What Are The Benefits Of Cupuacu

"The Taste of Brazil" Cupuaçu is a primary food source of the Amazon.
Due to its many health benefits, Cupuaçu is called "A Pharmacy in a Fruit."

Some of the reported benefits of Cupuaçu include:
Increases libido
Boosts immune system
Reduces the signs of aging and promotes younger-looking skin
Increases energy and stamina
Increases your body's ability to fight disease and cancer cells
Helps to lower cholesterol levels
Works as a cell-protective antioxidant drink
Destroys free radicals

Did you know . . .

The antioxidants in Cupuaçu are extremely potent and provide outstanding cardiovascular and immune system benefits. This is because antioxidants are essential to help us neutralize free radicals, the compounds that often cause the body to grow wrinkled and develop degenerative disease. Powerful antioxidants are also an excellent way to strengthen your cardiovascular system as they protect artery walls from the damage that can lead to heart disease by destroying the damage free radicals cause.

The marvelous discovery about the polyphenols in Cupuaçu is that they are totally unique, and have never been seen before. This new revelation is causing a stir in scientific circles and has prompted experts to give the new polyphenols in Cupuaçu their own name. These theograndins are excellent antioxidants, and can help you achieve optimum health the natural way. Theograndins found in Cupuaçu were uniquely effective at possibly destroying colon cancer cells, among others.

The fruit also contains essential fatty acids, such as the Omegas 3 and 6. These fatty acids help to reduce 'bad' cholesterol and keep the good cholesterol intact. This mix of antioxidants and essential fatty acids makes it an essential ingredient in the fight to maintain a healthy heart and cardiovascular system.

The Tikuna tribesmen of the Amazon have used Cupuaçu fruit and pulp as a natural source of energy, much like the energy found in caffeine in dark chocolate. Cupuaçu juice has even been used by Shamen to help with abdominal discomfort and midwives to help ease strong labor pains.

The fruit provides a host of healthy benefits for the body, especially for those who live in our stressful, fast paced world. It stimulates the immune system naturally, while increasing both energy and stamina without the nervousness or "jitters" that can be caused by other, synthetic caffeine sources.

#3	Açaí Berries This one has 10 times the antioxidants that grapes have and twice of blueberries and pomegranates, which are famously the ones that everyone holds up as the Superfood when it comes to fruit. Loaded with vitamins, it increases circulation, and of course most importantly lowers inflammation so it is sort of like aspirin of the jungle."
#4	Yerba Maté "It aids in digestion and helps your skin . . . It has the fatigue fighting benefits of coffee, but it doesn't stress your central nervous system and doesn't stress your muscles. So, you can drink it before your workout, you can mix it with different juices, and it doesn't take away from healthful benefits of other foods the way coffee does and in some cases the way tea does."
#5	Cupuaçu "Now this is the one nobody really knows about that I think is going to take the country by storm over the next couple of years. Cupuaçu is known in the Amazon Rainforest as a "pharmacy in a fruit". It is similar to the Cacao tree. It has the taste sort of like a cross between chocolate, passion fruit, and bananas . . . It is really a phenomenal food . . . Now this stuff, it destroys free radicals and is so high in antioxidants. This can literally help anything that ails you - from improving the texture of your skin to cleaning out your GI tract . . . This is the next great Superfood."

It's pronounced coo-pwah-sue and it's one of the main ingredients in Fruta Vida. It is another of those fantastic Brazilian Rainforest exotic herbal super fruits. Fresh from the Amazonian region of the world, this super antioxidant comes loaded with many health benefits. The Cupuacu fruit grows on the Cupuacu tree, which is a small to medium tree in the Rainforest canopy that belongs to the Cocoa family and can reach up to 20 meters in height. Cupuacu fruit has been a primary food source in the Rainforest for both indigenous peoples and animals alike.

Because of cupuacu's unique polyphenol empowerment, one should expect this nutritional to give skin a healthier, more radiant and youthful look by fortifying the skin to maintain its elasticity and suppleness.

Cupuacu will decrease the risk of chronic diseases since it prevents toxic overload by quenching many free radicals.

This makes the Cupuacu a real "one stop shop" for antioxidant replenishment. It is also rich in Vitamins B1, B2, & B3 (Niacin), as well as essential fatty acids and amino acids.

Respected food critic, Andrew Zimmern, forecasts that Cupuacu will become an extremely popular food choice for health conscious consumers in America, over the next few years.
