Wellness Trends" and the following is a link to an article featuring
their predictions:

Below are some highlights I like to make:
They reports that "Omega-3, Superfruits and Chocolate are three of the
four top trends to take the market by storm in 2006". "As of December
5 2005, ProductScan recorded 308 sku's of Omega-3 products launched in
the US market...compared to 171 in 2004." "Another
term that has made an impression on consumer consciousness is
'antioxidant'...helps prevent cell damage through oxidation...certain
fruits pack a particularly powerful punch."
"The Brazilian fruit Açai is said to be "nearing breakout status".
"Dark chocolate's reputation as an antioxidant is also gaining
ground...has been a major force in the unfolding antioxidant)
research."
I know of a product that contains ALL three (Omega-3, Acai & Dark
Chocolate !!!
If you take one fl. oz of the product (3 times a day), you would
already meet the 3,000 to
5,000 ORAC Value or Antioxidant Content per day recommended by USDA.
Studies have shown that by taking antioxidants one may experience:
* decrease cardiovascular disease by stopping bad cholesterol from
forming on vessel walls and narrowing the passage and lower cholesterol
levels
* prevent the formation of blood clots which can lead to heart attacks
and strokes
* increase the flexibility of blood vessels in order to lower blood
pressures and decrease the stress on the heart
* help the body utilize sugars better thus preventing diabetes as well
as decreasing the complications of diabetes - vision problems,
amputations, kidney problems
* prevent dental caries and gum disease
* improve memory and slow down dementia
* prevent certain types of cancer
* improve breathing problems
* improve the quality of your skin
* decrease the inflammation association with arthritis, fibromyalgia,
or any inflammatory disease
* decrease the size of the prostate and prevent urinary tract
infections.
* provide energy
* improve liver function
* improve depression
* help with weight gains and decrease appetites
Do you know Acai Berry:
* has more proteins then an average egg

bull.

calcium. Acai has all natural Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2

Anti-Oxidant) then red wine grapes.
* has a high level of fibers that is good for elderly and for people
who have problems with digestive organs.
* has two essential fatty acids known as Omega 6 (Linoleic acid) and
Omega 9 (Oleic acid). Research shows that these fatty acids maintain
normal cholesterol levels.
* Acai's Anti-Oxidant factors play a large role in maintenance of
vascular cardiac system, which is important for better blood
circulation.

the world for that fact.
