On top of all the many benefits the acai berry brings to humans, one of the major ones is that it helps keep a good level of cholesterol.

The fatty acids and antioxidants in the acai berry battle with the bad cholesterol, which is called LDL, and at the same time keep the good cholesterol, which is called HDL. This plays a big role in fighting heart disease, so this is very useful to those at risk for this common problem (older people, people with members in their family who suffered from heart problems, etc..).

Not only do the fatty acids fight bad cholesterol, but they also absorb essential vitamins including Vitamin A, E, D, and K. The acai berry contains phytosterols (which are groups of plant phytochemicals) which help lower the amount of cholesterol absorbed inside a humans intestines. Many studies done on the acai berry prove that these phytosterols have the ability to lower the cholesterol in a human, up to a staggering 15 percent. So, for those who feel they are at risk (visit a doctor to find out if you are not sure), you should definitely consider the acai berry. It is not something that will show positive effects right away but if taken consistently will demonstrate positive effects.
