Goji Berries are an amazing health food!

Goji helps the body adapt to stress from exercise and improves fatigue. Adaptogens enhance the body's replenishment of the two important muscle fuels — glycogen and creatine phosphate (CP) — both of which are depleted during exercise. This enables you to avoid burnout associated with glycogen depletion and allows you to fit more high-quality workouts into a defined period. Knowledge about adaptogens dates back thousands of years to ancient India and China, but serious scientific study did not begin until the late 1940s. In 1947, Dr. Nikolai Lazarev defined an adaptogen as an agent that allows the body to counter adverse physical, chemical, or biological stressors by raising nonspecific resistance toward such stress, thus allowing the organism to “adapt” to the stressful circumstances. For athletic performance enhancement, research suggests a daily usage of two to five ounces of high-quality standardized goji juice, taken in divided doses before and after exercise.

The last few decades have witnessed an alarming increase in chronic pet disease.  Americans in 2006 spent $17 billion on veterinary care and medicine for their pets.  Most of these illnesses were virtually unknown in the 1960s.  All of these conditions are linked by one common factor; a breakdown of the immune system that is essential for keeping your pet strong and disease-free.  It has been strongly suggested that the precipitous decline in pet immune health may be a result of the widespread use of nutrient-poor, highly processed commercial pet foods. Instead of treating the underlying causes of illness by supporting the immune system, many veterinarians tend to address only the symptoms with antibiotics and cortisone, thereby allowing the disease to progress. 
   Goji works the same on your pet as it does on people.  Cells are cells and thus Goji helps detoxify them. It is not selective by sex, race, or species. Goji's powerful antioxidants and unique polysaccharides harness your pet's immune system to help fight illness, chronic disease, major injuries and even signs of aging.

  Free Radicals are molecules or atoms that are unstable and attack healthy cells. Now this is part of everyday life and that is why our bodies have antioxidants. The antioxidants work to neutralize the free radicals. Normally, the body can handle free radicals. However, in today’s high stress environment things like poor diet, work, lack of sleep, smoking, and more can create an environment for free radicals to damage our cells. If there are not enough antioxidants in our system to neutralize them then damage can occur. That is why it is important to consume additional antioxidant.  Goji berries are a excellent source of antioxidants.

One of the best best things found in Goji Berries are the high level of polysaccharides.  Studies have shown that polysaccharides are exceptional sources of the essential cell sugars necessary for proper immune function and intercellular communication.  These polysaccharides can enhance health by maintaining normal cell growth and thus may help slow the aging process.  This isn't to say that you can eat a bunch of junk food and expect to beabsolved by topping it off with a handful of Goji Berries.  It's best to stick with a healthy diet and include foods such as Goji Berries for optimal health.
 

Below is a list of 10 great benefits of polysaccharides:

1) Inhibit tumor growth
2) Prevent cancer
3) Neutralize the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation
4) Help normalize blood pressure
5) Help balance blood sugar
6) Combat autoimmune disease
7) Act as an anti-inflammatory
Balance immune function
9) Lower cholesterol and blood lipids
10) Increase calcium absorption

It seems whatever celebrities are seen wearing, driving, or eating becomes an instant success overnight.   Goji berries it seems is no different. Although widely used before the celebrities started to talk about it. Goji berries have gained much more attention after such stars as Madonna, Mel C. (from the Spice Girls), and just recently Oprah Winfrey from the Oprah Winfrey show. Many super Models have also been reported taking goji berries as part of the their daily diet. Some of the benefits are smoother looking skin, higher energy levels, and better over all health. Oprah Winfrey was quoted on her show as saying that Goji berries are “ The most antioxidant fruit that we know.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The small red berry doesn't look like a powerhouse.

Indeed, this dried Chinese berry resembles a weak cousin to the cranberry.

Yet in the health-food industry, many are trumpeting the Chinese wolfberry, more commonly known as the goji berry, as the next great "super food" – a fruit laden with so many antioxidants that it makes other fruits and vegetables seem puny by comparison. The berry, marketers say, is an anti-aging miracle food, regularly consumed by Chinese centenarians.

The goji is earning a prominent place at health-food stores. It's showing up in juices, sodas and energy bars. At upscale California spa restaurants, the goji berry is being added to granola, trail mixes and salads.

It's getting big billing by Dr. Mehmet Oz, the author of "YOU: The Owner's Manual." On "The Oprah Winfrey Show," he called the goji berry "the most potent antioxidant fruit that we know."

How much of that is hype and hopefulness? How much is supported by science?

"We started carrying the berries back in 2005, but we started seeing gojis being used in juices and beverages in the last year and a half," says Mary Ann O'Dell, a registered dietitian with Chamberlin's Natural Foods, an Orlando chain of health-food stores.

"I think demand for it is building," O'Dell says. "We saw what happened with pomegranates – how they became popular and began showing up everywhere – well, that trend is happening with all these super fruits, goji and mangosteen and pomegranates."

The goji berry seems to be picking up steam among mainstream food makers. Anheuser-Busch launched 180 Red with Goji – a new energy drink featuring the berry.

Scientific research on the goji berry is still in its infancy.

"There is limited data on the wolfberry," said Mark Failla, chairman of the Human Nutrition Department at Ohio State University, who is studying the goji.

Based on early research on the berry, Failla says it's clear that gojis contain extremely high levels of zeaxanthin, a carotenoid that is related to beta carotene.

That might elevate the goji berry's importance in coming years, as aging baby boomers try to stave off macular degeneration. Studies of people with macular degeneration have shown they have lower levels of zeaxanthin and lutein in their eye tissue. Still, Failla cautions that there has been no proof that a lack of zeaxanthin causes macular degeneration.

"In traditional Chinese medicine, zeaxanthin has been used to treat ocular disorders," says Failla, who suspects the Chinese doctors were right. "Long before the Lord made biochemists, Chinese doctors have been using this."

Goji berries are also known as Lycium Barbarum. There many types of goji berries around the world, but the one that has get oeveryone's attention originates from an area in Himalaya.

Legend has it that the Himalayans are using berries long before anyone did. To them, living over 100 years old is not uncommon. People in their 60s are EXPECTED to be able to ride a horse up the moutains to pick these precious fruit. The 70s in our society can't even stand properly.

The chinese, indian and tibetian later heard about this seemingly miraculous fruit and so they journeyed across the world to find out more. What they saw impressed them so much, they brought some of goji berry's seeds and planted them for use in their everyday life.

The goji plant is extremely adaptable to the climate and environmental changes. They can survive at temperatures ranging from -27 degress celcius to about 40 degrees celcius. Although goji berries can practically grow anywhere with soil, not all are made equal.

The reason why people are always looking for Himalayan goji berries is because the soil there are full of minerals and therefore produced better quality goji berries…. unlike our mineral-deficient soil in developed countries.
