Goji Berry Tea
Health Benefits of Goji Berries – Makes Your Healthy
Goji berries grow on an evergreen shrub found in temperate and subtropical regions in China, Mongolia and in the Himalayas in Tibet. They are in the nightshade (Solonaceae) family. Goji berries are usually found dried. They are shriveled red berries that look like red raisins.
Goji berry is a fruit popular in Tibet and the goji plant also grows in Mongolia and China, and probably in India and Thailand. The goji plant is known in China as wolfberry (Lycium berry). My understanding thus far is that goji berry and wolfberry are the same or similar, it’s just that they grow in different parts of Asia. However, there seems to be confusion and disagreement on this matter. I have spoken to different raw material suppliers, and some say goji berry and wolfberry are the same fruit with different names, while others claim goji berry and wolfberry are slightly different since they grow in different parts of Asia.
Goji berries, also called wolfberries, have been grown in the Himalayan valley for hundreds of years. Traditional Chinese folk medicine uses them to cure a variety of ailments. Goji berries have also long been used in various Asian dishes as an ingredient or a garnish. Goji berry bushes grow to be one to three meters high . Because the berries are very delicate when on the plant, they cannot be picked by hand. Instead they are gently shaken from the vine.
Goji comes in many forms these days, including juice, goji bars, goji cream and goji capsules. An excellent tea can be made from goji leaves and goji flowers are decorative and beautiful. Through the internet or in stores, you can find the best goji products for you. Most people prefer to drink goji juice to get the benefits of goji in a delicious and a convenient form.
But apparently goji is more than just a refreshing beverage. According to one website it is the “number one-rated, third party tested and validated, patent-pending, single focus functional health tonic designed to deliver you incredible health benefits.” The very name of the website, www.beyoungnow.com, gives some idea of the extravagant benefits they are talking about.
Look & Feel Younger— Goji stimulates the release by the pituitary gland of human growth hormone (hGH), the youth hormone. The benefits of hGH are extensive and include reduction of body fat, better sleep, improved memory, accelerated healing, restored libido and a more youthful appearance.
Among Goji berry’s beneficial compounds is a category called phytochemicals. Flavonoids belong to this category of nutrients that are extremely high in antioxidants including quercetin, anthocyanadins and antocyanins. Bioflavonoids are essential to the absorption and utilization of other nutrients, especially vitamin C.
Get Better Sleep— Goji has been historically used in Asia for the natural treatment of insomnia. In several medical study groups with elderly people, nearly all patients taking goji reported better quality of sleep.
Goji berries nutrition benefits add a double bonus to goji berries diabetes control benefits and make goji berries diabetes control far superior to diabetes control through medications which can have dangerous side effects and lack all of the Tibetan goji berries nutrition benefits such as goji berries antioxidants and vitamins, fiber and the like.
Improvement of the quality of sleep. Goji has long been used throughout Asia by people with occasional sleep disturbance. In several medical study groups with elderly people, nearly all individuals taking Goji Berries reported better quality of sleep.
