"These are one of my favorite superfoods. They grow in great abundance in Arizona, and we grow them at the Tree of Life. Goji is an adaptogen and primarily supports Yin Jing. It is almost always included in soups and broths as a tonic in Chinese home cooking. They are one of the main foods consumed by Li Ching Yuen, who was said to have lived 252 years. (He also consumed reishi mushrooms, he shou wu, and ginseng.) The Ningxia Province in China, where these berries grow, has more centenarians than the rest of China. The residents age gracefully, and they are more active, healthy, and vibrant than elderly Westerners. Chinese medicine teaches that it builds yin jing energy in the body, especially the adrenal and kidneys where the jing is centered. Strengthened jing energy creates and maintains basic ojas, endurance, strength, sexual energy, immunity, and longevity. Life in our toxic world depletes the prenatal and post-natal jing. Goji berries also help to alkalyze the system. They are outstanding for building and maintaining general vitality and longevity on every level, as well as being a general anti-oxidant. They could be one of the top longevity foods in the world. New research has found some unique bio-active molecules that are only found in goji berries, called lycium barbarum polysaccharides, which may be the secret of the goji berry's power.
Goji berries boost Human Growth Hormone (HGH) production, which helps us to retain our youthfulness. They are high in sesquiterpenoids, which are anti-inflammatory and stimulate the pituitary and pineal glands, increasing glandular production of HGH. Gojis contain the anti-oxidants zeaxanthin and lutein in high concentrations, which are the key phytonutrients to build eyesight. The goji berry boosts immunity through its concentration of polysaccharides, beta-carotene, and organic germanium, which boasts cancer-fighting properties. They help with choline production, as an essential brain, memory, and nervous system nutrient that combats free radical damage linked to neurological degeneration and Alzheimer's disease. Gojis also combat oxidized cholesterol, which causes heart disease. They increase production of superoxide dismutase (SOD), which acts as an anti-oxidant preventing the oxidation of cholesterol. The berry detoxifies the liver and guards against liver damage from carcinogens and hepatitis. I recommend eating a handful of goji berries every day. You may also soak goji berries in water or add the berries to your herbal tea blend. The best quality berries are a deep red and come soft and moist." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
