I read this recently in the Conde Nast Traveler..."the most remarkable local secret for almost all beauty needs is the pulp of the acai berry".
I know that some women are going to read this and be tempted to think that they to will have gorgeous bodies thanks to the acai berry. I don't think so.
Having been lucky enough to be married to a Brazilian woman, and spending quite a bit of time in Brazil, there is a lot more to great bodies than this little berry.
Don't get me wrong, I think that there are a lot of benefits from consuming the acai berry, beneficial fats, lots of antioxidants, etc. I drink an acai smoothie about 4-5 days a week. I use the powder form from Sambazon.
In contrast to most American women, most Brazilian women walk a lot more. They walk from their house to the bus, then walk to work. Those who live near the beach are often jogging, biking, playing on the beach, or working out in one of the many gyms.
Here in Los Angeles where I live, people drive everywhere. They walk from their door 8 steps to their car, pass by Starbucks another 20 steps, back into the car, get to work, park as close as possible, walk 20 steps, and sit down at the desk.
So what's the answer? If your body isn't that of a Brazilian beach beauty that you desire...get moving. Train harder, eat smarter, and enjoy life more. Maybe dancing a little Samba might help too!
