The anti-aging qualities of the acai berry has been the subject of much discussion over the years, but taking equal air time is the ability of the fruit to help people lose weight. This quality has been attributed to the acai berry’s ability to raise your metabolic rate, allowing you to burn extra calories at a much faster pace. The acai berry can also enhance the function of your digestive system, giving the fat in your body a lot less time to be absorbed by the tissues. The result is less fat that accumulates in the body. An acai berry diet also offer the further advantage of helping the body get rid of toxins, ensuring a continued state of good health.

As desirable as fresh acai berries are due to their superior health giving properties, they are virtually impossible to find in countries other than Brazil. The next best thing is to go for frozen berries–which although not as endowed with as many nutrients as fresh berries–do provide considerable health benefits as well. Keep in mind that the fresher the berry is, the greater its ability to provide you with nutrients, so you will want to look for acai berries that have been frozen more recently. These berries will also have a fresher and more delicious flavor to them, which is a definite advantage over the health benefits. In any case, frozen acai berries certainly provide more health benefits than products that merely contain acai extract.

The taste of the acai berry is enticing enough in itself, although there is no reason why you shouldn’t combine them with other foods in order to get more interesting flavors and textures. You could add them to your cereal or to yogurt for instance and they even make great additions to muffins. This is a great way to add some taste mileage to what is already an appetizing fruit.

While berries–either frozen or fresh–are undoubtedly the best way to gain the benefits of acai, supplements aren’t entirely worthless either. Of these products, the liquid form is more desirable, as liquid is more easily absorbed by the body compared to pills or other solid forms. You may even purchase powdered acai berry extracts that can easily be mixed into your favorite beverages. Some of these powders are actually quite potent, and they can give you all the concentrated goodness of acai berry in a single serving. If you can’t find frozen acai berries in your local grocery or health food store, liquid extracts–and to some extent powdered extracts–are the next best options.

If you don’t want to take acai berry in frozen or liquid form for whatever reason, you can simply take acai berry tablets along with your daily vitamin regimen. While they are certainly not as effective as fresh berries or extracts, you will still be able to gain some health benefits such as weight loss and increased energy levels.

The Giuseppe Verdi Club of Rockford, IL has quite a bit of interesting historical background. 27 Italian-born Rockford men met above a North lst Street grocery store to form a social club for the purpose of continuing their friendship and companionship. The 27 men named the newly formed organization the Giuseppe Verdi society. They chose the four rooms above the grocery store at 758 North 1st Street as their clubrooms.

The organization was officially founded on September 9, 1918 under the title of the “Giuseppe Verdi Society.” The club was established in order to provide two main objectives.

l. To provide and maintain a lodge for the pleasure and recreation of its members.

2. To increase the spirit of brotherhood and good fellowship among its members.

During World War II, the club furnished free Sunday spaghetti dinners and dancing for soldiers. They were also very engaged in charitable programs for fund raising purposes to benefit such organizations as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and the Veterans’ Organizations.

The club has changed its clubhouse location over the course of the century. They left the grocery store location about five months after the club was chartered in 1918. They moved to their current North Madison Street location. The club had also purchased a frame house also on Madison Street. In 1930, they constructed the first part of what is now their modern spacious hall.

The first Verdi hall (banquet halls Rockford IL)was a structure 40 x 60 feet, but was remodeled in 1950 and a major addition was constructed as well.

The present building, which includes the 1930 structure, has a total of 16,200 square feet on two floors. Besides a lounge, the building features a large auditorium for private parties, modern kitchen facilities, a basement barroom, and outdoor recreational equipment.

The present building has lighted grounds overlooking the Rock River and has playground equipment for children, picnic tables, an outdoor summer pavilion, basketball courts, and boat docks.

The 90 year old Verdi Club Society has upheld the high standards set forth by their founding members to this day. Besides being a sponsor for local events such as the Festa Italiana held each year at Boylan High School, the club board committee continually keeps current members active with club picnics, golf playdays, steak dinners, bond dinners, and formal dances. It is one of the elite social clubs in Rockford today and will be for many generations in the future.
