Acai berries and purple grapes have a lot in common. Both are said to have anti-aging properties, powerful cancer fighting potential, and are good for the cardiovascular system, the nervous system, and the digestive system (among others). What’s more, they both contain a high concentration of powerful antioxidants, the antioxidant in purple grapes being called resveratrol. Resveratrol is particularly good for the heart specifically, and the very reason why proponents of red wine say that it is so good for the heart).

Resveratrol is also contained (albeit in smaller quantities) in the skin and peel of other foods, like mulberries, peanuts, certain seeds, and honeybee propolis.

In addition to being beneficial for the skin and the heart, and for its purported anti-aging properties in general, resveratrol is also said to have weight loss benefits in that it helps boost energy levels and metabolism, decreasing the craving to eat and increasing the motivation to exercise (or at least remain more active).  These are great acai berry weight loss tools.
