Goji Juice Nutrition

April 27th, 2010 by admin

Goji berries or technically Lycium barbarum (Latin) has always been considered a miracle product. There are many legends built around Goji berries and even festivals are held in its honor. And if that is not enough even a renowned Chinese poet of the Tang dynasty (772-842 AD) wrote a poem dedicated to its benefits. There is a legend around it. It was during the Tang Dynasty that something queer happened.

A famous Buddhist temple had a well dug near its wall. The wall was covered with Goji vines and Goji berries used to fall into the well for years. What was surprising was that monks living in the temple always remained in good health and even in old age no one had a single white hair and most had not lost a single tooth. Why was that so? Well, because they drank water from the well.

Himalayans were perhaps the first natural healers of the world and they propagated their knowledge to herbalists of China, India and Tibet. And what was their one cure all secret? Well, it was Goji berries that were the native of Himalayas. And when people came to the Himalayan valleys and came to know about the effectiveness of Goji berries, they took the vines to their homes and planted it there. That is how the knowledge about Goji berries spread.

The importance of Goji berries for people of Central Asia could be gauged from the fact that they celebrate for two week every year in honor of Goji berries. Scientists found out four primary bioactive polysaccharides in Lycium barbarum. These were known as Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP). These unique compounds actually manage most of the biochemical defense systems of our body.

And the knowledge that Goji berries are not limited to herbalists only. Major universities have undertaken research on Goji berries and they have actually come to the same conclusion. There have been over fifty studies related to Goji berries and have been published in almost all the better reputed health journals.

Some of these journals include: International Immunopharmacology, Journal of Ethano pharmacology, British Journal of Nutrition, China Pharmacology and Toxicology, Journal of Chinese Herbal Medicine, Chinese Herb News Magazine Research Communications Molecular Pathology and Pharmacology Chinese Patent Herbs, Nature Reviews Drugs, Chinese Herbs, Nature Reviews Drug Discovery Chinese Oncology Magazine, Physiology Academic Journal Chinese Stomatology, Hygiene Research and a whole lot more.

You can find a lot more about Goji berries in the book “Goji: The Himalayan Health Secret” written by Dr. Mindell. He writes in the book that there are many longest living people in the world who have been consuming this red fruit on a daily basis. Goji berry is no doubt the most effective anti-aging food in the world. What is more it is perhaps the most nutritionally dense food present.

Some of the major nutrients found in Goji juice are the glyconutrients and the phytonutrients. Glyconutrients provide the body with eight essential sugars that are necessary for human growth while the twenty two phytonutrients help in intercellular communication.

Let us have a look at some of the benefits of Goji juice.

Boosts your immune system to fight diseases
Powerful antioxidant helping in fighting premature ageing.
Regulates blood pressure
Regulates blood sugar at the initial stages of diabetes
Prevents DNA mutation, inhibits tumor growth and control peroxidation of lipids. All this helps in preventing the risk of cancer
Positively affect vision and cardiac functions and also works wonders for headaches and insomnia.
Sexual health and fertility is improved
Weight regulation
Improves dry cough
Improves digestive system and also improves memory.

Let us have a look at the composition of Goji berry to understand why it is so beneficial.

Germanium, which is not found in any other fruit
Carotenoids like beta carotene and vitamin C
Four important polysaccharides named LBP1, LBP2, LBP3 and LBP4. These are the key for good health.
19 amino acids that also includes the eight most essential amino acids. Also contains about twenty one minerals in traces including copper, selenium, zinc, phosphorus and others.
Zeaxanthin which is very beneficial for the eyes, B-complex and fatty acids.
Vitamin E, rarely found in fruits. It is generally found in nuts and seeds.
Cyperone, Beta-Sitosterol (anti-inflammatory), Solavetivone, Betaine (cardiovascular system), Linoleic acid (weight loss) and Physalin.
Iron concentration is about 11 mg per 100 gm of fruit which is very high.

You can easily get Goji juice from health stores and there are many online stores that can provide you with Goji juice. It is recommended to take two to four ounce daily but there are no side effects of increased dosages. Most of the people start feeling the health benefits within one month.

Healthy Eating and Nutritional Needs

April 27th, 2010 by admin

When we talk about nutrition we are talking about the types of foods we humans need to eat in order to maintain our bodies in a healthy state. While the USDA has developed ways to determine our general daily nutritional needs, our individual eating habits also have an impact on our health. The ability of the body to maintain its health in any conditions other than the ideal ones is directly related to the nutrition it receives every day. And the mind has an enormous role to play in our ability to stay healthy as well. The human brain does not develop or function very well without its required dose of protein every day, however.

Nutrition means nurturing the body to keep it healthy and functioning. We must provide our bodies with all the food, vitamins, and minerals they need in order to thrive. So, how can we determine whether or not we are giving our bodies what they need?

A health class in school is taught as a science. Such classes address issues such as personal hygiene, disease, and other health matters as they apply to the general public. There is no individual attention give to methods for achieving optimal health levels through our eating habits. It is ironic that the most important and basic thing we can do to influence out health is essentially ignored: the way we eat and what we eat.

Experts recommend combining the fields of nutrition and physical activity to develop an approach that can be offered to everyone who enters the school system. A program such as this would give each individual the personal knowledge to meet his or her body’s unique caloric and nutritional needs. Then they could complete their education by attaining the mental competencies expected.

Nutrition represents an important concept that should be given more attention in the educational system. Our ability to recognize nutritional requirements and to find the foods that meet those requirements is a critical part of good health. We need to learn the difference between healthy eating and unhealthy eating habits if we want to live long and healthy lives. We need to incorporate good nutrition into our lifestyles.

Bad nutrition choices currently receive more advertising money than healthy alternatives. This does not mean that it is easier or more convenient to follow a bad nutrition path. It just means that habits should change. Research has shown that it takes about two weeks to move from conscious action to unconscious thought. This is not a long time to spend altering patterns that could affect us for the rest of our lives. It is also not a long time to spend in order to achieve the reward that comes from setting a good example to your children and others.

Nutritional Health Supplements – How Nutritional Supplements Could Save Your Life?

April 25th, 2010 by admin

Nutritional supplements could be just what you are looking for to sort out your various health issues if you are suffering from conditions caused by poor nutrition. If you happen to be the kind of person who is always hurried and stop at any one of the drive-thrus you pass as you are driving along, you are certainly not getting the best nutrition. Sodas, French fries and burgers have very little nutritional value. Usually they have much too much ingredients that are detrimental to your health. These fatty foods can actually require your body to consume the few nourishing ingredients that they have for digesting those components that are unhealthy.

Dietetic Supplements Can Delay the Number One Killer

Studies show you are more liable to die from bad nutritional habits than from a major accident. It has also been proven that cancer as well as heart disease can often prevented by taking nutritional health supplements. Several of these ailments are triggered off by not having enough the vitamins or minerals that boost your immune system and keep it to operate most effectively. Consider vitamins and mineralos as well as herbs as the tools that are needed by the body to keep serious illnesses at bay. When a person’s body does not have the appropriate tools, most diseases are invited to take over.

Which are the Supplements that are Absolutely Essential?

It is sometimes difficult to decide on which are the necessary supplements and which supplements are really not necessary. Several stores stock a huge range of supplements of various types. Most stores will usually keep supplements that contain vitamins as well as those that contain herbs. The actually fact is every body does not need the same nutrients. Any vitamin supplements you decide to take, should be taken only as a supplement, to offset your nutrient levels with the food you eat. If you regularly refrain from eating sufficient fruits and vegetables, you would require a vitamin supplement. You should know though, if you are looking a special supplement that will help with boosting memory as well as energy, you will be able to find a herbal line of supplements that can solve the problem.

Nutritional Guides & How They Help

The best thing to do should be to get yourself a detailed guide on herbal supplements that also features details on vitamins. A good guide should be impartial and break down the value offered by each supplement, and also the few brands that offer the highest nutrients. The best nutritional supplement will be made up of a mix of top notch nutritional ingredients. As you are likely to experience with other products, there are products that would pass any quality test and those that would be sure to fail. Your best bet would be to get a guide that offers a break down of the ingredients contained in individual pills, what results you can expect, and a few equitable reviews from people who have been taking supplements.

Safety Issues Surrounding Nutritional Supplements

While most people will not suffer from any reaction brought on by nutritional supplements, you should make it a point to consult with a qualified practitioner prior to starting any kind of regimen. If you currently have a health condition of any kind or are currently on a course of medications, speak to your doctor about supplements that are not harmful in any way.
