Goji Berries

I have been adding in my juice smoothies again. I started doing this around week 2 of P3. Previously I was making them with organic pomegranate juice, ice, blueberries and strawberries (from my local farmers market), but I recently received an order of Goji berries and started adding those in. They are so good and make the juice taste even better.

Plus Goji berries have a lot of Vitamin Cd, more antioxidants then blueberries and pomegranates. Here's some info from http://gojiberry.com/ where I get mine from:




* Protects the liver — less fatigue
* Helps eyesight – supports kidney function
* Increases metabolic activity — burns fat and aids digestion
* Boosts immune function – Lymphocytes, Interleukin 2, Immunoglobulin
* Improves circulation — supports distribution of nutrients and quality energy levels
* Improves sexual function and fertility — boosts libido and energy
* Promotes longevity — brings life support to the blood and all internal organs
* Rich in phytonutrients, antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin.
* Test studies are showing that Goji berries may prevent the growth of cancer cells, reduce blood glucose, and lower cholesterol levels.
* Goji has unique bioactive polysaccharides (LBP) — key markers for building immune response

I've also ordered the seeds bc I'd really like to grow my own. I bought a 1 pound bag and I'm already down to half. I make the juices not just for me, but my entire family. The kids love them and I know they are getting a healthy boost.

Not only that, but on top of the awesome supplements I have been taking, it too increases metabolic activity. How awesome is that?
