Acai & High Blood Pressure

Dr. Hugo Rodier, MD, writes:

“About half of Americans die from high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Fortunately, 80% of those deaths could be prevented by changing the toxic lifestyles at the root of these diseases. Hypertension, heart disease, and strokes are problems that start with cell membranes lining our arteries.

By improving the health of our intestines, açai increases the levels of Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) that are indispensable to the health of the cell membranes lining the arteries. The high amino acid content of the açai berry is also helpful in reducing the risk of heart disease. Açai is also high in monounsaturated essential oils, fats and trace minerals, which are indispensable for cell membrane, insulin, and arterial health.”
