Açaí is a good source of essential fatty acids, why is this important I hear you ask
Essential Fatty acids are beneficial in aiding in the transport and absorption of various fat-soluble vitamins i.e. Vitamins A, E, D, and K.
Here are the percentages in Açaí berries
• 60% Oleic acid (Omega 9) which is a monounsaturated, essential fatty acid, Oleic acid can help lower LDL while maintaining HDL levels.
• 12% Linoleic acid (Omega 6) which is a polyunsaturated, essential fatty acid, has been found to lower both LDL and HDL levels .
High cholesterol levels particularly the LDL are a major health risk particularly in western cultures, luckily as you can see Açaí berries have a positive effect on aiding the reduction of these levels
