Goji Berry Benefits | How and Why I Eat Them

- In this video I explain several of the most significant health benefits of goji berry. Goji berries are a berry native to Asia that have grown in popularity in recent years and have been labeled a “superfood” by many health advocates. Goji berries have A LOT of benefits due to their nutritional density, but in this video I mainly focus on the benefits to our eyesight, our kidney and liver function as well as our immune system. They are great also for holistic health practices, meaning they can improve your general quality of life, such as increasing happiness, as demonstrated in this study: www.liebertpub...
The goji berries I typically buy: amzn.to/2O2l3m7
Goji berry provides a specific antioxidant called Zeaxanthin that helps eyesight. Additionally, containing a huge array of antioxidants and other health-promoting micronutrients have made goji berries well-known in traditional Chinese Medicine to be supporters of kidney and liver function. Further, their high amounts of vitamins A & C make them a great immune system booster too. These great goji berry benefits are what I cover in the video and are only scratching the surface.
Goji berry has received some flak recently in health news, ever since Proposition 65 in California has mandated that all packaged foods that potentially contain heavy metals be labeled with warnings. This has resulted in goji berry, cacao, maca root, sea vegetables, various fish and many other foods to receive warning labels. However, their high antioxidant content make them extremely powerful for detox and negates the heavy metal concern, at least in my opinion. Don't dodge this superfood just because they have the potential to pick up lead from the soil they're grown in.
Stay tuned for more superfood episodes, and of course, awesome home fitness vlogs and tutorials!

I boiled goji berries together with few slices of lemon, apple & dates! like a tea! its super good
I like doing research on goji berries
You can eat cilantro for helping to relieve heavy metals from your system.
And spirulina
I think water crest too
I add Goji berries into my hot pot, soups, and tea. They give me an energy boost.
Can't wait for wheatgrass, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, etc, nice work!!, love the new series!!!
I make Goji Berry tea by simply boiling the berries in the water. It has this great fragrance and a bit of natural sweetness.
Chinese people think this is good for body and because it's low in calories, you can take it and replace high sugar juice.
Will it help in loosing weight ???
@@harikavarma5007 No, not directly. But for me, by taking more water with flavor, such as herbal tea or coffee, I snack less.
@@xinelee6873 so we have to take it with more of water
Do you use fresh goji berries or dried ones
I make my oatmeal with them. Oatmeal, Kefir (probiotic), protein powder, chia seeds, brown flax seeds, cinnamon powder and water. Stir to combine (protein powder is mixed) and add to the fidge. COuple of hours later ready and tasty (I prefer it cold)
Great recipe! But cold oatmeal? Not my thing, except when added to a fruit smoothie.
@@-johnny-deep- Well, it's almost like chocolate pudding :)
@@JohnDemetriou Hmm. I guess I can see that. Is your protein powder chocolate flavored? And if not, you could add cocoa or cacao powder too.
@@-johnny-deep- chocolate flavoured. I switched it lately though. Chocolate flavoured whey protein, one slice banana, oat flakes, kefir and cinnamon powder. Mix it well. Chocolate and banana is the only thing I can taste and smell the cinnamon :)
Thank you so much for this video. I have one goji Berry plant in my garden covered with ripe and unripe fruits. I will go and harvest now and start consuming as required. 😊

I love your content and admire your role as a dad. Greetings from Bolivia
Pd:Can you upload recipes for pre/after workout? Please pretty please
Reasonable advice and great info!
We get headboards at our warehouse that have that cancer warming too, nice vid, I gotta get some to try
The wheatgrass video would be greatly appreciated, and your videos have been nildly useful in opening my perceptions (vegetable soup) and having well constructed outlines (pistol video). Please continue, and good luck with your family. 🍀
🙏 Goji Berries are good for keeping our Stem Cells healthy! 🌷🌿
My parents bought a couple goji vines last year, and this year they produced enough fruit so that I thought I'd try it. I don't know how many others have had this experience with goji berries fresh from the vine, but mine is that after a second or two I'd get this wonderful sweet flavor, followed a second later by what I can best describe as a mild, minty bite that lasts for a split second. I like mint, so that aftertaste is more encouraging to me than anything else. However, I have found that the minty after taste comes more quickly and stronger when I eat two berries at a time. So, I like to eat them one at a time.
for the Chinese the most popular way to use them is we throw them in the soup pot and make soup with pork bones and some other ingredients.
This lady should be making the video lol. Everything he said was boring
@@AtradiesIncThat's why you also have a TH-cam channel, perhaps you can teach us how to incorporate goji berries in food!
@@eaglelensforemay7503 NOPE not my area of expertise
Thank you! A wheatgrass and seamoss video would be fantastic!
Hello. Just subscribed 😁👏👏 I was curious about goji berries that I saw on an Instagram post. I googled it and saw you so I clicked and loved your clip. Thank you!🤙🇵🇼💙
I like goji berries toooooo.I am Malaysian,But i speak chinese.And Goji berries are sweet~~~
I saw some goji berries at Walmart while I was looking for chia seeds after doing some goji & watching videos about it I'm going to buy some.
"Nutritionist" can be added to Johnny Sin's CV.
I guess it’s safe to say they are not good for hair growth
Maybe he has a giant bush though……
How many goji berries should you eat in one day ? Ounce
We call it gookija in Korea😺 My mom used to make tea with it. I used to drink a lot when I was young because I caught a cold almost every year😂😂😂
Thank you sir, for explaining origion of berries n its benefits
Mmm goji berries are tasty, but expensive. Did you know you can grow them at home? I'm in Utah and had a goji berry bush growing.
Merlyn Hall I didn't know that, but that's awesome. Thanks! I really want to try them fresh.
@@MinusTheGym Honestly I think they taste better dry, but it's fun to grow food.
First time eating goji berry, and it taste terrible.....🤢🤮
Edit:(dried)
@@souleater1466 i agree, it has a peculiar taste 🤢 but it s good ford the body haha
I got a Gogi berry plant from Starks nursery and it has done well in West Texas. The plant is very hardy. In its 4th year now and it produced enough berries to last me at least through the winter. I make tea with them and put in salads. I now plan to use in soups after reading some of the comments.
I was having liver discomfort after consume some red meat like beef, then I give the fructus lycium (goji berry) a shot, soak them in a tea cup with hot water and drink it and I was relieved, and I def wanna do this more often especially if I had high fat meal
I planted a Goji plant some years ago. That thing produces an unbelievable amount of fruit and has grown quite large. The problem is, I don’t care for the berries and no one I know does.
I tied the bush up with a rope and ripped it out with my truck. Three years in a row now and it won’t go away!
I just dumped them into my lemonade to rehydrate them. They are too tough in dry form by themselves. They also stick to the molars really hard. So much better hydrated.
Warfarin is a blood thinner and Goji Berries are also a blood thinner. When I was having heart surgery I was on warfarin for the surgery and shortly afterward. They wanted a list of all the supplements I was on and you would be surprised at how many supplements warfarin interacts with. But if you are on warfarin, doctors don't want you to eat spinach or a lot of other leafy green vegetables because they contain vitamin K1, which thickens your blood. Interestingly K2 is fine. So if you're on a blood thinner then notify your doctor that you're going to start taking Goji Berries so that they can dial your prescription meds down.
I am looking forward to getting fit
I am diabetic
@@heatherarmstrong2801 - Type 2? If you're Type 2 diabetic then there are so many things you can do to reverse that condition. I've been on this road to recovery and reversal for several years and so I can tell you from experience, freedom requires eternal vigilance. Cut out added sugar first. Move on to eating fewer meals in a day. Get down to one meal per day and then watch what you eat at that meal. Start with protein and then in 20 or 30 minutes move on to the carbohydrate portion. Supplement with Berberine and D-Ribose. In less than 6-months, your sugar will be under control and you'll be off Metformin. Consider taking Chromium and Vanadium supplements too.
Goji berries are amazing,yes! Have you seen a video called goji berries blood effect? It's very revealing...
Love this food series! Do you have a background in nutrition or just personal training?
Nick De Leon I'm a certified personal trainer. Although nutrition was a part of that education, most of my nutrition knowledge comes from independent study. I am considering doing a nutrition specialist program through eCornell, though.
Goji berries made my pancreas and kidneys hurt. I only ate a small amount. I think It was the lectins in it. I wish I knew this information before 😞. I'm still having the pain. It scared the life out of me. I'm glad it works for some people, but it didn't work for me.
I eat it goji like a chips it helps my visions improve i have RP and it improves step by step. I love goji Berry ❤❤❤
I put them in my tea.
Sea moss and this together is what I eat god damn it’s amazing
High energy wavelength... E=hv or put plainly, the energy of a single photon equals Plank's constant multiplied by the frequency of light. So which high energy wavelength do goji berries affect? Ultraviolet wavelengths have the highest energy towards the beginning of the visible spectrum which starts around 380nm-400nm depending on who you talk to. Our eyes can only see from ~380nm to about 750nm depending on who you talk to. So I'm curious which wavelength region goji berries affect in our ocular photopic response?
I add them to a bowl of yoghurt, berries and home made granola
Yes more videos like this; thanks.
Very well said 👏🏻
Ya, goji berries are yum yum too
Thank you! God bless!!
thought this was Johnny Sins.
😂😂😂😂😂
It is Johnny sins
About heavy metals, interesting. Thanks!
how does it taste? is it sweet like raisins? or semi sweet like cranberries? or
Slightly tart, not as tart as cranberry. No where near as sweet as raisins
@@gellotion thanks
And they are nice and chewy☺
I am eating a mix of goji dried berries, cashew nuts, almonds, pumpkin and walnuts and watching this video...
One channel says they’re really bad the other channel says they’re really good which channel do we believe which channel is correct
Beautiful shiny head man! Congrats
The benefits of goji berries are awesome, but warfarin is not diabetic or blood pressure medication! Please edit your video!
do you think concentrated extract from wolfberry plant 1000mg is a good substitute for fresh berries?
no..especially if alcohol extract..nutribullet is best ..
Apparently they don’t work for hair growth
I just want to know if they taste good............................................................................................
SON. =. Thank you for your wonderful video. !!!
Your beauty is almost overwhelming. ❤
TheCostaRio thank you :)
Is Goji berries is different from berberine?
Thanks for the information.
Great video.
Video on detoxing heavy metals would be cool.
Chlorella and/or cilantro to pull heavy metals into your GI tract, which must be followed with Activated Charcoal about an hour later to bind with the heavy metals so they don't get reabsorbed into your blood through your intestinal wall.
Read up on this, there are more details to be aware of. Also look into the Niacin sauna protocol.
I would NOT trust this guy's info alone on heavy metals. First of all the goji berries I have in front of me with a prop65 warning label are Not from California. They're grown in China.
He also says he eats goji berries regularly, then says he's not worried about heavy metals because it's not a problem unless you eat them regularly. Which he does. So it's a problem.
Also, the fact that heavy metals are prevalent in so many types of fish does not mean you should ignore the warnings, it means you should limit your consumption of those types of fish!
Nice guy, not great info.
Thank you I like your advise 👏
Great Video!
Do you know if Goji berry powder have the same exact nutritional benefits? Or is some of that taken out of them?
I love snacking on gogi berries!
thanks for info
Good video! 👍
was going to buy these at the grocer the other night but the price was a bit much. im going to give them a try in my morning musili
I've love gogi berries they are so healthy for you.
❤❤❤ 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. Great video! 😃
their good for kidneys.
I just recently heard of goji berries so I bought a 2 lb. bag from Amazon. They arrived today. I was expecting something bitter, tart, or overly earthy tasting. So, I tried one. Then another one. Not really... a handful. Then another handful. I should probably order more right now because this 2 lb. bag ain't gonna last very long. So, you say they're healthy? Cooler yet! 🍒🍒🍒🤤
Literally chomping on Goji berries as I watch this video
Is Goji berries ok for Type 2 diabetes?
Got mine at costco.
“Those are one of my favorite nuts”😂😂 the pause he did at the end he knew what he was doing😂
Thanks
I iuwst opened the goji berries bag, and they’re very dry and crispy lol is this how they are meant to be??
Did you know your can buy dried goji berries at Chinatown. I use goji to help nourish my eyes. Does it help? YES. I'm typing this comment without eyeglasses.
Can we grow these in England?😊
have you heard of ningxia red from young living? it’s a really incredible source of goji berries from the Ningxia region in china! definitely worth looking into. ☺️
宁夏 在 那里
How to order sir?
I also bought goji berries which are organic but when I soaked them in water it started leaving red colour . Is it normal or are they food colour treated??
Normal! No one would eat colour treated berries... At least I hope 😊
Thanks ❤❤❤
I take 2 drops once a day of LUGOL 5%, to remove all the toxins, heavy metal and pesticides from my metabolism. I was really ill and in 1 week after taking Lugol 5% I was fine.
I bought Goji Berries but it tastes a little bitter?! I was wondering if that how is supposed to taste?

I didn't hear any thing about Gogi berries raising Testosterone levels.
Thank you. I just brought a goji plant for my garden. My direction say it not edible. I hope they meant the plant not the berries.
I eat these berries every day.
nice
Thank you. Great info. I put 10g of Moringa powder in my smoothie every morning. Do you have any thoughts on Moringa?
I just started taking Moringa I like it but sometimes when I drink the powder which I mix with water it upsets my stomach
How about a nice goji berry juice or water or salad topping or something that would freaking amazing not nuts in your face
What are the health benefits again besides the Chinese use them?
What the health benefits of wheat grass
Oh man, too many to list here. Wheat grass has nearly all the minerals and amino acids, plus the high chlorophyll content makes it very cleansing for our blood. Many other benefits though. Look up Ann Wigmore if you want to learn all the benefits of wheatgrass juice. She was a Lithuanian woman from the early/mid 1900’s who really popularized wheat grass for its incredible nutrition.
