One of the
simplest methods is by replacing some of what you put in
your body, like soft drinks, coffee or energy drinks,
with foods known to be among the best for increasing
energy and stamina.
While some
of the top energy foods may not be available in your
local grocery or health food stores, the good news is
that there is a forecasted shift within this exploding
energy drink segment toward healthy, hybrid energy
drinks. This could hold the promise of
conveniently packaged healthy, sustained
energy.
As this
new and exciting category is on the horizon, what
follows are some possibilities on what would be the
ideal candidate fruits to be looking for.

Cupuaçu is
the fruit of another tree making up the canopy
of the rainforest in the Amazon region,
primarily in the Brazilian state of
Pará.
It is a member of the cocoa family that has been
a primary food source to indigenous people. |

Cupuaçu is known for its creamy exotic tasting
pulp and is considered a culinary delicacy
throughout much of South America.
Fresh
cupuaçu juice contains 21.9% amino acids, 23%
vitamin C per mg and 3% reducing sugars.
The flesh makes up 40% of the fruit and seeds
about 18%.
We
believe in the next few years, cupuaçu
will create quite a sensation, as the world
discovers more of this antioxidant-rich
superfood.
Watch NBC's Today Show expose cupuaçu
to US.

Acerola is another superfood from Brazil,
and other southern regions. It is rich in
vitamins and minerals. More than 150 nutritive
constitutes have been identified in this
brightly |

colored fruit. Acerola's vitamin C content
is about 32 times that of an orange, by weight.

Camu Camu is another superfood unique to
the Amazon region of Brazil. The plant has
developed strong natural defenses, as it is
extremely tolerant of flooding, withstanding
4 to 5 months with its |

|
|
roots and even much of the the bush itself
submerged by Amazon floodwaters. Camu Camu
has the highest vitamin C content of any food
(30-60 times higher than any citrus). The
cost of harvesting, processing and logistics
make camu camu minimally 4 to 5 times more
expensive than the next comparable fruit pulps
or even concentrates. So expect to find
camu camu as a more exclusive ingredient to only
the most effective, nutrient-dense hybrid energy
drinks of the future. Drink up - to your
health and energy!
