Many office workers like to drink goji berry water, believing it improves eyesight, nourishes the kidneys, and lowers blood sugar. However, experts say that simply drinking goji berry water does not allow for sufficient nutrient absorption. Heat can destroy the vitamins in goji berries, so soaking them in warm water is best.
Goji berries are rich in various trace elements and vitamins, which can nourish yin, protect the eyes, and enhance immunity. For generations, physicians have used goji berries to treat blurred vision and night blindness caused by insufficient liver blood and kidney yin deficiency. Recently, British research has discovered the anti-aging effects of goji berries, but they only have medicinal value when consumed consistently. Drinking goji berry water is the most common method, but most of the vitamins in goji berries are water-soluble and can be easily destroyed by heat. Furthermore, substances like carotene are difficult to fully absorb. It is best to soak them briefly in warm water or chew a few dry berries for better results.
A reminder: goji berries with an alcoholic smell are spoiled and should not be eaten.
