioxidants, phytosterols, fiber and minerals. These are all important things that your body needs to stay healthy and can utilize to help you lose weight.

One of the critical things you need to do to lose weight is to boost your metabolism. This helps to burn calories faster and more effectively. The acai berry is rich in Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids which help to increase your metabolism and therefore burn fat and calories more efficiently.

Acai berries are also full of fiber which offers you a couple of important benefits related to losing weight. First of all fiber helps your digestive tract to break down and move food through and out of your body rather than storing it as fat. Eating foods rich in fiber also helps to keep you feeling full and you will be less likely to reach for high calorie snack foods.

Acai berries also contain photosterols which also benefit your digestive tract. Photosterols help to improve your cardiovascular system as well as assisting in keeping your digestive tract healthy. Having a healthy digestive tract helps more food through your body and at a faster rate.

Another thing acai berries are rich in is amino acids. Your body needs amino acids to develop and keep your muscles working efficiently. When you have strong muscles working efficiently, you will burn fat and calories more effectively which helps you to lose weight.

It is true that acai berries cannot in of themselves cause weight loss and some of the hype surrounding the berry needs to be viewed with a skeptical eye. However, there is no denying the many healthy benefits that the acai berry offers. The acai berry, through its natural properties, can help to boost your metabolism which helps you burn fat and calories more effectively, improve your digestion and keep your digestive tract healthy, help to build muscle, keep you feeling full and increase your energy which all factor in to help you lose weight.
