Victoria Beckham shuns botox in favour of Goji Ber 2 Years, 5 Months ago Karma: 1
Saw this article about Victoria Beckam shunning botox in favour of Goji berries..

www.telegraph.co.uk/health/main.jhtml?xm...8/04/03/hgoji103.xml

I''d heard that Goji berries were supposed to be a ''superfood'' - Apparently they have up to 500 times more Vitamin C than oranges, store linoleic acid which is an essential fat that plumpens up the skin and makes it appear more youthful - But how much of all of this is really just marketing hype?

Why are all the superfoods exotic and cost a fortune - wouldn''t it be great if they classed a good old fashioned granny smith as a superfood, or maybe potatos.....

I reckon most of these superfoods are pretty good for you.. It''s just whether the ''goodness'' warrants the price. And whether you could get the same ''goodness'' from cheaper, less well marketed alternatives.

In saying that I''m a Goji Berry fan.. and also blueberries and broccoli and...

Maybe I''m a sucker but it can''t hurt

I find it difficult to beleive that Becks hasn't had botox..

But on the superfoods topic I heard that eating tomatoes and broccolli at the same time increases the effectiveness of both as a superfood.

The best way to do it is in a sort of ratatoeli (sp?)

But I think you're supposed to eat them raw. Not that keen on raw broc..

Goji berries have been used for thousands of years in China. Legend has it that a monk/hermit lived to over 150 and attributed it to a diet consisting primarily of goji berries..

Goji berries are awesome.. I love them!

'Goji berries have strong antioxidant, anti-ageing and anticancer properties and are used to boost the immune system, improve hearing, eye-sight, and liver function, maintain healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, strengthen bones and tendons, burn fat, build muscle, increase libido, enhance fertility and reduce morning sickness.'

If that doesn't sound like a superfood thane I don't know what is..
