The Legend of Li Ching Yuen

Li Ching Yuen was a master Chinese herbalist who was said to have lived from 1677 to 1933. That's 256 years! The story of his long life was said to be mere folklore until an Imperial Chinese government record was found from 1827, congratulating one Li Ching-Yuen on his 150th birthday.

In addition to his practice of Qigong, an ancient exercise of breathing and movement, Yuen was said to have consumed goji berries daily. When scientists looked into the health properties of goji, they found everything they associate with longevity; an abundance of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and a very special compound that helps the body secret Human Growth Hormone (HGH). Today goji berries are known as one of the world's most powerful anti-aging superfoods.

Benefits	In addition to being a top longevity food, gojis are thought to be the most nutritionally rich fruit on Earth. Gojis contain more iron than spinach, more beta carotene than carrots, and more protein than whole wheat (13%). Gojis are packed with 18 amino acids, eight of which are the essential amino acids, including isoleucine and tryptophan. Plus goji berries are one of the highest antioxidant containing fruits in the world, typically containing 2-4 times the amount found in blueberries. Goji berries are also an excellent source of minerals, such as zinc, iron, copper, calcium and phosphorous, as well as vitamins B1, B2, B6 and E. Gojis contain key nutrients that promote healthy vision, and have been recommended for thousands of years in Chinese medicine to improve eyesight. One of the most fascinating aspects of goji berries is their ability to help the body produce Human Growth Hormone (HGH). The production of HGH is considered by many to be our body's own, internal Fountain of Youth, and decreasing levels of HGH have been linked to accelerated aging. For example, a seventy-year-old produces only one-tenth of the amount of HGH as a twenty-year-old. While fortifying the immune system and helping to stimulate the body to produce more natural Human Growth Hormone, studies with elderly people have shown that these powerful berries can decrease the signs of aging, increase the function of T cells and white cell interleukin-2 while uplifting mood, increasing optimism, improving appetite and encouraging better sleep patterns.
