The Goji Berry and Less Stress
In my continuing investigation of alternative foods one of the great foods I have come across is the Goji Berry (Lycium barbarum). The Goji Berry is known in China as the “feel good” berry or in other words is a natural stress reducer.
Katrina Coyoca, a staff writer for Goji Juice Review, states that, “Goji provides the energy reserves to help one handle just about any difficulty. In Asia, it is said that constant consumption of goji brings a cheerful attitude, and nothing beats good cheer for overcoming stress! It has been suggested that goji's unique stress-lowering ability can help to normalize cortisol levels. If you can end the cortisol cascade, you'll soon be on your way to a lower Body Mass Index and a healthier weight. You'll also notice an impressive array of benefits for whole body good health, including:
-Less fat storage
-Reduction of food cravings
-Less fatigue after eating
-Normal secretion of HGH, the body's growth hormone
-Lower cholesterol and blood lipids
-Improved insulin utilization and blood sugar management
-Better sleep”
Now, I will be investigating each of these claims, because each one has huge significance. This can possibly stabilize the Diabetes problem with the improved insulin utilization and blood sugar management.
With reduced inflammation, it can affect arthritic joints and the horrible pain that is involved with all of the numerous Arthritis diseases that are encompassed. Dr. Perricone, on the Oprah Show, has stated that inflammation is the greatest cause of aging.
If the Goji Berry, helps with all or any of these, lower stress, weight reduction, stabilize Diabetes, help reduce pain associated with arthritis, helps with normal secretion of HGH, improve immune function and have better sleep, I know that my husband and I need to at least give this a try to see if we can feel better. If we do not feel better, it really does not matter how great it sounds on paper.
