Replace your Orange Juice with Goji Berry Juice

Hello

Replace Your Orange Juice with Goji Berry Juice

The goji wolfberry is a powerful antioxidant and one of most nutrient rich foods.

In fact, David Wolfe, the author of Superfoods: The Food and Medicine of the Future ,lists the goji berry as one of the top 10 Superfoods.

Rich in antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin, these Chinese berries are commonly found in juices and teas or can be bought as a dried fruit.

Goji Berries Benefits

Goji berries benefits to the macula are the result of their high amounts of antioxidant compounds, including zeaxanthin.

While lutein is concentrated mostly in the rod cells of your retina, the cone cells, which are responsible for detailed central vision, have a high concentration of zeaxanthin. Both of these pigments are so prevalent in the macula they are called the macular pigment.

The macular pigment provides protection to the retina from the damaging free radicals of sunlight.

Low levels of macular pigment are often found in eyes with age related macular degeneration (AMD) and in those with risk factors for AMD.

Goji Berry Juice

For us drinking goji berry juice is a quick and easy way to get some great antioxidants, especially zeaxanthin. We drink a small glass of it every morning.

To get the full benefit of the goji wolfberry be sure to buy juice that has no added sweeteners, water or other juices.
