Goji Berries 101

I try to keep my blogs short, sweet and to the point but when it comes to the Fountain of Youth Goji Berries that may be impossible.  Besides the fact that they are absolutely delicious, there also the most nutritionally dense berry on the planet.  I eat them every day, along with raw chocolate of course! Just yesterday, I was at the Paribas open tennis tournament with some co-workers down here in Palm Springs and was hitting a wall when I discovered a little bag of goji berries I my purse! Yum, there’s nothing better than good food when your really hot and hungry.

Did you know that Goji berries are the only food on the planet that contain the compound secretagogue, which have anti-inflammatory properties that stimulate the pituitary and pineal glands thus increasing the glandular production of human growth hormone, which actually decreases as we age.  Goji berries are a complete protein, are high in antioxidants, improve your vision, enhance our immune system and increase alkalinity.  They contain tremendous amounts of hydrogen, which is what is needed to create hydration, so snack on them before, during or after your workouts.  Another good one, (as if your not already convinced to log on to Jewelbars.com now and buy a box of Goji bars), research suggest they are great for digestion and can aid in recovery from digestive illnesses.  Several types of phytonutrients in the fruit enhance the ability of the liver to detox and they contain fatty acids that stimulate collagen production, and retain moisture resulting in younger looking skin.

I’ll leave you with a few final tid-bits: For a long time, Goji berries have been recommended for chronic conditions such as headaches, weak joints and legs, lower back problems, liver and kidney issues, hypertension, insomnia and impotence.


It’s proven that if you support the body in healing itself with a huge array of extraordinary nutrients you will feel better.  Personally when I have great health and energy, I am more passionate about everything in my life and everyone in my world benefits. So, if longevity, vitality and a youthful glow are your motivators, then Goji berries are the Superfood for you!
