This new dietary supplement is supposed to provide the willing and paying customer with increased detoxification effects, improved digestion, better skin, lower cholesterol, may be reversing diabetes and even increasing the penis size.

Women should at least frown at the last claim.

When faced with a multitude of products, like the Acai Berry Edge, Acai Bery Select or Acai Ultra Burn, you may think that there is merit to the claims, or perhaps that this dietary supplements actually work.

Well, if you truly believe they work, there is a fifty per cent chance that the placebo effect will help you actually lose weight. The detoxifying and anti oxidation effects attributed to the supplement are actually derived from the plant itself and not from any of the supplements.

It is interesting to note that grapes and strawberries perform much better in that area.

Suggested intake ratio is about two pills per day, one in the morning, one in the evening, half an hour before the pertinent meals.

Not that the acai berry extract contains anything that would overdose you, the added substances to the new fashion drug are the source of concern and prospective liability charges.

If you want to take Acai Berry weight loss product, you can do it. To my opinion, the Acai Berry is just an “extra” ingredients to the supplement, similar to green tea weight loss supplements and other herbal ingredients. Any Acai Berry product can be good for you, you just have to look for other stuff beyond the Acai Berry.

Don’t rely on only diet pills. Always drink plenty of water and be active!

Which Acai Berry Product do you try?

Fruitarian Movement

The explanation is very easy, the fruitarians, which is a movement devoted to eating only fruits, try to eat only fruits all the time.

There are not many who really remain fruitarians, because some nutritional deficiencies appear.   For instance, there is no fruit source for Vitamin B 12, necessary for the formation of blood cells and functionality of the nervous system. Other essential nutrients which are missing are calcium, iron, Vitamin D and riboflavin.

Many fruitarians develop a sect like eating disorder, where they regard all food other than fruit as “evil”; the clinical name is orthorexia nervosa.

The Trouble with an All Fruit Diet

The main problem is that all fruit contains a lot of fruit sugar, therefore losing weight is probably not going to happen, because you will need to eat a lot of fruits to satiate your hunger.

The blood sugar spikes, when sugary substances are ingested, when the level of sugar plummets down, you feel hungry again. Since fruit is digested easily, you will be hungry most of the time.

On the other hand, using the fruit diet to detox before a regular diet is a very smart move. Generally it is enough to be on a fruit diet for one to three days, in order to detox completely.

Bad Fruit Will Make You Sick

The detox takes a very short time, only make sure you use organic fruits.  Nothing with pesticides or chemical washes.  Drink a lot of water, too!

Remember to take some supplements for the nutrients that are missing from the fruitarian diet.

This is where the energy boost comes in.

If you are on a low carbohydrate diet, or are avoiding carbohydrates completely, vitamin B and associated B sub groups cannot provide you with an energy boost.

What was earlier assumed to be one vitamin, vitamin B, has proven to be a bunch of separate and distinct vitamins.  There is now a subdivision of the vitamin B complex to properly list all independent vitamins in the B category.

There Are 8 Vitamins Defined As the B Complex:

Thiamine or vitamin B1
Riboflavin or vitamin B2
Niacin or vitamin B3
Pantothenic Acid or vitamin B5
Pyridoxine or vitamin B6
Pyridoxamine and Pyridoxal
Biotin or vitamin B7
Folic Acid or vitamin B9, sometimes also referred to as vitamin M and vitamin B12 or Cobalamin.

Yes, I realize vitamins B4, B8, are missing.  I don’t know why science does this.

There are Methylcobolamin and Adenosylcobalamin listed as the active forms of vitamin B12.  Vitamin B12 is the only vitamin which cannot be found in plant products, therefore vegans and vegetarians have some trouble replacing this essential nutrient.
Other vitamin B sub-numbers have been assigned to various nutrients, but are currently not believed to be vitamins or essential to human survival. All of the eight vitamins in the B complex are available in several natural sources, such as bananas and potatoes, turkey, tuna and beer yeast.  Quit jumping up and down beer fans, the alcohol in beer will only make you sleepy!

The Greeks adopted this idea, like they adopted many things from the Egyptians, and this colonic idea persisted to recent times.

Colonic cleansing can be done with the oral cleansing supplements, where laxatives are used to purge the intestinal tract.  It can be also done by colon hydrotherapy.  This is where an enemas ares performed and the colon is cleansed with water. Home enema kits are being sold for private use and have found widespread application within the adult industry and private followers of alternative sexual practices, where a very clean colon is of importance (as you might imagine).

These handy gadgets are pretty safe to use and can be employed for colon care at home.

What Does It Mean To “Colonic Cleanse”?

The human body is capable of removing all the waste material properly, unless there is a reason why the natural waste removal does not function properly, like colon cancer or by eating sharp things that can nick or damage us during elimination.  One example is of that would be with popcorn kernels causing snags in the intestines.  Most likely if it can cut the skin inside your mouth on the way down, it can do damage on the way out as well.

These small snags in the colon collect our waste.  Think of it as having dirt trapped under your fingernails and having to wash and soak your hands to get the dirt out. Colonic cleansing then can be thought of as removing the dirt so that the digestive system functions more effectively.

Colon Health and the Twentieth Century

Colonic cleansing has become a popular practice in the past few years and for good reason.  Spa’s have colon hydrotherapy on their service menu’s, colon health home kits are being sold in stores, and clean colon products, supplements and drinks are selling off shelves.  There are many products to buy and the choices can be somewhat overwhelming.

Detox diets are nutritional plans which are devised to help detoxify the body of ingested or inhaled toxins.

One of the best ways to find out which elements are toxic for your body is to do a food tolerance and allergy test. Eliminating these from your diet will do basically what a long term detox diet would do, or what a vegan diet is supposed to do.

If you are looking for a short term detox diet, then there are plenty to choose from.  Cleansing your body should not be done without a prior doctor’s visit.  A healthy detox is pretty restrictive and  nutritional deficiencies are bad consequences.  Your medical professional should make sure that the diet does not introduce harmful side effects.

How To Detox

Detoxing the body can be done with a lemonade diet, with the lemon diet, with a fruit diet, with a fruits and vegetables diet, depending on the degree of detox, the duration and the desired effect. Any liquid diet can be viewed as a detox diet, as long as the liquid is no soft drink and no alcoholic beverage or similar. Fruit juices can be used, or vegetable juices, to detox the body, whereby all the aforementioned diets should not last beyond five days without thorough medical supervision
