We should all get three to five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. If you really want to get the benefits of fruit, you should eat the healthiest fruit available: the goji berry.

Goji berries have been eaten for hundreds of years in China to combat aging and to promote good health. These berries have more recently become available for everyone else to benefit from.

You cannot get goji berries fresh because they will turn black if handled; they are usually available dried or as a juice. Dried berries may often be purchased at a Chinese food store. Goji berry juice is available from several different companies.

Dr. Earl Mindell is considered largely responsible for the introduction of the goji berry, in the form of goji juice, to the western world. Dr. Mindell was introduced to the goji berry by a chinese healer in 90's. Dr. Mindell spent 7 years researching the berry and working on turning the berry into a quality juice that would bring the benefits of the goji to the western world.

The taste is usually described as a cross between a cherry and a cranberry, but really they have a flavor all their own. I personally think they taste great and are super for snacking. Goji juice has a particularily delicious, refreshing flavor.

Many people consider eastern medicine and cures to be more "hocus pocus" than medicinal, but modern science has shown us the benefit of the goji berry. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins; we need them to remain strong and healthy. Goji berries have 18 types on amino acids, including all 8 of the amino acids that are considered essential to a healthy lifestyle. They're a great source of cartenoids: a vital ingredient to good vision. Goji berries are fully of vitamins like b1, b2, b6, and Vitamin E; all important for staying healthy. Dr. Earl Mindell is known for more recent research on these berries. His studies have found 4 polysaccharides in goji berries that help cells communicate more efficiently with each other and boost the immune system. On top of all this, these berries contain 21 trace minerals! Obviously goji berries are a great addition to any healthy diet.

No one knows for sure why goji berries have so many vital nutrients, but it's been suggested that it comes from the power of the sun. These berries are grown in the Himalayas, at a higher altitude than any other fruit. While they're generally advertised for their anti-aging effects; they have also been shown to help people sleep, increase strength, increase sexual potency, and even improve mood!

Research has show that these little berries are great for you and have many wonderful health benefits. Why don't you take a trip to the health food store and try some today?
