			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What Is Goji?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
There is a lot of talk about goji berries in the market today, which makes one wonder about what this so-called miracle fruit really is.  The goji berries come from a vine-like plant that can sometimes reach 15-20 feet in height. This is commonly found in the Ningxia Province in China. Many people describe the goji berry plant as a mix between a grape vine, and a tomato creeper.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Legend has it that in about 800 AD, during China&#8217;s Tang Dynasty, some unidentified berries were found growing on a vine near a well next to a Tibetan Buddhist temple in the Himalayas.  As time passed, these goji berries dropped off the vine and into the well.  The monks who drank the water were exceptionally long-lived and healthy.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Goji (Lycium Barbarum) is basically an Asian (from Tibet and Mongolia) plant with the purple-blue colored flowers and attractive red mildly sweet fruits that grows about 8 feet to 10 feet tall in the Himalayan region. A goji plant starts from a tiny goji seed, which is black in color and smaller than the seeds of tomatoes. The goji seed has earned an outstanding demand all over the world due to the fact that the high degree of nutritional value of goji plants or fruits have some extremely favorable effects on one&#8217;s health.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
A goji drink is made from the red berries of the goji plant found in the Himalayan countries of Asia and it is a natural, beneficial drink that provides the body with many healthy ingredients.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Benefits Of Goji</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Only recently has the Western world discovered another gift from the Himalayan Region.  This gift is the goji plant. To fully understand and appreciate the goji plant it is important to know the basic facts regarding this plant and the possible health benefits associated with the plant.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
There are many benefits that the goji berry gifts the human race with, the best of which is that it claims to reverse the aging process to a great extent. There are only two pre-requisites for this purpose  (i) it should be taken daily, and (ii) it should be taken in the raw form.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Goji berries are like a boon from God for human beings. When these berries are consumed regularly, they are found to increase longevity and promote excellent health. It reduces the craving for sugar for the diabetics thereby improving their control-capacity and stabilizing the sugar levels in hypoglycemic people.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
More goji juice health benefits include relieving menstrual discomfort and even enhance immune function since it builds strong blood paramount to fighting off disease and infection.  It also is kind to your appearance as it makes you feel younger and can also make you look younger.  The goji juice health benefits even include antioxidant protection that makes great health sense.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Some other interesting information on goji juice is that there are four polysaccharides unique to goji juice, which is any of a class of carbohydrates, such as starch and cellulose, consisting of a number of monosaccharides joined by glycosidic bonds.  These can be very good to you so if your goji juice contains these you have even more of a benefit in drinking it.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Over 60 health studies have been conducted thus far on the benefits of the goji fruit.  The results of these studies show positive and strong results indicating various health benefits to those whose daily diet consists of ingesting the goji fruit.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
What the researchers are finding, in controlled clinical studies, is astonishing. If the healing power and life extending properties of goji juice hold up to scientific scrutiny<br />&#13;<br />
and can be replicated and validated, diseases such as cancer, tuberculosis, immune deficiencies, heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, depression, anxiety, insomnia and more will take a dramatic turn for the better.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Where Can I Find Out More About Goji?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Currently, the best place to learn about goji and try it for yourself is through websites.  Just enter the word in your search engine, and you&#8217;ll be taken to dozens of sites that offer books, newsletters, and all forms of goji products. Some retailers even offer money-back guarantees if you don&#8217;t achieve beneficial results.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
It never hurts to keep in mind all of the nutrients in goji juice. Sometimes a particular medication or a particular medical condition can lead to an increased need for certain nutrients. If those same nutrients are found in goji berries, then a drink of goji juice could help this person significantly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Goji Berry has been around for centuries and trusted by the people in and around the Himalayas, Mongolia and Tibet to prolong life and provide the body with essential antioxidants and nutrients thus making it one of the seven super foods. The other super foods that have been proven to give you a longer and healthier life include the Acai fruit, Seabuckthorn, Fucoidan, GAC fruit, Noni fruit, and Mangosteen fruit which are all found in a new revolutionary health drink, called Exfuze.<br />This health drink, Exfuze, that contains Goji Berry will change the way that people live and think about nutrition. We all know that vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, A, B complex, folic acid, iron and zinc are important, but many do not know that all of the best antioxidants and nutrients are found in these seven botanicals. Many of these super foods are found in remote parts of the world where certain civilizations have known about their excellent health properties and have used them for many years. The Goji Berry is one of these and contains about 19 important amino acids which play an important role in improving your health and making you live longer.<br />The Goji Berry is considered to be the best of all the plants in its family. It is grown only in the valley of Tibet in unpolluted soil and with no dangerous chemicals or fertilizers. The Goji Berry fruits that are used in the health drink, Exfuze are 100 percent organic and cultivated to be the healthiest, top quality berries. They are small and red in color and have the most nutrients of all the 80 types of Lycium berries in the world. They grow on vines that can reach up to 20 meters and when they are ripe, they are shaken into collection trays to be inspected under stringent standards, and then used for the super drink, health drink, Exfuze.<br />The <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.healthinlife.com/goji-berry-ancient-chinese-secret-now-available/" target="_blank">Goji Berry</a> is considered to be a miracle fruit. It is said that you should have it frost thing in the morning to be happy all day long. The taste is described as somewhere between a cherry or raspberry to a plum and can also be added to cereals or eaten as they are. It is very difficult to get hold of pure Goji Berry fruits which is why the health drink, Exfuze has taken the hard work out of finding the best and purest Goji Berries and fused them with other miracle foods to give you the healthiest tonic on the market today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goji berries are known by a variety of other names- wolfberries, Chinese wolfberries, mede berries, bocksdorn, etc. The berries are the fruits of either of two closely related plants: Lycium barbarum and Lycium chinense. They are reddish-orange in colour and ripen in the period between July and October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plant is native to Asia and southeastern Europe. Goji berries are specially known for their nutrient value and high content of antioxidants. Goji berries are used most often in their dried form- as food, as part of beverages like wine, tea and coffee, and in soups.</p>
<p>Goji berries have actually been used in traditional Chinese medicine to improve eyesight, improve blood circulation, protect the liver, boost immunity, improve sexuality and fertility, strengthen the legs, etc. Since the beginning of the 21st century, dried goji berries have been treated as a health food in the West. Apparently, goji berries contain the highest levels of Vitamin C found in any natural fruit. They are also rich in antioxidants, carotenoids, and vitamins and minerals. Studies show that extracts of goji berries may reduce the growth of cancer cells, and also lessen blood sugar and cholesterol levels.</p>
<p>Unverified claims suggest that a regular intake of goji berries can extend the lifespan of a human and may reduce the risk of developing age-related diseases of the eye. However, goji berries are very expensive and their health benefits are not proven. In addition, goji berries may have side-effects as they react adversely with anticoagulants, as one case has shown.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goji berry, also known as wolfberry in Western countries, is one of the most obscure, yet very useful and beneficial fruits known to mankind. The plant is considered near the characteristics of the species that include tomato, chili pepper, eggplant and potato. Goji berry was originally native to the small communities in southwest Asia, southeastern Europe and China. Nowadays, the plant is being cultivated in many parts of the world. And there are good reasons why. <br />&#13;</p>
<p>Chinese medicine specialist Springherb is distributing different products that have been developed and made from the fruit. By visiting the store and checking out the product brochures, you would find several health products that are made out of Goji berry. Those products are the Wanbao Tea, also known as Ganoderma tea, the Goji powder and the sun-dried Goji. <br />&#13;</p>
<p>Wanbao Tea is a Chinese herbal product that is comprising of ground leaves and parts of glossy ganoderma and some parts of the Goji. The tea, just like many other Chinese tea products, has known beneficial features to improve health by boosting the body&#8217;s immune system. Experts recommend the tea to aging and weak people. In alternative Chinese medicine, Wanbao tea is prescribed for children suffering from anemia. Cancer patients are also provided with nutritional requirements. <br />&#13;</p>
<p>Goji berry is known to contain bioactive substances that could be helpful to maintain and improve health. Eating Goji berries is ideal to extract the nutrients the fruit contains. However, because the berry is not common to all countries and exporting and importing it would not be ideal, Chinese manufacturers have devised a way on how the nutrients could be preserved so that more people could benefit from the fruit. Goji powder is that product. The 100-gram bottle of powdered Goji is ideal for creating instant fruit juices.<br />&#13;</p>
<p>If grapes can be sun-dried to produce raisins, the same process could be made to Goji berry. Available through Springherb is Sun-dried Goji. Experts say that all the important nutrients and minerals present in the fruit is excellently and conservatively preserved through the natural sun-drying process. Available in 500-gram packs, you could carry the product anywhere you go and eat it like ordinary snacks. <br />&#13;</p>
<p>Overall, Goji berry has been present in the traditional Chinese way of medicine. The fruit has been used and prescribed to boost the immune system, to help improve and enhance the eyesight, to help protect and take care of the liver, to maintain good blood circulation and the boost sperm production among men. Nowadays, some people eat Goji and take Goji-made products to enhance libido and sexual stamina, through there is no approved therapeutic claim for the fruit.<br />&#13;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goji berry is undoubtedly one of the most important and useful plants ever cultivated in China. Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners had acknowledged the plant&#8217;s medicinal and treatment potential by using it in many Chinese herbal medicine products. To date, many Chinese medicinal goods are still containing the basic ingredients from Goji berry. The plant, also known as Wolfberry specifically in Western nations, is also widely cultivated across the globe because of its known health benefits. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In taxonomy, Guji berry belongs to the same species and family as other common and popular plants like eggplant, potato, chilli pepper, tobacco and tomato. The plant used to be common in China, southwest Asia and southeaster Europe before finally being cultivated in many other parts of the globe. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It is hard to find fresh Goji berries in the market. Exporters and importers have tried, but the effort to market the fruits in raw form is a real challenge. That is why effective processes to make the fruits available and accessible to just about anyone have been mostly welcome. If grapes could be sun-dried to make raisins, Goji can also undergo the same process. Chinese manufacturers are proud that the basic nutrients and rich natural taste of the fruit can be preserved through sun-dried goji products.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Goji berry is very high in antioxidant concentrations that make the fruit very ideal and effective in battling out ailments. Consumption of the fruit is also known to help eliminate harmful radicals in the body. Through sun-drying, the anti-oxidant characteristics are preserved and maintained. The Sun-dried Goji Berry product ensures that basic nutrients would still be present despite the food processing technique. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The product is de-aerated and should remain such so that it could last up to about two years without changing and losing the basic nutritional value. To tell if the sun-dried Goji is still containing the nutrients, the dried fruits should not change in color. If the fruits turn dark red or brown after about two to three months after the package has been opened, that means that the product was aired and probably has lost the basic Goji nutrients. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Through there are is no approved therapeutic claims, Sun-dried Goji berry has been known to help the body maintain and improve health. Specifically, the product is popular to help: boost energy, fight many forms of cancer, maintain ideal and healthy blood pressure, enhance eyesight, reduce blood glucose levels, combat heart ailments, lower cholesterol levels, strengthen the immune system, harden the bones and tendons, prevent skin damage from sun exposure, reduce weight, enhance sex stamina and boost the sexual drive. In fact, a published article in the BBC magazine has described Goji as an effective &#8216;fruit Viagra&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Log in to Springherb&#8217;s official Website at http://www.springherb.co.uk/ and see the best and most attractive deals in the distribution of sun-dried Goji berry. There is a promotional selling scheme. Each piece of a 500-g pack costs £6.95. But if you would buy 4 pieces of the product, you could maximize the value of the product with the free unit of additional Sun-dried Goji berry pack. That is a good buy, an attractive deal that involves such a helpful and very beneficial product. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>You can also visit Springherb&#8217;s main store at 40 Stodman Street along Newark in Nottinghamshire. The telephone hotline is 01636-706892. The store opens at 9:30 in the morning, Monday to Saturday, and closes at 5:50 in the afternoon. Aside from Sun-dried Goji berry, there are also numerous Chinese medicinal products available from the distribution firm. On top of the products, Springherb has also been known across the market as a company that provides acupuncture and massaging products and services.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Enjoy the Sun-dried Goji berry products and many more Chinese herbal medicines from Springherb. Experts advise consumers to treat the Chinese medicine products as supplementary and supportive of the main medicines and nutrients preserved by your doctor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goji Berries might be better known as the wolfberry, whose plant is distinctly related to tobacco, chili pepper, deadly nightshade, eggplant, tomato, and the potato plants. The US Department of Agriculture Germplasm Resources Information Network also classifies Goji Berries as the plants known as matrimony vine, Duke of Argyll?s tea tree, cambronera, bocksdorn, Barbary matrimony vine, and the Chinese wolfberry.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Goji Berries are getting much acclaim lately for being health food products, usually marketed as either Himalayan goji or Tibetan goji. One source indicates that Goji Berries have been a mainstay of Traditional Chinese Medicine for around 1,900 years already. According to Chinese legend, Goji Berries were also used by Shen Nung who is believed to have been the First Emperor of China. Goji Berries are now considered a health food because research has shown that it has antioxidants and nutrients aplenty, which may explain why Goji Berries are also now classified as one of the superfruits. Demand for superfruits like Goji Berries is expected to reach the billion-dollar mark by year 2011.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Goji Berries you may be familiar with are usually of an ellipsoidal shape and bright red, with each of the Goji Berries filled with up to sixty seeds. Goji Berries that are planted in countries in the Northern Hemisphere may ripen in the months of July, August, September and October.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>People who were raised as Chinese or Oriental may prefer to call these berries Goji Berries while Western folk may know the berries better as the Wolf Berry or wolfberries. The reason they are named Goji Berries may be because the wolfberries are dubbed Gouqui in the Mandarin Chinese tongue. Despite the relationship in names, some experts believe that Goji Berries were actually cultivated outside China at the start before being brought in to the country.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Nowadays, Goji Berries are planted in commercial quantities in north central China (in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region) and in western China (in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.) The size of a typical plantation of Goji Berries can start at 100 acres and extend to up to 1000 acres in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Ningxia has been found to produce some of the top Goji Berries variety which are sometimes called the red diamonds commercial variety. Ningxia produces very good Goji Berries because this is the area where the Yellow River floodplains exist. In 2001, 13 million kilograms of Goji Berries were harvested in the Ningxia Region alone, which was equivalent to 42% of the overall yield of China for that year.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>One problem though with Goji Berries harvested abroad is that they may contain residue of the organochlorine pesticides which are sprayed on the plants to prevent insects from destroying the very delicate berries. This is true regardless of whether the Goji Berries were grown in Tibet or China or any other Asian country. This is why it is very important that Goji Berries food supplement processors be honest about informing the public as to where their Goji Berries were grown and how they were treated before being processed into food supplements.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More and more people these days are becoming conscious about their health and body. With a little inspiration from their Hollywood idols, many men and women in the US and around the globe are leaving no stones unturned just to find foods, products or supplements that will help maintain a healthy body, a beautiful and clear skin, and, if possible, an active sex life.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>One fruit that is fast becoming the new buzzword among health and beauty circles is Goji berry. This small succulent fruit, also known as Chinese wolfberry, can be eaten raw or dried. Since the plant can only be found in the Himalayas, China, Mongolia and Tibet, it is quite hard to find fresh and raw Goji berries in the market. However, it is not difficult to find dried Goji berries in health stores. You can also find muesli bars, cereals and other health products that contain this red fruit. Popular celebrities that are fans of this tiny fruit include Madonna, Kate Moss, Keira Knightley and Elizabeth Hurley.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Nevertheless, in many Asian countries, Goji berries are not usually eaten raw. You will find that this fruit is more popular in juice or tea form. It is also not surprising to see this fruit used in culinary preparations. Here&#8217;s why Goji berries are becoming the darling of health buffs.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Boost Libido</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>One of the reasons why this fruit is gaining popularity in the West is due to its Viagra-like properties. Men are eating this fruit, fresh or dried, because of its ability to increase sperm production, improve fertility, and enhance sexual function. It is abundant in beta-sisterol, which is known to help remedy impotence and even prevent inflammation of the prostate.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Improve Eyesight</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Since ancient times, people in China and its surrounding areas have used Goji berries to help improve vision and overall eye health. Experts believe that this fruit is very rich in beta-carotene. In fact, some claim that it contains more beta-carotene than carrots and apricots.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Another component of the fruit that is important in eye health is zeaxanthin, which is essential in the protection of the retina. Studies have confirmed that this substance can lower a person&#8217;s risk of developing age-related eye problems, particularly macular degeneration.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Fight Aging</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>When a person reaches a certain age, his or her body starts to deteriorate and age. Although there is really no food or product that can miraculously reverse the signs of aging, there are vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that can be helpful in averting the aging process so a person can look and feel young for a long time.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Goji fruit is rich in antioxidants that help slow down the aging process and fight free radicals that cause havoc to internal organs. Aside from the components mentioned above, this tiny tubular fruit contains vitamins B1, B6, B2, C and E. It is also a good source of amino acids, selenium, zinc, iron, copper, phosphorous, selenium, and calcium.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Lower The Risk Of Developing Certain Types of Cancer</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Some experts believe that free radicals are responsible in the development of cancer cells in the body. In order to combat these toxic elements, one needs a good dose of antioxidants. But aside from antioxidants, Goji berries also contain Cyperone, which can keep blood pressure under control and prevent heart disease. Furthermore, this plant-based chemical is now used to treat cervical cancer. The fruit also contains physalin, which is effective in fighting leukemia and hepatitis B.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Beat Cellulite</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Since Goji berries are packed with various skin-friendly antioxidants, eating them can help fight cellulite from within. Experts believe that cellulite is made up of waste products that are lodged in areas beneath the skin. These small packets of toxins cause the dimpled appearance on the skin.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>But if you already have cellulite, you need to find a topical product that can help boost circulation and reduce the fatty lumps on your skin. One anti-cellulite cream you can count on is Celrase. Just like Goji berries, it has been proven effective in beating stubborn and annoying cellulite in the arms, stomach and legs.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goji berries or Tibetan Goji berries are technically known as Lycium Barabarum (Latin). They belong to the family of Solanaceae (flowering plants) which also have members like potatoes, tomatoes and tobacco. It is quite surprising to know that over eighty varieties of Lycium berry are found in nature. One of the most famous include the Chinese Wolfberry which is considered by Chinese healers as the best cure for male sexual dysfunction. But to be on a more technical ground, Chinese Wolfberry is just a genetic cousin of Lycium Barbarum and is not exactly a true Goji berry. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Goji berries are perhaps one of the richest sources of vitamins and other nutrients. It has been clinically proven that they contain over 18 different amino acids and vitamins like B1, B2, B6, C and E. It is surprising but a truth that this fruit contains more Beta carotene than carrots and is perhaps the best source of vitamin C around. Only Australian billygoat plum and South American camu camu are richer than Goji berries where vitamin C is concerned. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Goji berries are also rich source of minerals like iron, calcium, zinc, selenium, phosphorus and germanium. With all that, they are also a rich source of antioxidants.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Legend is that hundreds of years ago, a group of Buddhist monks in the mountains of Tibet saw small red berries growing behind a well. When they gave it a try, it tasted quite well and included these berries in their daily diet. What was surprising was that they found out that they outlived other monks. They came to the conclusion that these berries made all the difference. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
For centuries they went on reaping rich benefits out of including Gojies in their daily diet. It was quite later that west became aware of the benefits of Gojies and started using it and its use spread all round. And there are enough reasons for this popularity. It starts with the belief that it increases ones life span considerably. It is also believed that it has good healing powers. It works wonders for cuts, burns, abrasions and also rashes. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
You can easily get extracts of Goji berries from most health stores. These extracts are turned into creams and remedies. As of now these products are very expensive but if you decide to buy online, you can save a lot of money. And if you are thinking of buying in bulk the cost would get a lot cheaper. It goes without saying that Goji extracts are amongst the best health product that is natural. And more and more people are going for it. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
If you look at health food stores, you would find that entire shelves have been filled with products containing Goji berries including drinks, skin care lotions, cosmetics and remedies. They benefit those who are looking for natural skin product that are non-toxic. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Goji berries have been grown in China, Tibet and Mongolia for ages. Chinese medicine has always used them for centuries. It is used with lycium bark and is believed to boost your immune system, circulatory system, proves great for liver and kidney protection, improves your vision, and works wonder for your skin. Gojies are surely very rich in vitamins and minerals but what is more it is also the best in Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) scale. It is used to measure the antioxidant levels in any food. And studies have revealed that they contain 25000 units per 100 milligrams which is about five times more than the fruit (prunes) that comes second on the scale and about 15 times more than the vegetable that comes second on the list. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
And what is the importance of antioxidant? Well it is the primary ingredient that fights the aging process. It is quite natural that many believe that those berries are the best and the most powerful anti-ageing food that is around. And that is why it has also found topical applications and is one of the key ingredients in skin care products. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
It is true that Goji berries have just found application in topical uses, yet you can find it being used in a wide range of skin care products right form creams and lotions to every other product. And that is why most of the new natural skin care product has Gojies as its ingredient. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
If you want to have those berries and want to assure that they are perfect, go for Goji berries that claim to be cold-pressed, have no solvents and have been air-dried. Also, preservatives must not be used. Heat processing and other chemicals, if added, reduces its benefits greatly.</p>
