Okay goji berries is not one they talk about a lot but hey it's a powerhouse, Also known as wolfberry this is a beast trust me I know what I'm talking about. You can find this berry in the east part of the world especially Asia, China, Mongolia, and the Tibetan Himalayas, however you can buy this in Tesco or online, they also make juice out of this too. This berry is rich in vitamin C and we all know how important vitamin C is to our body, this is another SUPER immune booster for the body. I like this because unlike my last post (black seed oil) this tastes like heaven sweet soft juicy it's perfect. If you work long hours this is great for a little break time munch rather than having chocolate or biscuits, it helps me stay away from unhealthy snacks.

This berry is known to be used for weight loss so if your trying to lose some weight try adding this to your diet it's worth a try. Goji berry has been explored for eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, and diabetic retinopathy. It is rich in Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (substances found to counteract oxidative stress) and zeaxanthin and lutein, carotenoids that form the "macular pigment" in the area of the eye known as the macula.

yes I have more to talk about I ain't finished yet Consuming goji berries on a regular basis may boost your general well-being, according to a report published in the Journal of Medicinal Food in 2012. I have consumed this as a juice and as a berry and i prefer the berry however I need to buy it organic next because i hate preservatives in my food and unfortunately Tesco do use preservative.

Goji berries have been linked to side effects so please check if you are allergic to this, Goji berry is part of the Solonaceae family if that makes things easier. If you follow my posts then by now you would know how much I love Chinese medicine, Goji berries have been used to treat liver disease in traditional Chinese medicine.
Research on animal models indicates goji berries can help with managing liver health and preventing the progression of alcohol-induced fatty liver disease. Research is so important and that's why i look for people who know what they are talking about.Research on human liver cancer cells has also found the goji berry can inhibit tumor growth now let that sink in.
