Imagine a life where you can be completely healthy, stress free, live long and stay young. Sounds like heaven? It does but the good news is that you can find all that right here on earth. It’s true. The Goji berry is a tiny red fruit that has changed the lives of many people around the world. People who consume this nutrient dense fruit daily have a life expectancy of over a hundred years. Dr. Earl Mindell started Himalayan Goji juice a product of Free Life. He was the first to create a standardized and marketable form of this juice. Goji juice is made from Goji berries found in the Himalayas, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and Xinjiang.
If you travel back with us to 800 AD you will find the first documented history of Goji berries. It has been said that there was once a well, which was dug near a Buddist temple. Berries from the Goji vines which covered the well, fell into it. The people, who drank water from the well, seemed to have excellent teeth and had hardly aged! Thus the Himalayans spread the good news about the Goji fruit to China, Tibet and India. ‘Lycium barbarum’ as is it called has helped in enhancing the immune system, fighting fatigue and ageing and has also helped people in their weight loss programs.
Normally people drink about one ounce of Goji juice to begin with. It has an excellent taste and you can drink as much as you like. There are no side effects. Having about four ounces a day ensures optimum health for an individual. The good thing about Goji juice is that you can share it with the whole family. It is absolutely safe for children. After drinking the juice, the effects can be noticed in a month’s time but for some it may differ according to their nutritional needs and body makeup.
Goji juice is completely natural and thus it is drunk without sugar and artificial sweeteners. It has four unique polysaccharides, which are vital for the body to protect itself from disease, age and fatigue. Free Life, the company that produces Himalayan Goji juice follows a seven-step quality process to ensure consistency in the product. So you can be assured that every liter of Goji juice is pure and authentic. The brand does use certain safe freshness preservatives to keep the juice from spoiling. Some other fresh fruit juices may be added to give it the extra flavor. Once you open a bottle of Goji juice, it is best that you drink it before thirty days. After opening the bottle, store it in a refrigerator till you drink it again.
Due to its anti-ageing properties, it is gaining much popularity around the world. It is sought after by celebrities who want to stay young for as long as they can. Since it provides extra energy anyone can drink it to stay on his or her feet longer or to handle a normal working day.
