DIET TO RECEIVE A WELL DESERVED BOOST
Australian dieticians praise introduction
of RioLife Açaí
Dieticians and healthcare
practitioners are welcoming the introduction of a new natural energy food derived
from the Brazilian Amazon as an overdue option for Australians looking to add
a tasty, versatile and natural energy source to their daily health and beauty
routine.
Açaí (pronounced Ah- Sigh- Ee) is a small
purple coloured berry, high in antioxidants and vitamins, including vitamin e,
iron, calcium and magnesium which has now been introduced to the Australian diet
by Sydney based exotic energy food specialists RioLife.
The
berry in RioLife Açaí is wild harvested in the Brazilian rain forest
from an Amazon palm, often referred to by locals as the 'tree of life'.
Sydney
dietician and native Brazilian Flavia Fayet notes that with greater levels of
stress being placed on Australians due to economic downturn and ever growing work
commitments, more focus should be placed on the introduction of long lasting natural
energy foods as part of our regular diet.
"Given current
trends by the Australian Government and healthcare professional groups to review
diet and lifestyle for long term health benefits, a responsible approach to diet
and lifestyle is crucial for overall health and wellbeing," says Flavia.
"Combined with proper diet and exercise, RioLife Açaí can help
your body function better by providing essential vitamins and minerals, fibre
and essential oils, leaving you with more energy to get on with the day ahead."
Naturally
packed full of antioxidants, RioLife Açaí also helps to fight the
visible signs of aging, replenishing the body with omega fatty acids, fibre, amino
acids and minerals. "Foods with high antioxidant activity help neutralise
free radicals which are known to damage cells in the body," says Flavia.
"One serve of RioLife Açaí is equal in antioxidants to approximately
120 blueberries (a regular breakfast food for many Australians) with the bonus
of almost no sugar at all; so not only is it great for helping you look great,
it's also full of long lasting energy to help you through the day"
