A Tiny, Red Berry That Packs a Whollop of Health Benefits
What to Eat to Boost Your Immune System
What even is a gogi berry you ask??? Goji berries are the dried fruits of two related plants: Lycium barbarum and Lycium chinense and have been a part of traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years. These tiny little fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants–a perfect little snack if you’re trying to eat more foods to boost your immune system. They contain a unique antioxidants called Lycium barbarum polysaccharides.
Gogi berries have been linked to:
• fight harmful free radicals and inflammation.
• a reduced risk of heart disease and cancer
• controlling the release of sugar into the blood.
• protect against age-related eye diseases
• and may help combat skin aging (yes, please!).
• can improve depression and anxiety
Although they can be a little expensive to eat on a regular basis, consider treating yourself once in awhile–maybe swap them out for that bottle of Chardonnay. You can find them at your local health store on even on Amazon.
