Goji Juice

The Secret Of The Goji Berry

The goji berry is native to the Himalayas. Because of the extreme weather conditions, the berry has adapted to the harsh environment by storing nutrients. When humans eat these berries the same nutritious properties are transferred to the person eating it. While Western medicine focuses on finding cures and fixes for illness, the Eastern philosophy focuses on preventative living to stay healthy. The goji berry is a power house for any proactive healthy living program. The secret of the goji berry is that it is the most intense, highest quality, most nutrient dense berry on earth. On top of that is the fact that it is also one of the most easily absorbed berry on earth. Check out the previously posted related article on acidosis: Click here

The Many Goji Berry Benefits

Like all berries there are any benefits to eating to eating goji berries. I am going to keep this simple and not get into all the technical, chemical and medical mumbo-jumbo-terminology. These are just some of the changes people have seen and which have been documented when including goji juice into a regular daily diet:

Longevity
Increased energy
Lower blood pressure
Cancer recovery
Relieve headache
Improve digestion
Fight inflammation of arthritis
Improved sleep
Restore ph balance
Maintain healthy cholesterol levels
Increase eye health
Improved immune system
Balance blood sugars
Inhibit tumor growth
Increased calcium absorption

Tenzing Norgay Climbed Everest

Tenzing Norgay was on the top of Mount Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953. He also summited Everest with almost every expedition that climbed Everest over the next 20 years. The fact that Norgay and all sherpas are the packers, the load carriers, to the top of Everest for every foreigner that attempts the summit is a testament to the powers of the goji berry. In areas isolated all across Asia, where the populations consume the native goji berries daily the benefits of the nutrient dense fruit are obvious. Many people live long and energetic lives well past 100 years. Living to the age of 120 is not uncommon. These people are virtually fee of pain and illness. The many conditions that are plaguing the modern world are almost non-existent. Long living people eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains. The nutrient dense goji berry juice is an awesome addition to any healthy diet. If it is good enough for Tensing, then it is good enough for me! How about you?

Body Builders, Steak Lovers, Dieters

Body builders, Americans who love their steaks and high protein dieters will all benefit from the goji berries ability to keep the PH balanced in your body. In addition everyone will benefit from the antioxidant rich gogi juice because of it ability to build and support a strong immune system and lifestyle. Click here for more information on goji juice.

High Protein Diets Cause Acidosis

Americans Eat Too Much Protein

Many Americans are living in a state of acidosis. High protein diets cause our bodies and blood to become overly acid. Most Americans eat far to many animal proteins. The blood stream, also know as the “River Of Life” has many functions. Some of which are transporting water, oxygen and nutrients though out the bodies millions of cells. It also removes waste, performs immune defenses, clots cuts and wounds, and removes carbon dioxide from our system. In an ideal state the body and blood stream is slightly alkaline. A ph of 7.5 is neutral and a healthy body has a ph of 7.5 to 8 or nine. When your body has a ph on the acidic side it is called acidosis. This state creates a state that is more prone to illnesses.

Body Building Protein Loading

People who eat very high quantities of protein frequently develop the state of acidosis. Whether you are protein loading for body building purposes, diet situations or you just plain like to eat big steaks, to much protein causes acidosis and puts you at risk for more diseases. Having a low body ph can result in lowering your immune deficiency, a build up of toxins, increased tooth decay, poor blood clotting abilities and an increased susceptibility of all diseases. With the many diseases earth today, they all have one thing in common. High acidity is the common trait every disease has. As a competitive body builder I have always maintained a fine line between keeping my ph neutral or alkaline. I want the protein and I want the alkaline ph but they just do not go together. I am really focused on keeping my body in a state of homeostasis which means that I want to maintain neutral levels or slightly alkaline ph.

High Protein Weight Loss Diets

Weight loss programs that focus on high protein consumption can create the same problems. Other symptoms of low ph are gout, kidney problems, and an increase in tooth decay. The Americans obsession with steak and rich foods are enough alone to create unhealthy ph levels. The average American should consume about 40-60 grams of protein per day. Your average dieter or American can frequently be consuming excess of 100 grams per day. Many body builders or physique competitors consume their body weight in grams of protein per day. These excess proteins are turned into body acids and sets up an environment for a state of illness and can drain your energy as well. All high protein diets that are maintained for extended periods of time will result in a low body ph.

Check Your PH Levels

If you are on a high protein weight loss program, are a body builder or someone who just eats tons of meat go get some ph strips from your health food store or pharmacy and check your ph. You can test your ph periodically using ph strips. Check both your urine and saliva to get the most accurate results. If you have a low acidic ph take some steps to correct this. Your ph should be slightly acidic. The ph strips will have a ph chart on the package for you to compare it to.

The Solution To Acidosis

Reducing your protein intake and especially rich red meat or organ meat proteins is a good start. For me just monitoring my protein intake was not enough because when I am getting ready for a competition I consume large quantities of protein powders. I found that consuming more fruits rich in antioxidants can help. The best fruits are cherries and blueberries. Also, the Malaysian Goji fruit is extremely effective. This fruit is one of the highest antioxidents available. (Don’t mistake the acid content of the food, with the acid content of your blood. They do not relate.) I will share more on Goji juice in the next few days. For now here is a web link that will give you more information. Click Here

Excitotoxins Are A Big Health Mistake

One of the biggest health mistakes that most people make is that they consume exorbitant quantities of excitotoxins. That doesn’t even sound good does it?! An excitotoxin makes your brain think something tastes good when it doesn’t. An excitotoxins causes your brain nerves to fire so quickly that they actually get burned out. Excitotoxins kill brain cells. I don’t know about you, but I need all the brain cells I can get!

Excitotoxins cause health problems

Most non-nutritive sweeteners are in the class of excitotoxins. Another well-known excitotoxin is the natural flavor enhancer MSG. MSG kills brain cells in everyone, but those who say that they are allergic to MSG are just more sensitive. The first sign of excitotoxin is a headache. Excitotoxins are damaging our nervous system and causing untold health problems. Not only that, they do exactly the opposite of what they are intended to do. Instead of reducing our desire for sugary items, they just create a vicious craving cycle which tells our brain….”more sweets please!”

Children are at risk the most

Children are most susceptible to chemical poisoning at the ages of 3-13 because their systems are developing. Excitotoxins are neurotoxins which everyone is allergic to, although children and the elderly may have more of a reaction than others. Children who constantly consume excitotoxins frequently develop endrocrine or neurological problems, and compromised immune systems. These changes are usually subtle and not recognized until later in life in the form of uncontrolled violence, complex learning problems and diseases of the endocrine system or immune system. Does anyone besides me notice that kids have more ADD issues and even diabetes?

Widely used excitotoxins to avoid

Several excitotoxins which are most widely used and are poisoning you and your children include: MSG, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, aspartame, natural flavoring (which is really not natural, but that is a whole other topic) and artificial flavors, as well as some bread conditioners and preservatives also.

The point here is that there are many other choices for your family. Select foods which have only recognizable ingredients in the list so that you are getting real food. Avoid excitotoxins for you and for your kids sake!
