Acai
Acai is the much-heralded exotic palm fruit from the Amazon rain forest. It is known for being a super antioxidant, but also something that can be used to assist in weight loss. The story of acai dates back hundreds of years to its use by the people of the Orinoco basin area of Brazil. Originally, treasured as a source of sustenance, scientific research has confirmed the high nutritional value of acai fruit and uncovered its potent antioxidant benefits. Analyses have shown that acai is one of the richest sources of anthocyanins in the world, substances known to be powerful free radical scavengers.

PROTECTING YOUR BODY FROM INFECTIOUS DISEASES
All living creatures have suffered from infectious and noninfectious diseases since the beginning of recorded history. Infectious diseases such as plague, smallpox, tuberculosis, and polio were once common throughout the world. Now these diseases occur mainly in developing countries. However, infectious diseases such as AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have come forward to wreak havoc on Americans, the industrialized nations, and other peoples throughout the world. In addition, although Americans enjoy a relatively high level of hygiene and standard of living, they nevertheless experience a very high level of pain and death from noninfectious diseases such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancer. With the exception of AIDS, most of the infectious diseases Americans experience are not life threatening, due to advanced medical diagnosis and treatment. However, cardiovascular disease (including stroke) and cancer are the leading causes of death in the United States today.
In this section, we will discuss several other infectious diseases that are common in the United States. Your instructor may wish you to read chapter 6 on (infectious) STDs in conjunction with this section.
Infectious diseases are transmitted from an infected object, animal, or person to an uninfected individual through agents that include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and animal parasites. Some infectious diseases are spread from one host to another and are said to be communicable, or contagious. Some of these communicable infectious diseases, such as rubella (German measles) and influenza (the "flu"), are highly contagious, while others—certain types of pneumonia, for example—are much less contagious. Non-communicable or noncontagious infectious diseases are acquired from the environment but do not spread from one host to another even though they are caused by infectious agents. Tetanus, for example, is an acute bacterial infection transmitted to a body wound by spores in soil.
Relatively long-lasting vaccines and treatments have been developed for a number of communicable and noncommunicable infectious diseases. Most children, for instance, are vaccinated for diseases such as polio and rubella. Other infectious diseases require repeated vaccinations, or have no vaccines and only limited treatments. For example, a person can contract the "common" cold several times in a year. Similarly, the flu can be contracted many times in one's life despite the availability of yearly flu vaccinations.
We will examine how infectious diseases are spread, some of the mechanisms the body uses to defend against infection, and how infectious diseases can be controlled and prevented.
