Dr. Shen Yonghua
Main effects of drinking goji berry-infused water:
1. Nourish yin and benefit the kidneys: Goji berries act on the kidney meridian and can nourish kidney yin and replenish kidney essence, helping to alleviate symptoms such as soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, and fatigue in individuals with kidney yin deficiency or kidney essence deficiency.
2. Nourish the liver and improve vision: Various components in goji berries offer protective effects on the liver by nourishing liver blood. Since the liver governs the eyes, drinking goji berry-infused water can significantly improve symptoms such as blurred vision and dry eyes.
3. Enhance immunity: Goji polysaccharides can regulate immune function and enhance the phagocytic capacity of macrophages, thereby strengthening the body's immunity and helping prevent illnesses such as the common cold.
4. Anti-aging: Antioxidants in goji berries, such as vitamin E and selenium, help eliminate free radicals in the body, reduce cellular damage, and delay the aging process.
5. Protect cardiovascular health: Goji berry-infused water can also lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, benefiting cardiovascular health.
Diabetic patients should control their intake to avoid affecting blood sugar levels; individuals with weak spleen and stomach should also avoid excessive consumption to prevent indigestion.
