WHERE CAN YOU FIND ACEROLA CHERRIES? Plant?

Acerola is native to the Caribbean and primarily grows in warm, tropical parts of the world.

Origin is Barbados Island and the Caribbeans, Central America – Mexico and Brazil and certain southernmost of North America – Mississippi, Florida, and Northern India.    However, I have tried it and planted it here in Malaysia. The result beyond believes, in actual fact its bear's fruits more, all year round, bigger in size and the climate warm, hots and humid are just right for this robust plant: Acerola Cherry or Barbados Cherry.

Because acerola is so high in vitamin C, consuming 3-5 pieces a day contains the full daily recommended value of vitamin C! Not to mention it’s great for your skin, too.

 Are you looking for a natural way to support a healthy immune system, increase your collagen production or simply improve your health? Just make some effort to plant Acerola Cherry.  A small bushy shrub, when fully grown about 2 years may only require a space of 2 meters in diameter and height of about 2 meters – regular trimming will ensure the conservation of space. 

ACEROLA CHERRIES REASON No.3

 

ACEROLA CHERRIES REASON No.3 - - They are great for your skin.

If your skin is looking dull, dry, or irritated – acerola may be the answer!

Vitamin C is not only vital for your body, but also the health of your skin. Whether applied topically or consumed, vitamin C can reduce redness and even skin tone because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

Younger skin contains high concentrations of vitamin C, but as we age those concentrations deplete causing a loss in elastin and collagen. This results in fine lines and wrinkles. Luckily, vitamin C has been shown to boost collagen production and even reverse the damage of aged skin.

 Acerola can also provide deep hydration, because it decreases transepidermal water loss, allowing your skin to better retain moisture.

Another vitamin that promotes skin health is vitamin A, which can also be found in acerola cherries. Researchers from Brown University found that people whose diets included high levels of vitamin A had a 17% reduction in risk for getting squamous cell carcinoma – the second most common form of skin cancer – compared to those who ate low amounts of foods and supplements rich in vitamin A.

The team also found that the majority of vitamin A came from the participants' diets, particularly from fruits and vegetables, rather than from animal-based foods or vitamin supplements.

ACEROLA CHERRIES REASON No:2

 

ACEROLA CHERRIES REASON No:1 - They are good for your brain.

In need of a brain boost? Acerola cherries can help!

Thanks to their high levels of anthocyanins, these berries can improve the function of brain receptors and help protect against memory loss and other cognitive disorders.

Due to its high level of antioxidants, acerola can also reduce inflammation and oxidative stress that cause damage to brain cells and neurons.

Though clinical trials are still scarce, plant-derived antioxidants offer promising evidence in slowing down the progression of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. 

The brain can be described as the most complex structure in the human body. It is made up of neurons and neuroglia, the neurons being responsible for sending and receiving nerve impulses or signals. The microglia and astrocytes are essential for ensuring the proper functioning of neurons. They are quick to intervene when neurons become injured or stressed. As they are sentinels of neuron well-being, pathological impairment of microglia or astrocytes could have devastating consequences for brain function. 

It is assumed that neuroglial activation is largely determined by neuronal signals. Acute injury causes neurons to generate signals that inform neuroglia about the neuronal status. Depending on how severe a degree of neuronal injury, neuroglia will either nurse the injured neurons into regeneration or kill them if they are not viable. These types of neuroglial responses are considered to represent normal physiological and neuroprotective responses. In contrast, some processes that are chronic in nature persistently activate neuroglia eventually causing a failure in their physiological ability to maintain homeostasis. This could have detrimental consequences and may lead to bystander damage due to neuroglial dysfunction.

 

Acerola Cherry Reason No:1 - The Ancient Superfruit

To put it in perspective: RDV of vitamin C for women is 75mg and 90mg for men. While you’d have to eat 1 cup of oranges to meet the RDV, you can get the same amount from just 3 acerola cherries.

 Why the big fuss over vitamin C? 

Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient; the body doesn’t produce it on its own. That means you have to get it from your diet.

The best source of vitamin C in fruits and vegetables, but most people turn to supplements. While supplements may help prevent deficiencies, they often contain synthetic ingredients which are usually derived from GMO corn.

Another reason why getting your vitamin C is better from whole foods: absorption! In fact, vitamin C in Acerola is better absorbed by human beings than synthetic ascorbic acid.

Thanks to its high amounts of vitamin C and other essential vitamins and minerals, this tropical fruit has a wide range of health benefits.

ACEROLA CHERRIES REASON No:1 - It's can boost your immune system.

As I mentioned before, acerola contains an abundant amount of vitamin C, which is why it’s used to help combat the common cold, flu, and Scurvy.

Multiple studies show a direct link between consuming whole foods high in vitamin C and having a strong immune system. This is due to the fact that vitamin C encourages the production of white blood cells, known as lymphocytes and phagocytes. These cells help protect your body against certain infections and viruses.

Because of this, vitamin C consumption has been shown to reduce the longevity of colds by anywhere from 5% to 21%. In older people who required hospitalization for severe cold symptoms, even a dose of 200 mg of vitamin C was shown to reduce the clinical severity of the illness.
