Goji Berries — Fri, 09 May 2008 05:52:39 +0000

Duo to our busy lifestyles we are often stressed and do not eat well. Generally our blood is acidic, which is characterised by feeling anxious, tired, irritable and unwell. In an acidic body, disease and free radicals prosper, cells mutate and your body’s cells group together to protect themselves. In an alkaline body, free radicals and disease are neutralised more efficiently, and therefore find it very hard to survive. Many researchers and doctors around the world are confirming that drinking Goji Juice daily is one of the fastest ways to balance the ph levels and alkalise our bodies. Alkalinity is known as a key to overall health and well being.

The benefits of liquid vitamins versus vitamin pills

Goji Berries — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:35:27 +0000

Do you remember when they had to hold you down as a kid to take your vitamins? The fact that people don’t want to take their vitamin is nothing new. Many people hate taking their vitamins because they can be a nuisance. Some people say they are just too big and they have trouble trying to swallow them. Other people say that they have so many pills to take daily that it is painful to take that many every day. This is why now there are liquid vitamins. Liquid vitamins provide you all the vitamins that you need daily. Often people that take vitamins are because they just don’t get enough from food or drink. Not only can it supply you with the vitamins, but it is also much easier to consume. All you have to do is pop the cap off and drink, that’s it!

Goji Berries — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 05:29:23 +0000

If the pills we take are so great, why are so many diseases on an increase. Look how many diseases we have today that were not around before the mid 60’s. Type II diabetes is out of control. Children as young as 10 years old are now coming down with it. The pharmaceutical companies promote their pills and do everything they can to stop alternative medicine. For them it is all about money. Look at all the ads the pharmaceutical companies put on TV these days. They create new symptoms and products every month. It seems that you can take a pill for everything you need. They don’t tell you that in the process of taking their pills you could be killing your liver and many other organs. Want to save money? Proper diet, exercise, hydration (with water) and reducing stress do so much to help your body, also stay healthy. Add to that a quality highly standardized not pasteurized Goji juice and you’re well on your way to better health. Stay away from processed foods, sugar, and salt, just to name a few. There is nothing out there that in and of itself does everything. But hydration, Goji, and exercise will do a lot for your body and help it to stay healthy and let your body fight off disease’s.

Antioxidants can help prevent damage to skin

Goji Berries — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:25:16 +0000

Skin wrinkles are products of natural aging. How fast you develop wrinkles depend on many factors such as exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, lack of vitamins, lack of antioxidants, etc. Oxidative damage due to free radical chain reactions occur in our skin every second. antioxidants help prevent the damage by neutralizing or quenching the free radicals. Damages done to the skin accumulate through the years until wrinkles become noticeable. The time it takes for wrinkles to appear may be later for persons whose skin are less subjected to oxidative damage. But persons whose skin are constantly exposed to oxidative damage like being exposed to the sun always, may have wrinkles appear earlier in life. Having a diet rich in antioxidants can greatly help in extending the time wrinkles appear. But when wrinkles begins to show, fret not, there are anti aging wrinkle creams in the market to restore the elasticity of collagen and elastin extending your youthfulness even more.

Research on Goji Berries and how they can help with exercise

Goji Berries — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:01:09 +0000

Wushu Department, Guangzhou sport university, Guangzhou 510500, China.

The aim of this study was to determine the modulatory effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) on the oxidative stress induced by an exhaustive exercise. 32 male Wistar rats were taken in the study. The experiment was a 30-day exhaustive exercise program. We determined the lipid peroxidation, glycogen levels, and anti-oxidant enzyme activities in skeletal muscle. The results demonstrated that L. barbarum polysaccharides administration significantly increases glycogen level and anti-oxidant enzyme activities, and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) level and creatine kinase activities. In conclusion, L. barbarum polysaccharides administration can significantly decrease the oxidative stress induced by the exhaustive exercise.

Information on Mangosteen

Goji Berries — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 23:06:15 +0000

Research on mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) shows that it is a tropical evergreen tree, believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas. The tree grows from 7 to 25 meters tall. The edible fruit is deep reddish purple when ripe. In Asia, the mangosteen fruit is known as the “Queen of Fruits,” while the durian (Durio spp.) is known as the “King of Fruits.” It is closely related to other edible tropical fruits such as button mangosteen and lemon drop mangosteen. The outer shell of the fruit is rather hard, typically 4-6 cm in diameter. Cutting through the shell, one finds a white; fleshy fruit 3-5 cm in diameter. Depending on the size and ripeness, there may or may not be pits in the segments of the fruit. The number of fruit pods is directly related to the number of petals on the bottom of the shell. On average a mangosteen has 5 fruits (round up figure). I have eaten a lot of exotic fruits in my life, including the King Of Fruits - durian, but I have never seen or tasted this Queen of Fruits. I bought the $30 bottle from my coworker and chucked down the mangosteen juice. I do feel more energetic for the rest of day, and I will have to let you know in the near future if it will help lose some weight!

Information on Planting Goji Berries

Goji Berries — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 00:01:44 +0000

The Goji plant is quite hardy. It likes full sun except in hot climates. What else would you expect from a plant that originated in the Himalayas? Hopefully you’re not in a hurry for the berries. The shrubs don’t usually bear fruit until about the third year. But you can use the leaves in a salad while you wait. You’ll know your shrubs are about to bear fruit because you’ll start to get small purple/white trumpet flowers from summer until the first freeze. You can get your Goji shrub to become more bushy by nipping buds so that it forms more branches. A wide variety of animals such as rabbits, birds and deer also like to snack on Goji berries .

Combat Inflammation & Joint Problems

Goji Berries — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:30:34 +0000

Scientific research has shown that with acute and chronic inflammation, free radicals like superoxide are produced at a rate that overwhelms the capacity of the body’s superoxide dismutase enzyme defense system to remove them. Such an imbalance results in pain and damage to joints and tissues. Goji can help to restore the balance of the important anti-inflammatory SOD enzyme.

Allergies:

Goji Berries — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 19:53:11 +0000

Usual dosage level: 2 - 4 oz. daily

In a study of goji berry reported in the Journal of the Beijing Medical University(1992), it was noted that goji reduced antibodies associated with allergy-type reactions, which was presumed to be accomplished through the mechanisms of promoting CD8(+) T-cells and regulating cytokines. Probably as a result of this activity, goji berry has also been reported to be a useful treatment for psoriasis.
