What to eat? Allergic to pectin :(?
I really want to eat more healthy and lose weight. Which would mean I need to eat a lot more fruits and vegetables. But the only problem is that I am allergic to pectin. Pectin is what makes up the cell walls of different fruits and vegetables. It is unfortunately also a fat burning food. Whenever i eat anything containing pectin My throat swells and itches, therefore i rather not eat any of it.
I do not have a problem if fruits and veggies are cooked because the heat kills the pectin. But it is tough because I cant just pick up an apple to eat for breakfast. Is there any suggestions that anyone has as to how to cope with this allergy and help lose weight? The only fruits i do not have a problem with are grapes because they are extremely low in pectin. I also do not seem to have a problem with most tomatoes. Is there anyone with a nutritional education background that could help me?
The Acai Berry (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) is often called a Superfood due to it’s due to it’s dense nutritional qualities and numerous health benefits. But what exactly are Acai berries?
The Acai fruit only grows high atop a plant in the Amazon basin of South America and the locals have known about it for centuries where it’s known for it’s legendary health benefits and healing powers. However, only recently has the rest of the world become aware of this almost magical fruit. Although it was was used by health insiders previously it was really brought to our attention originally due largely in part to anti-aging expert and doctor, Dr. Nicolas Perricone who was featured on the Oprah Winfrey show,now other Hollywood celebrities have also begun to endorse it.
One of the reasons the Acai Berry remained almost unknown was because the potency of the fruit deteriorates rapidly and loses it’s powerful properties soon after it’s harvested, thus exporting Acai berries was not feasible until lately. Modern technology has provided the solution with better harvesting techniques, pastuerizing and flash freezing they’re able to preserve most of the vitamins and nutrients in the form of supplements and Acai berry juice. Acai berry supplements are now commonly found in health food stores and supermarkets in the form of pills, extracts, powders, etc.

The Acai Berry - What Exactly Does It Do?
There’s been no long term research studies yet, however one should keep in mind that the Acai berry really hasn’t been around long enough (outside of South America) to be brought to our attention and do any research on it’s effects on the human body until recently. But the intial research shows a very positive effect on cardiovascular disease, anti-aging, cancer and weight loss. The studies conducted at the University of Florida and Science Daily looks very positive.
What we do know is that berries in general are very good for you, however this little berry ounce for ounce is one of the most densely nutritious and powerful foods available while providing numerous healthy benefits. The acai berry is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, essential fatty acids and dietary fiber and has a cholesterol lowering effect and helps to maintain a healthy heart. This becomes a bigger issue as the human body weakens with age, after decades of build up disease starts to attack the body as it gets weaker.
