Sacred
Secret of the East Revealed
Renowned in Asia as one of nature's most
nutrient-rich natural foods, goji berries have been associated in
traditional Chinese medicine as long as recorded Chinese history, a period
of nearly 2,000 years. Their undocumented legend, however, is considerably
older as goji berries are often linked in Chinese lore to Shen Nung (Shennong),
First Emperor, mythical Father of agriculture and herbalist who lived
circa 2,800 BC.
Currently in the United States, Europe and all
first-world countries, plus the global functional food industry, there is
a rapidly growing recognition of goji berries for their nutrient richness
and antioxidant qualities.
Goji berries are considered to be one of the
world's most nutrient-rich fruits, rich in anti-aging agents,
antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, facilitating the flow of vitality.
Goji berries taste delicious in cereals, yogurt,
trail mix, and salads. Add them to smoothies, or recipes for muffins and
breads. You can also consume goji berries as the monks of the Himalayas
do, steeped in tea, added to soup, or simply by themselves.
Goji
Clinical Studies
In several study groups of elderly people, Goji
was given for 3 weeks. Many beneficial results were experienced and 67% of
the patient's T-Cell transformation functions tripled.
Many partially recovered their sexual function,
and nearly all patients taking Goji reported better quality of sleep.
One study in China found that the ingestion of
Goji resulted in a remarkable 40 percent increase of the extremely
important anti-inflammatory enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD).
40 years of research have revealed Goji's
ability to act as an adaptogen and boost the immune system and regulate
immunity. Goji can also help to quiet a hyperactive immune system,
bringing it back to a normal level.
Goji is being investigated as a food that is
capable of reducing the incidence of cancer and halting or reversing the
growth of cancers. Goji berries contain four unique polysaccharides and
phytonutrient compounds that neutralize free radical damage. Goji LBP
polysaccharides enhance the production of Interleukin-2 ( IL-2) a cytokine
(cell protein) that induces potent anti-tumor responses in a variety of
cancer models.
Pharmacological
Studies
Lycium fruit (Goji) given to rats was found to
lower cholesterol and blood sugar; given to rabbits, it inhibited the
formation of atherosclerosis. Betaine, was shown to protect the livers of
laboratory animals from the impact of toxic chemicals; other pharmacologic
studies have shown that it is an anticonvulsant, sedative, and
vasodilator.
Journals
and Magazines
The astounding benefits of Goji have been
reported in many prestigious journals and magazines: Journal of Chinese
Herbal Medicine, Journal of Ethnopharmacology, China Pharmacology and
Toxicology, Chinese Herb News Magazine, Research Communications Molecular
Pathology and Pharmacology, Chinese Patent Herbs, Chinese Herbs, Nature
Reviews Drug Discovery, Chinese Oncology Magazine, Hygiene Research,
Physiology Academic Journal, Chinese Stomatology, and many more.

Potential
Health Benefits of Goji
* Extend Your Life * Your body's
ten trillion cells are under constant attack by free radicals. These
harmful agents can accelerate aging by destroying vital body cells faster
than they can be replaced. Goji's polysaccharides and powerful
antioxidants defend against premature aging, fighting free-radical damage
throughout the body.
* Increase Your Energy and Strength
* Considered one of
Asia's premier adaptogens, Goji increases exercise tolerance, stamina, and
endurance. It helps to eliminate fatigue, especially when recovering from
illness and can boost the immune system.
* Look and Feel Younger
* Goji stimulates the
release by the pituitary gland of the HGH( human growth hormone), the
youth hormone. The benefits of the HGH are extensive and include reduction
of body fat, better sleep, improved memory, accelerated healing, restored
libido, and a more youthful appearance.
* Lower Blood Pressure
* Uncontrolled high
blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and/or
kidney failure. A 1998 research study showed that increased blood pressure
could be prevented significantly by Goji's polysaccharides.
* Reduces Your Risk of Cancer
* Goji contains the anti-cancer mineral Germanium. It's
antioxidants and polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can
lead to cancer. Some scientists believe that Goji may be an especially
good supplement to prevent liver cancer because it exerts liver protection
and anti-cancer effects at the same time. This is important, as the liver
is the body's primary detoxifying organ.
* Maintain Healthy Cholesterol Levels
* Goji contains beta-sitosterol,
which has been shown to lower cholesterol levels. Its anitioxidants keep
cholesterol from oxidizing and forming arterial plaques. The flavonoids in
Goji help to keep your arteries open and functioning smoothly.
* Balance Blood Sugar and Manage Diabetes
* Goji has been used
in china for the treatment of adult-onset diabetes for many years, and its
polysaccharides have been shown to help balance blood sugar and insulin
response. It also contains betaine, which can prevent fatty liver disease
and vascular damage often seen in diabetics.
* Enhance Libido and Sexual Function
* Scientific studies
have shown that Goji markedly increases testosterone in the blood, thereby
increasing libido in both men and women.
* Lose Weight
* In an Asian
anti-obesity study, patients were given Goji each morning and each
afternoon. Results were excellent with most patients losing weight. In
another study, Goji polysaccharides were shown to reduce body weight by
enhancing the conversion of food into energy instead of fat.
* Relieve Headaches and Dizzyness
* In Chinese medicine,
Goji is used for the treatment of headache and dizzyness. |
