Life is a precious gift of god given to man and it should be our topmost responsibility to take well care of this magnificent gift given to us. With each and every passing day in our life somehow we are spoiling this most valuable gift and the main harm is caused to our lives because of the improper diet that most of us usually have. The food we intake everyday is harmful for the body to some extent and this never ending accumulation of the unwanted stuff in our body can cause various serious problems which we can never think of. The cause behind them are the different kind of preservatives present in our food, juices etc. Now you must be thinking then what we have to eat or drink. Here is the solution- the berries specially Acai Berry and the Maqui Berry. Both the berries have high nutritive value which can be simply transferred in our body by the intake of these fruits. Both have very high amount of antioxidants which help us in a number of ways. The antioxidants are those
substances which can stop the production of carcinogenic cells, which can cause cancer, and also prevent many heart diseases. These help us by protecting our body from free radicals which are unstable molecules and increase the cell multiplicity vigorously and abnormally. Free radicals act as the trigger for cell growth that is the presence of free radicals in our body can increase the growth rate of cells.

Both the berries are pytochemicals. Phytochemicals are those chemicals which are produced by plants to resist themselves from different diseases. But these phytochemicals can also be beneficial to human beings to a large extent. These are the chemicals which help us, besides our immune system, to live healthy and a protective life against the diseases like cancer. The best properties of these berries are the antioxidant activity which they get from the phytochemical named anthocyanin, a class of phytochemicals.

The Acai berry is a fruit which looks like grapes and a well matured Acai Berry is purple in color having a single large seed inside it. This berry is most common among the Amazon people of Brazil as their one of the most important food components. On the other hand Maqui Berry is a fruit that is deep purple in color and is found in one of the cleanest regions of the earth, Patagonia in South Africa. The Acai Berry which is known to all of us is a wonder source of antioxidants but as we all know to achieve better, healthier and to live longer we always look for the best choice which have the capability to fulfill our essential nutritive values to the maximum extent and can protect us from different diseases. Then what we are looking for, here is the miraculous stock of antioxidants just in a berry called the super berry of the world that is Maqui Berry. It contains about 4-10 times ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) than Acai Berry. Acai Berry is helpful to increase th
e clarity of an individuals mind, and helps to protect our body from some of the heart diseases and cancer too. On the other hand, Maqui Berry is known to reduce the inflammation in the body. It serves as the tasty tablet that can help to relive us from our pain. It can also be of great use to look youthful and can be a source to supply maximum energy to our body system. The information about this marvelous Berry is spreading frequently day by day and the health conscious consumers are thereby increasing and are even ready to pay any cost for such a miraculous fruit.

But now your mind must be engaged with a lot of confusions because of the presence of omega 3 in Acai Berry in which Maqui Berry lacks. On the other hand antioxidant value that the Maqui Berry has is unbeatable by any other fruit; so the consumers should go for the Maqui Berry which can help us better to fight against the cancer and heart diseases etc.

Now the ball is in the court of Maqui Berry because of its more efficient nutritive values that can help us to protect our body against free radicals which otherwise can even cause many life sucking diseases.

But one thing that we all should keep in our mind while choosing the product of these Berries is that the manufacturing processes kills many of its components and thereby reducing its benefits drastically. So if you want to have all the benefits from this fruit we should take its Freeze-dried form or in the form of Berry extract or juices which can supply maximum essential components of the Berry in spite of its higher cost. But as we all know ‘‘we get what we pay for” so to get healthy life you have to pay higher for that; as life is precious and our motive is to make it healthy and longer.
