Blueberries, strawberries, cherries, cranberries, mulberries, raspberries and blackberries to name just a few of the obvious ones, and then there are the super-berries like: goji berries, acai and others and all are turning out to have remarkable health benefits.

New studies are showing that berries contain unique phyto-chemicals that may help to prevent cancer, heart disease, age-related declines and much, much more. It would make sense to enjoy them as often as you can, however, for most of us this is not going to be often enough. That’s because the greatest health benefits come with consistent, regular use of a wide variety of berries. It is with regular use that come the greatest benefits, this means eating 1 to 1 ½ cups of mixed berries a day, everyday. So my suggestion is to find a good quality supplement containing berry extracts and eating fresh berries whenever possible.

Goji berry (Fructus Lycii) has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousand of years, and I for me this is a high recommendation, as the Chinese did not pay their doctors to cure them like we do, the village or regions doctors were only paid, by the whole village, for as long as their patients remained well.
