After hearing from readers asking to know more about me, I decided to put this page together. My name is Tom Thurston. I was born and raised in Fairfield, NJ. After 18 years of living in New Jersey, I moved to Blacksburg, VA for college. After a difficult 4 ˝ years, I managed to obtain an undergraduate degree in computer science and mathematics.  More importantly, I attended a bunch of biology classes which familiarized me with how the body works at the molecular level. I learned about vitamins like A, B, C, D, and K and what they were used for in the body. I also gained a great understanding of why we need to feed our body clean and healthy calories and why antioxidants are so important to prevent free radical damage. It wasn't until after I graduated from Virginia Tech that I started to research the acai berry for health and wellness. Shortly after, Acai-Health-Essentials.com was born. My goal here is to provide you with enough information to educate you on the fundamentals of health and wellness. I'm currently doing research on eczema, high blood pressure, heart health, diabetes, pain, stress management, cholesterol, nutrition, exercise like Bikram yoga, and permanent fat loss. After all this research, it'd be useless to keep what I have learned to myself – it's way more beneficial to share it! It almost happened by dumb luck that I found an incredibly powerful acai berry antioxidant supplement to market. Shortly after doing some research on acai berries and it's benefit to the body, I had received a phone call from a close friend who was also very much into keeping healthy. The conversation went something like this.
So needless to say, I feel like I stumbled upon this truly unique product by accident. A little more about me. Besides my health and wellness interest, in my free time I enjoy the outdoors and anything related to them like like camping, kayaking, snowboarding, mountain biking, and running.
I'm into kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (jiu-jitsu is a form of grappling which concentrates on chokes, joint locks, and submission holds). It's interesting to take a look at Brazil's population demographic. Most people look healthy, have beautiful skin, and are unbounded with energy. I'd like to think it's attributed to acai berries and jiu-jitsu. I'm a die hard juice fanatic and love using my Breville Juice Fountain in the morning. I usually juice carrots, apples, celery, beets, pineapple, oranges, grapefruits, blueberries, raspberries, and cabbage. Although...cabbage is more of a juice fast item. :) Click on recipes to check out some of my favorites. BTW, I moved back to New Jersey, so if you're in the area...stop by to say hello! I might even just whip up an awesome glass of juice for you! I have an immense amount of information regarding the acai fruit and how it can create the foundation of a healthy body... Much is on this website. If you have any questions that have been unanswered feel free to fill out the Contact Me form and I will personally reply with the answers and make suggestions as to how the acai may be able to help your situation.
