Açai or Pitaya?

Açai, aside from being one of the most commonly mispronounced words in the culinary world, is pound for pound one of the most nutritionally-packed berries available on the market.

From antioxidants in Vitamins A, C, and E to Healthy fats that include omega-3, -6, and -9, all the way to electrolytes, the Açai Berry aids in everything from immune support to heart health and weight loss.

So what about Pitaya?  While the Açai berry may not be much to look at, Pitaya is an exotically beautiful looking fruit with a lot of nutritional value.
Also know as Dragon Fruit, Pitaya is packed with B Vitamins which can improve blood pressure, skin health and thyroid function. It is also high in fiber which aids in digestion.  What most people don't  know about Pitaya is that it is an excellent  source of dietary protein which enhances metabolism and helps with weight loss.

With so many amazing health benefits, it may be hard to decide but at Bowlology you don't have to choose. Add both to your Super Bowl for the perfect blend of taste and nutrition.

Cardiovascular activity is essential in maintaining a strong heart. Research shows by elevating your heart rate at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week, you can deliver clean, oxygenated blood to your lungs and muscles making them powerful and healthy! Also, cardio activities can help you lose fat, improve focus, boost your immune system, and decrease your LDL ("bad") cholesterol.
