Patients with coronary artery hardening can appropriately steep or stew goji berries in water or soup. Goji berry is a commonly used traditional Chinese herb known for nourishing the liver and kidneys and improving eyesight. It is often used to treat physical discomfort caused by yin deficiency of the liver and kidneys. For patients with coronary artery hardening, moderate consumption of goji berries will not worsen the condition nor have other adverse effects on health.
