Kirk Bachelder asked:
Ever heard of Li Qing Yuen? He’s the person who lived up to a ripe old age of 252 years. No kidding. The life (and longevity) of Prof. Li Qing Yuen, who lived between 1678-1930, is one of the best documented. And you know what? He’s reported to have consumed Goji berries daily!
Goji berry is a member of the wolfberry family and is known by the scientific name of Lycium barbarum. It’s credited with increasing the life span and having several health improving properties. It is one of the richest natural nutrients available on earth. It is said that the Chinese have been using Goji berry, as a food and a medicine, for more than five thousand years.
Nutritional value of Goji Berries
Goji berry is a rich source of nutrients and amino acids. It contains 18 amino acids, 21 trace minerals and several vitamins and minerals. It has six times more amino acids than bee pollen, 500 times more Vitamin C by weight than oranges, more iron than spinach, and more Beta carotene than carrots. Goji berry contains minerals like Calcium and Magnesium, and Vitamins B1, B2, B6 and Vitamin E, normally found in grains and seeds and rarely in fruits. In addition, these berries contain many complex compounds and phytonutrients. High levels of protein content (13% of these berries are protein – higher than whole wheat), and antioxidants are other nutrient highlights. In addition, Goji berries contain Beta-sitosterol, Betaine, and essential fatty acids. With all this nutrition packed into it, it is small wonder that these berries have a great medicinal and health value.
Benefits of Goji Berries
Goji berries have been used in traditional systems of medicine to treat various conditions like anemia, cough and inflammation. It has also been used for improving the immune system, protection of the liver, and improving eyesight. Apart from the curative properties, Goji berry is believed to have a positive effect on the health and wellness of those consuming it, and benefits the user with longevity, increased vitality and sexual prowess.
Elderly patients, who were given Goji berries thrice a week, reported several benefits, including improved sleep, better appetite and recovery of sexual function in some cases.
Antioxidants combat free radicals, which are responsible for damaging cells and DNA, increasing the risk of cancer and aiding the ageing process. The high level of antioxidants in Goji berries ensures that the ageing process is slowed down. It is believed that Goji berries have contributed to the freedom from diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease in the people of Asia who have been consuming this fruit.
About the plant
Goji berry grows in protected valleys with vines reaching up to heights of 4 m. The plant grows in sandy or clay soil conditions under semi shade or no shade. The fruits are never plucked by hand since they are very sensitive and can be spoilt if they are touched by hand at this stage. Instead the fruits are shaken on to a mat and then dried in the shade.
Dosage and consumption details
Goji berries taste somewhat like raisins. They can be taken alone or mixed with other ingredients. Daily dosage could be about 10-30 grams.
The best way to take dried Goji berries is to wash them in water and soak them for a short while, before consuming. You can at reasonable prices at most Chinese stores.

Wondering what to eat on the cabbage juice diet? Your not alone. Juice diets can be confusing if you haven’t done them before. Juice diets, like the cabbage juice diet can also be harmful to your health if you don’t do them properly.
Questions often arise like, “how long do I go on the juice diet for? Can I eat anything else beside cabbage juice? What do I eat when I go off the diet? If you’ve been wondering whether a cabbage juice diet is for you, you’ll enjoy learning more about this healthy, cleansing diet.
Cabbage Juice Diet – An Ulcer Remedy
Cabbage juice diets have been used for centuries as a folk remedy for digestive tract disorders. A well known 1952 study involving peptic ulcer patients, patients who had gastric ulcers found on the lining of the stomach – affirmed the effectiveness of the remedy.
The study showed that patients who drank four glasses a day of raw cabbage juice healed in four to ten days, versus patients who received hospital stay treatments that would take about 30 days to complete. As a bonus, the patients with cabbage juice in their diet reported that the juice relieved their ulcer pain.
Cabbage juice has reportedly also been used to treat the symptoms of other gastrointestinal disorders like:
* Colitis
* Indigestion
* Constipation
No wonder people are so interested in going on a cabbage juice diet.
Go To The Doctor First
You should consult your doctor before you begin any special cleansing diet. You will be following some form of the cabbage juice diet for three weeks, so be sure you have your doctor’s permission to cleanse your system and boost your energy levels.
You also need to purchase a juicer, if you don’t already own one. To get the cleansing and nutritional effects you desire, you must drink the freshest juice possible. That means you need to own a juicer so you can extract the juices from the vegetables yourself. Also don’t forget to buy organic cabbage for juicing.
Day 1 Through Day 8
For the first eight days on the cabbage juice diet, what to eat is simple: cabbage juice, other vegetable juices, and water. Do not purchase prepared juices. Drink only juices you have extracted yourself from cabbage, celery, beets, carrots, or other vegetables.
Day 9 Through Day 11
Spend these three days transitioning on the cabbage juice diet. What to eat during this time includes simple, light, natural, unprocessed foods in small portions. Stick to plant-based foods like fruits, fruit juices, and vegetable broth. Keep drinking plenty of cabbage juice during this time.
Day 12 Through Day 21
Wondering what to eat when its over? End your cabbage juice diet with a diet consisting of 60% raw foods and 40% simple cooked foods like rice, potatoes, beans and other starchy vegetables. Continue to restrict animal products, eating only plant-based foods.
I truly hope you use the above information, cleanse your body and start to feel great. Good luck on your journey towards health and wellness!

Acai capsules have healthy combination of nutrients taken from acai fruit, like proteins and healthy unsaturated fat. Acai berry is different than any other diet supplement.

LiveWellNow asked:
Many have asked how our acai juice compares to other acai fruit juices and supplements available. Some competitors note the products they sell contain 100% acai in the form of a juice or supplement. They assert that because their product is “100% acai” and ours is not that somehow theirs is better.
For example, one company online sells acai supplements with 100% pure acai. A serving size of this product is two capsules and contains 1,000 mg or 1 gram of freeze dried acai. Let’s say for illustration purposes only (as the actual amount is proprietary) that MonaVie contains 25% acai. Does this somehow make MonaVie less potent? No, because if 1 serving of MonaVie, which is 1 oz. ,contains 25% acai by weight and one serving is equal to 60 grams, then twenty-five percent of sixty grams is 15 grams (or 15,000 mg) of acai in each serving.
You can do the math, but MonaVie’s 25% acai by weight turns into 15 times more acai per serving than their 100% acai at 1 gram per serving and MonaVie guarantees you will be getting much more than 1 gram of acai per serving. The 25% acai by weight in our product is 100% acai – just like the competition – but our product also contains other beneficial ingredients.
Some ask, wouldn’t it be better to buy a 100% acai juice product than a product with only 25% acai? As an example only, if someone tells you they sell a 100% pure acai juice, do not believe them. The acai berry is a very unique fruit. Unlike any other berry, acai is about 90% seed and the remaining portion is pulp and skin. When processing acai berries they turn into a puree at best. You cannot squeeze acai berries to create a 100% acai juice.
Both Original and Active MonaVie juices are 100% juice made up of 19 fruit purees and juices including 100% pure acai. MonaVie mixes its beneficial fruits and juices into one drink, which includes a high quality and the most scientifically studied acai available. The acai used in MonaVie has been the subject of at least three scientific studies and a study on its antioxidant benefits in humans was published in early 2008. Ask the competition if they have clinical research on their acai product.
The freeze dried acai and puree used in MonaVie are taken from the best quality sources available. As an example of MonaVie’s uncompromising commitment to quality, the company spends the necessary money for the highest quality acai available. How? The current buying power of the US Dollar (USD) is low compared to the Brazilian Real (BRL).
Some companies buy lower quality acai berries to save money. These lower quality berries have less pulp meaning fewer flavonoids, lower fatty-acid content, and less nutritional value. Regardless of cost, MonaVie’s pledge to quality does not allow for the introduction of lower quality acai berries into its products.
MonaVie is intimately involved in the manufacturing process from the harvesting of the acai berry to the finished product. Once picked, processing of the acai berries starts within 24 hours. This ensures the highest nutritional composition of the berries is maintained. Left out for longer periods, the acai berries start to lose their nutritional value.
Other companies may not follow this simple step. The quality and content of the acai used in MonaVie is tested and validated by an independent laboratory before it is approved for use in the MonaVie products. This guarantees when purchasing our product you will receive a high-quality and safe product.
MonaVie’s acai berries are processed using a unique freeze drying procedure and frozen in the form of a puree to maintain its nutritional composition. Both freeze drying and freezing acai berries maintains 100% of their phytonutrient content. Other processing methods, such as air drying and spray drying sometimes used by other companies diminish the phytonutrient content of the acai berry by as much as 55-70%.
Other companies may use a freeze drying process, but the proprietary freeze dried process used by MonaVie and the claims related to its antioxidant and immune benefits are patent pending. This means a patent has been filed to protect the intellectual properties of the unique freeze drying process used and the claims associated with it.
Some have asked to see a copy of the patent application, but we would never provide this information because it would reveal information that is unique to the acai we use. Also, because of our quality specifications and processing methods used, the acai puree and freeze-dried powder have a significantly higher percentage of pulp when compared to other acai sources. The pulp is packed with beneficial nutrients and antioxidants. If you like your juices pulp-free, you may be limiting the amount of beneficial nutrients your body needs.
Some companies selling acai juices (these would have to be blended with other juices to truly be a juice) often use a process called clarification. This process strips the acai content of the juice with as much of its nutrient composition, especially the beneficial fatty acids. They do this because fats are generally highly unstable and are difficult to use in juice formulations.
Companies who sell products on the store shelf cannot easily explain why their juice may contain greenish clumps which are perfectly normal in a situation of non-clarification and are actually healthy for you. Instead of dealing with these issues, they highly process their juice and clarify it, but by doing so they compromise the nutritional quality of their product.
A person may be purchasing a product claiming to be “100% acai juice” from a health food store, but you are not getting the same quality of acai or acai juice when compared to MonaVie. The quality and superiority of MonaVie’s acai juice is next to none! It is truly the premier acai blend.

Alien asked:
Apple juice is a great way to kick-start your day or quench your thirst on a hot summer day.
The juice is produced by crushing apples, the extraction of which is then filtered to give you a clear juice and is then pasteurized.
Besides being a delicious drink, what makes it so popular, is that it is very healthy.
Making of…
Extracting juice from an apple tends to require heavy equipment, as a result of which it is always commercially produced, unlike the juices from other fruits such as oranges and lemons.
It is interesting to note that apple drink is one of the most frequently used fruit juices worldwide.
Juice concentrate is made by evaporating fresh apple essence, extracted from fresh apples. There are two kinds of apple concentrate, namely, clear and cloudy juice concentrate.
The clear juice concentrate is produced by removing Pectin and starch during the production process. The reason why apple juice tends to have a cloudy appearance is because of the evenly-distributed small pulp suspensions in the juice concentrate.
Apple Juice as an antioxidant
According to research, the cloudy apple drink is healthier as it contains more antioxidants than the clear juice. For those who are unfamiliar with the term antioxidants, they are compounds that neutralize free radicals, molecules that can damage body cells and contribute to various diseases.
However, it has been noticed that consumers prefer the clear juice and retailers opt for it too, due to its longer shelf life. Despite all this, it is still better to eat whole apples with their skin rather than drink the juice to get the most antioxidants.
Apple juice diet
There is no denying the wide variety of apples that can be utilized for producing juice. Apple juice is packed with vitamins A and C and is a powerful cleanser and general tonic for the entire system.
Apple juice antioxidants
If you find the taste too strong, just dilute the juice with water or mix it with another fruit or vegetable juice, such as carrots, melons or cucumbers.
A piece of advice, though, in order to keep the juice from turning brown, it would be a good idea to juice a lemon, before juicing the apples.
Some people even resort to an apple diet, which involves the short term intake of raw vegetable and fruit juices only as a means of detoxification. This method helps to eliminate toxins from the body.
Toxins that can harm the body tissue are transformed chemically to less harmful compounds and excreted visa the stools or urine. One of the reasons this fruit is used is because apple is rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
Nutrition benefits of apple juice
Apple has a high concentration of phenolics, which researchers say help to protect from many diseases associated with aging, including heart disease and cancer. Besides vitamin C, apple also contains the mineral nutrient ‘boron’ which is believed to promote healthy bones.
Additionally, it also helps to lower blood cholesterol, improves bowel function, reduces the risk of stroke, prostrate cancer, type II diabetes and asthma.
The phrase ‘an apple a day’ now has new meaning for those eager to maintain their mental skills, irrespective of their age. Research suggests that consuming apple juice may in fact protect against cell damage, which contributes to age related memory loss.
There is no denying then that the benefits of drinking juice are multi-fold. Furthermore, if the label states 100% apple juice, this means that it is fat free, saturated fat free and sodium and cholesterol free.
Although the nutrition fact label will not tell you, but the fact remains that apples contribute minerals to the diet, which promotes bone health.
So the next time you are looking for a drink for you and your family, stay away from those frizzy ones and opt for apple juice, which is packed with vitamins that are truly beneficial.
