Increase your Life Span with Goji Berries
We all grew up being told eat your carrots they’re good for your eyes! While carrots when cooked do release 39% of their beta carotene, they are listed high on the glycemic index chart, which means they aren’t the best veggie to munch on when tying to lose weight. No need to fret, try a Goji berry instead!
Goji berries are from the far east and have been used by traditional herbalists in India, China and Tibet for over 6,000 years. Goji berries are very high in antioxidants and beta carotene and due to this are very beneficial in aiding the following: liver protection, improving circulation, eyesight (including warding off Macular Degeneration), sexual function and fertility, increasing circulation and types of cancers.
So next time you reach for a sweet and sour healthy snack grab some Goji Berries and improve your life span!
