Acai berries have many medicinal qualities, among which, is the ability to heal dysfunctional colons. The two qualities that make the berries so good for colons are its high fibrous content, which cleans the colon, and the presence of anthocyanins, which soothes the colon.

The magic of the berry’s colon cleansing ability lies in its high fiber make up. Anyone who has suffered from constipation knows that fibers are essential in maintaining a healthy clean colon, and a smooth efficient digestive system. The tough strands of fiber scrape out the residue in the intestine, leaving it cleaner than other softer foods. This maintains the health of the colon, keeping it from congesting, and keeping the digestive process effortless.

Second, chemicals in the acai berries known as anthocyanins prevent colon inflammation. This further aids the digestive process by soothing intestinal pains and cooling down inflammations.

Together, the fibrous content and the anthocyanin component of the acai berry make it the ideal colon cleanser. They work together to make the colon function smoothly, like an efficient machine. First, the fiber fixes the machine. The fiber content is like a brush, that strips away grime and rust off a machine to get it to work. The second part is the anthocyanin. This soothes the colon, just like oil lubricates a machine to get it to run smoothly. Together, these two components heal a rusted broken machine (your colon), and turn it into a new efficient well-oiled mechanism. Both are vital to the preservation of a healthy colon.
