goji berries nutritional valueGoji Berries - What Are They

The Goji Berry is sometimes referred to as the Wolfberry or it's Latin name - Lycium Barbarum. They are an exotic berry superfood that contain huge amounts of nutrients and antioxidants. Goji Berries originated mainly from Tibet, China and other Himalayan regions.

Goji Berries have been used for their healing and medical properties for centuries in many parts of the Far East. They have been very popular in Asia but it�s only recently that they have started to become more widely known and consumed in Europe and North America.

Goji Berries contain more vitamin C than other fruits like Acerola cherries and oranges. They also contain more antioxidants than any other known food even including Acai berries that are one of the most popular superfoods after Goji Berries. Grown in the pristine unpolluted valleys of the Himalayan Mountains, the Goji Berry is one of the most nutrient rich foods ever to be found.

Also in recent years (particularly in the US and Canada) there has been a huge rise in the popularity of Goji Juice and various other Goji drinks.

Goji Juice has also been used to good effect in some medical experiments but not much has been documented properly as of yet. However, the Chinese Journal of Oncology in 1994 published a study that found that 79 out of 100 people responded better to cancer treatment whilst taking Goji.

It�s important that you get your Goji Juice and Goji Berries from the Himalayan regions as the berries have a spectral signature depending upon where they are grown. This makes sure the berries contain the four unique polysaccharides that are thought to be the key to the amazing health benefits that the Goji Berry provides.

People from all walks of life are now deciding to include Goji Berries and Goji Juice in their daily food regime because of their nutritional qualities.

This article was written by Arthur Martin who has been an expert on health foods in general, and has owned a health food shop for several years. He has now become one of the leading distributors of Goji Berries in the UK.

Just Turned Raw - Wondering What To Eat?

When you first go raw, your main fear might be: "what in the world am I going to eat?" How will I survive on rabbit food? Can only nuts, vegetables and fruit withstand the test of time?

After all, being a raw foodist is not about following a fad diet, it is a whole new life style. At the beginning, you will most likely crave some cooked foods, because it is all new and you are still addicted to your old pattern of eating. The best way to fight this addiction is to create satisfying dishes that resemble your old cooked dishes (such as a raw spaghetti), but with raw organic ingredients.

At times, you have to trick your senses into believing that you are still eating those cooked dishes by making raw food recipes that resemble cooked food recipes .

This is a great transitional tool; you will be excited about your tantalizing raw food recipes rather than focusing on what you are missing out on. After all, the raw food diet is about abundance, not deprivation.

Next, you must create a staple dish, just like when you used to cook food and you had an easy staple dish that you ate once or twice a week. So it only makes sense that you would create your own raw food staple dish. This is perhaps the best advice from me to you, to avoid falling off the wagon. So when you don't know what to make for lunch or dinner, your mind races... makes sure it races in the right direction... the direction to a raw healthy recipe!

It will take some time to build new habits, but pretty soon it will be second nature. Keep two or three recipes on hand in your kitchen until you can do them with your eyes closed.

Once you have mastered your new recipes, try other ones and create new versions of the old ones. Have friends over and see them impressed at what you can do with raw food.

To your health,

Gabrielle
