You may wonder what the big deal about glyco nutrients is. After all you are eating a healthy, low fat diet, try to get a little exercise and sleep when you can. What else can you do to keep your energy level up and get through your day? Try adding a little goji juice with your morning coffee and see if your energy level and sense of well being improves.
We all have days when we don’t feel our best but if you have been feeling a little down and out it may give your body what it is lacking glyconutrients. Even if you eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, if you are not growing them yourself they are usually harvested green so they won’t be overly ripe when they get to market. This along with mineral depleted soil from commercial farms keeps the fruits and veggies from being as nutritious as they should be.
Glyconutrients are the eight essential sugars that our body needs to function at its best. We typically only get two of these sugars, glucose, and galactose, in our modern diet. The other six aren’t as readily available. You body must work harder creating the other six through a series of chemical reactions which can zap your energy and leave you feeling fatigued.
An ounce of Goji juice contains glyco nutrients that are required for healthy cell to cell communication which is important in all life processes. The source of goji juice is goji berries from the Lycium shrub. Drinking the glyconutrient rich juice gives you the power of two pounds of berries in every liter of juice. That’s why it takes so little of the goji juice to make a big difference in how you feel. Optimum effects from the goji juice come from drinking about a half a cup of the juice daily, though an ounce a day will benefit the body.
In addition to glyco nutrients goji juice has an abundance of vitamin C and beta carotene known for helping the body stay healthy and fight off illness. Vitamin E, protein, and iron are also found in goji juice, along with B-complex vitamins and essential amino-acids. This power packed little berry can do nothing but good for you!
The proper amount of glyconutrients in the body can help regulate bowel movements and induce more restful sleep with more energy upon awakening. A little glyconutrient filled goji juice can help bring back that feeling of well being that you thought was long gone. Much healthier than taking medicine to induce sleep that leaves you groggy in the morning and much easier on the system than harsh laxatives and medication for depression.
Goji juice is not the cure all for all disease but the glyconutrients help your body stay ready to fight off disease and heal itself as a complement to traditional medicine. If your body is functioning as it should, it is much more prepared to deal with the stresses of everyday life.
