The wonder berries are also know as cellulite assassinators because they're packed with skin boosting anti-oxidants.
2. Acai Berries:
This trendy superfood comes from Brazil. Rio de Janeiro's surfer boys and beach babes share with the Beckhams a passion for the purple berry , which is meant to boost your libido. It's drunk as a juice or in a smoothie. The palms on which the Acai (pronounced "ah-sigh-ee") berry grows in the Amazon are known by the local Indians as the tree of life.
