The goji berry is a kind of small bright orange-red berry, also known as wolf berry, mainly grows in The Himalayas, Tibet and China. It comes from a shrub that’s native to China. The name ‘Goji’ comes from its Tibetan origin. Throughout Asia, goji berries have been eaten for generations in the hopes of living longer. Antioxidants in the gojis also help people look younger even in the old age. Nowadays goji berries have gained international popularity beyond its Tibetan origin. Over time, goji berries are used tried to treat numerous common health problems like fever, diabetes, age-related eye problems, and high blood pressure. Goji berries are consumed raw, cooked or dried (like raisins) and are used in juices, wines, teas, and medicines. 



Research shows that eating berries like acai berries, blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, and cherries provide definite health benefits. And goji berries are enriched with antioxidants, especially carotenoids such as zeaxanthin and beta-carotene. These antioxidants are helpful for keeping strong and healthy. Zeaxanthin protects the retina of our eyes by absorbing blue light and acting as an antioxidant. Moreover, increased intake of foods containing zeaxanthin reduces the probability of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the cause of eye-sight loss and blindness in people over the age of 65.
