The most well known study found goji berries to improve the health of cancer patients. But since then, further insight into the health properties of the goji berry has been made.

Scientists found an increase in HDL (”good” cholesterol) and a reduction in blood glucose level. Then, in 2006, XingJiang Agriculture University compared the anti-oxidant effects of goji to vitamin C on aging mice. Polysaccharides in the berry helped compensate for the age-related decline in the mice’s immune system. On the flip side of testing, goji berries have also undergone scrutiny as a toxin.

Goji berries offer some help in this area without having to drastically change your lifestyle. Much of the help of Goji berries is wrapped up in its ability to aid in producing growth hormone.

Arthritis and Goji, can it help?
2008-10-17 23:37:00
People have also been given Goji berries to boost their immune system and keep it under control. Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers have a good reaction to Goji berries because their mixed up immune systems are calmed down and realigned. One thing that all kinds of arthritis have in common is inflammation. Goji berries have been shown to be excellent in the treatment of inflammation. When joints are inflamed, it is because the body is producing too many of a certain type of harmful chemicals. These chemicals make free radicals, which attack the body. One of these nasty little free radicals that cause the most trouble is superoxidase. Normally, an enzyme in the body would eliminate some of these superoxides. However, inflammation overcomes the balance so that it does not happen. Goji berries can be instrumental in increasing these enzymes so that the superoxides are kept in check. Inflammation is reduced or eliminated. Goji berries provide a simple solution for anyone who has problems wi...

Protecting and Supporting the Pancreas and Liver
2008-05-22 22:24:00
The pancreas and liver produce the pancreatic juice and bile necessary for the digestion process. The pancreas secretes two vital hormones, insulin and glucagons, that regulate blood sugar in the body, as well as enzymes needed to digest foods and break down starches. The liver makes and breaks down many hormones and hormone-precursors, including cholesterol, testosterone, and estrogen. Perhaps its most important function is serving as the body’s filter. The liver filters and processes all food, nutrients, alcohol, drugs, and other materials that enter the bloodstream. When the liver is not functioning properly, dangerous toxins build up in the body. The vital importance of these two organs makes liver and pancreas supportive and protective elements indispensable. Research is finding the goji berry fits both these roles. The cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin and glucagons into the blood are called “islets of Langerhans” or islet cells. Each of the islets c...

Antioxidants can help prevent damage to skin
2008-04-24 22:25:00
Skin wrinkles are products of natural aging. How fast you develop wrinkles depend on many factors such as exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, lack of vitamins, lack of antioxidants, etc. Oxidative damage due to free radical chain reactions occur in our skin every second. antioxidants help prevent the damage by neutralizing or quenching the free radicals. Damage s done to the skin accumulate through the years until wrinkles become noticeable. The time it takes for wrinkles to appear may be later for persons whose skin are less subjected to oxidative damage. But persons whose skin are constantly exposed to oxidative damage like being exposed to the sun always, may have wrinkles appear earlier in life. Having a diet rich in antioxidants can greatly help in extending the time wrinkles appear. But when wrinkles begins to show, fret not, there are anti aging wrinkle creams in the market to restore the elasticity of collagen and elastin extending your youthfuln...

Wushu Department, Guangzhou sport university, Guangzhou 510500, China. The aim of this study was to determine the modulatory effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) on the oxidative stress induced by an exhaustive exercise. 32 male Wistar rats were taken in the study. The experiment was a 30-day exhaustive exercise program. We determined the lipid peroxidation, glycogen levels, and anti-oxidant enzyme activities in skeletal muscle. The results demonstrated that L. barbarum polysaccharides administration significantly increases glycogen level and anti-oxidant enzyme activities, and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) level and creatine kinase activities. In conclusion, L. barbarum polysaccharides administration can significantly decrease the oxidative stress induced by the exhaustive exercise.

Information on Mangosteen
2008-04-16 01:06:00
Research on mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) shows that it is a tropical evergreen tree, believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas. The tree grows from 7 to 25 meters tall. The edible fruit is deep reddish purple when ripe. In Asia, the mangosteen fruit is known as the “Queen of Fruits,” while the durian (Durio spp.) is known as the “King of Fruits.” It is closely related to other edible tropical fruits such as button mangosteen and lemon drop mangosteen. The outer shell of the fruit is rather hard, typically 4-6 cm in diameter. Cutting through the shell, one finds a white; fleshy fruit 3-5 cm in diameter. Depending on the size and ripeness, there may or may not be pits in the segments of the fruit. The number of fruit pods is directly related to the number of petals on the bottom of the shell. On average a mangosteen has 5 fruits (round up figure). I have eaten a lot of exotic fruits in my life, including the King Of Fruits - dur...
