Many studies have proven that berries like blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, goji berries and strawberries are highly beneficial for health. Also called as ‘wolfberry’, goji berries have been consumed for years due to their medicinal and healing properties. They are an excellent nutrient-rich super food and must be consumed regularly by growing children as well as mothers. You can add goji berries to breads, muffins, smoothies, cereals or salads.

Goji berries are usually available in dried form and can be added to oatmeal or trail mix. They can be soaked in water for some time and grinded to make a delicious goji berry juice.  Here are some key health benefits of goji berries for your reference. Read on.

1. Strengthens immune system

Natural goji berry pulp contains the nutrients required to strengthen your immune system, for example, iron, zinc, and Vitamin C.

2. Energy Booster

The high amounts of iron present in goji makes them a potential energy booster.

3. Healthy skin, hair & nails

Organic goji berries are filled with beauty minerals and vitamins, like Vitamin A and Vitamin C. Deficiency of vitamin A is a common problem faced by many acne sufferers, and it can also cause dry skin, dry hair and brittle nails. As we all know, Vitamin C is a superfood for skin, as it helps in collagen production that keeps your skin beautiful and firm. Remarkably, goji berry is also a complete protein which is a building block of the cells, including our hair, skin, and nails.

4. Good for vision

Natural goji berry contains more carotenoids such as zeaxanthin and beta-carotene when compared to other berries. Though all carotenoids are health-friendly, zeaxanthin is known for its effectiveness in improving eye vision. Research shows that intake of foods that have more zeaxanthin levels can reduce the risk of AMD (age-related Macular Degeneration) – the key cause of blindness and vision loss in elderly people.  So, eat these wonder berries to find your way to a healthy life!

Note: Please note that goji berries can interact with ‘blood-thinners’, hence when you consume blood-thinning medications, avoid eating these berries. Also, consult your healthcare provider to know more information about the amounts of goji berries that can be consumed daily.
