【Benefits of Goji Berries】
1. Goji berries have a sweet and neutral nature. According to traditional Chinese medicine, they can nourish the liver and kidneys, nourish the essence, improve vision, and enhance immune function. For modern people, the most practical benefits of goji berries are anti-fatigue and blood pressure reduction.
In addition, goji berries can protect the liver, lower blood sugar, soften blood vessels, and reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. They have certain therapeutic effects on patients with fatty liver and diabetes. Clinical studies have also shown that goji berries can treat chronic kidney failure.
2. Goji berry polysaccharides have a protective effect on experimental liver damage, reducing serum alanine aminotransferase levels and promoting liver repair. Wang Deshan conducted research on the relationship between goji berries and the effect of blood lipid reduction in experimental hyperlipidemic mice. The results showed that goji berries can inhibit the deposition of fat in liver cells and promote liver cell regeneration.
3. Regular consumption of goji berries can also improve skin absorption of oxygen and have a whitening effect, which many people are unaware of.
