Recently, I have taken an interest in a small red berry that is native to Asia
and has been used in traditional Asian medicine for thousands of years.
Now, I'm not one to just develop an interest in any old thing. The
reason for my interest in this berry stems from the fact that recent
scientific studies have shown some truly remarkable results in terms of
its anti-aging and anti-cancer properties.
The berry, known as
the goji berry or the wolfberry, contains not only ridiculously high
levels of antioxidants (more than any foods we eat in the West,
including those thought to be high in antioxidants), but it also
contains unique polysaccharides. These are complex forms of
carbohydrates, and the ones found in goji berries have been shown in
studies to have amazing anti-cancer and natural anti-aging
properties. These facts, combined with the fact that the berries are
incredibly nutritionally dense and packed full of other anti-aging
agents, has drawn a lot of attention to the goji berry in science and
in the media (it has been featured on Oprah) and a market has begun to
flourish for the berries. However, after extensive research online, I
have noticed that much of the information on the Internet is complete
hype and that many companies are making some pretty outrageous claims.
It is thus hard to sort out the truth from the lies, and so, I have
created this blog, along with a website at www.gojijuices.net, to sort the real information (credible scientific studies) from pure myth and hype.
I
am convinced that the goji berry is a truly remarkable natural
anti-aging supplement, and just plain good for you. I have bought a
4-month supply of the berries in fact, and am enjoying the extra energy
boost this has provided for me and my partner. And so, I hope to bring
more awareness of this amazing fruit to the world, for as it becomes
more popular, its price will go down and more people will be able to
enjoy its benefits.
