If someone live till he was 256 year old, wouldn’t you want to know what he
ate? So what did the legendary Professor Li Chung Yun eat everyday for over 200 years? Well it certainly
wasn’t a cheeseburger and fries. It was a herb or fruit called goji (Lycium
barbarum L), or “Chinese Wolfberry”. Goji is packed with incredible nutrients
and antioxidants. It contains:
1) Over 19 amino acids (that’s 6 times higher than bee pollen)
2) 21 trace minerals
3) More beta carotene than carrots and twice the amount in raw spinach
4) 67 times more vitamin B1 than brown rice
5) 2 times more niacin (B3) than baker’s yeast
6) 5 times more calcium than raw cauliflower
7) 4 times more potassium than bananas
8) 3 times more vitamin C than oranges …the list goes on.
Perhaps the most powerful properties of goji are its 4 bioactive and unique
polysaccharides (LBP1, LBP2, LBP3 and LBP4). These master molecules control
the smooth functioning of every cell in the body giving goji amazing health
and anti-aging benefits.
Today’s big buzzwords in nutrition are antioxidants and ORAC scores with the
rationale being that antioxidants protect tissue and organs by neutralizing
the damaging and mutating effects of free radicals. Free radicals are produced
when the body burns food for energy and immune responses and also from harmful
chemicals in the outside environment.
As an antioxidant, goji ranks number 1; ahead of acai, black raspberry, twice
as high as pomegranate, 5 times higher than prunes and a whopping 10 times
higher than oranges.
While maybe new to North Americans, the goji has a rich history in China
dating back thousands of years. It was used to nourish the Yin and the blood,
protect the heart, and strengthen the eyes, liver and kidneys. In China, goji
and ginseng have always been highly touted as nutritional and therapeutic
plants that promoted anti-aging and long life. The secret weapon used by gold
medal winning Chinese Olympic athletes? You guessed it goji and ginseng.
