By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jason_Main]Jason Main

In spite of the fact that the world has gone high-tech, there remain things, which prove that people are still in touch with traditions. On a closer look at the products in the market today, there is an abundance of evidences that people have not entirely relinquished what could be viewed as somewhat historical ideas that are outside the boundaries of what's scientific and new.

If you are not convinced with this impression, take a look at the highly marketed products today and you would see a lot of herbs, fruits and other naturally abundant things that are being promoted for their health benefits. It is undeniable that these products are receiving warm consideration and many people who are after a healthy lifestyle and a sound manner of taking care of themselves purchase them.

One of these products is the goji berries. These are exotic fruits sourced out from several Asian countries such as China, Mongolia and Tibet. One would still not see a US-based or homegrown goji berry up to this time, but these fruits are available in the US markets both in dried and juice forms.

The berries are claimed to be high in essential nutrients that could promote defense against cancers and boost the immune system for a better resistance against common illnesses.

Goji berries are used in the ancient Chinese art of medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine includes adding these berries to congee or as an ingredient for making tea and other extracts. Some of the claimed benefits attached with the fruits are a boost to the immune system, improvement of the eyesight, inhibition of the oxidizing reactions of the free radicals to avoid cancer, improved sexual health, among others. Although there are no extensive researches to ground these claims, one cannot undermine the fact that historically, people have survived with the traditional use of this fruit as alternative care. Further, because the fruit's products are quite natural, one can expect an intake of lesser amount of artificial preservatives, which contain chemicals considered to be harmful to the body.
