Goji The Himalayan Health Secret

Book Review

Goji The Himalayan Health Secret by Earl Mindell, R.Ph., M.H., Ph.D

This small book is packed full of valuable information about the little red berry known as goji. Written by one of the world's leading nutritionists, this book has the power to excite both those who have eaten goji berries and those who have not.

I have been eating goji berries for years now, and after reading Earl Mindell's book I feel even better about this choice. The goji berry is one of the most unique and nutrient dense foods on the planet and there is scientific evidence to back up those claims. Earl goes into great detail on this evidence and conclusively shows that goji berries are indeed a superfood with powerful nutritional and health generating properties.

The first section of the book tells the true story of one of the longest lived people in recorded history. His name was Li Qing Yuen and he lived from 1678 to 1930... that is 252 years! Earl mentions that his incredible lifespan has been documented and verified by scholars. As you may have guessed, Li Qing Yuen made it a daily practice to consume goji berries.

The second section of the book covers the different varieties of goji berries and which ones were found to be the most potent. Scientists went through great care to find the "best" goji berries and came up with several criteria for determining those with the highest nutritional and health generating properties.

The last sections of Goji The Himalayan Health Secret talk about goji's unique "master molecules" and how they are affective in assisting with a variety of health conditions. 14 health issues are covered, from allergies to obesity, and how goji berries can assist in the healing process.

I found it interesting to note that Earl says goji juice is the preferred way to consume this berry. While organic dried goji berries are still great, there is nothing that compares to the potency of goji juice. Since valuable water soluble compounds are lost in the drying process through evaporation, drinking the juice of goji can remedy this by ensuring those compounds are still there.

For those of you who have not tried goji berries before, I highly recommend you read Goji The Himalayan Health Secret and see for yourself what has been found out about this amazing superfood. For those that already have been convinced and are eating goji berries, this book can give quality information that you can then share with your friends and family.

My hope is that goji's will no longer be a secret but will be widely revealed as one of the most powerful natural foods on the planet. I am thankful to Earl Mindell for his dedicated service to sharing this information.
