Staying Awake

Saturday, August 30, 2008

How do you get up in the morning? Do you awaken energetic and refreshed, with a clear mind ready to get started on your day? If you do, consider yourself lucky - studies are showing that having difficulty awakening properly in the morning is one of the most common sleep complaints in the world. Grogginess and a powerful urge to roll back over and go back to sleep are strong indicators that you aren't awakening in the recharged, refreshed state that you should be.

Difficulty waking up is often caused by not getting enough sleep - adults need to get between 6 and 8 hours, and teenagers can need up as many as 10 hours. The most common reason, however, is poor quality sleep. Just because you're sleeping doesn't mean it's restful, rejuvenating sleep.

Unfortunately, those who have a difficult time awakening refreshed are subject to several problems. Consequences include being more likely to develop certain diseases including obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease, as well as increased production of stress hormones.

Waking up groggy also increases the chance that you are going to be in a rush in the morning, and that also brings further problems. Thoae who hurry in the morning are most likely to skip breakfast, an important meal that helps to give you energy from the rest of the day. Morning rushers are also more likely to hurt their backs - as fluid accumulates in your spinal chord while your sleep, jumping and running before it has had adequate time to drain puts strain on the back.

If you don't think you're getting the restful sleep you should be, one solution may be to drink GoChi Juice. Recent clinical studies performed on individuals showed that GoChi Juice provided better quality sleep and enabled them awake feeling more rested and refreshed after only 14 days of use.

GoChi Juice: Keeping You Regular

Monday, August 25, 2008

Constipation is the most common gastrointestinal problem in the world. It may not be as immediately serious as other issues, such as ulcers, but studies have shown that constipation, especially when it occurs often, can be a sign of future problems.

Constipation occurs whenever the colon, which absorbs water from food, absorbs too much water or simply moves very slowly. The remaining waste products (stool) then have difficulty moving on and being expelled. While this may seem like a simple inconvenience, having these waste products remain in your digestive tract for extended periods of time is not good for your body.

In addition to a fiber deficiency, constipation is often caused by:

- Medications, pain relievers, and antacids
- Changes in normal life routine, such as travel or pregnancy
- Insufficient water intake
- Lack of physical activity

In order to avoid constipation, it is recommended by the U.S. National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse that you:

- Eat a well-balanced, high fiber diet
- Get regular exercise
- Drink plenty of water and fluids
- Understand that bowel habits are different form person to person, and that yours may vary or change

In addition to this, new clinical studies have also proven that consuming GoChi Juice daily can help improve your regularity, helping you to avoid constipation and preventing harmful waste products form remaining in your digestive system for unsafe periods of time!

GoChi Juice - for Happiness and Contentment

Friday, August 22, 2008

Happiness and contentment - these are two things that every person knows they want. Arguably, they may the "points" of life - to find joy, security, ease of thought, happiness and to be content with our lives. They are certainly some of the most powerful motivators in the world.

The thing about contentment and happiness is that they are different for different people. What makes one person happy may make another miserable. While one person may be completely content with everything they have and are, another may look upon that as incomplete or not enough.

Earning money and things, and improving our lots in life are some of the major ways we seek happiness, but they are nowhere near enough to achieve it completely. Indeed, reaching a state of pure contentment requires much more than physical possessions or a comfortable surrounding - it requires practices such as learning to want the things you have, understanding what you *really* want and desire in life, and knowing that more is not necessarily better.

There is one thing, however, that when improved, improves the happiness of all people, no matter their age, income, or nationality - health. It is difficult to achieve true happiness when our bodies suffer, and finding the blessed contentment in our lives is made much more difficult when we are ourselves internally out of balance. Good health is simply a very important step in reaching complete happiness.

Which is why we recommend that everyone take GoChi Juice daily. Recent clinical studies - now featured in the acclaimed peer-reviewed publishing, The Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicines (JACM) - have shown that the regular consumption of GoChi Juice can improve feelings of happiness and contentment.

It's very simple - improve the body's natural synergy and make it healthier, and you feel those improvements! GoChi Juice is of course not enough by itself to bring you complete and thorough happiness, but scientific studies have proven that it can help you get a little bit closer.

Taste: It Makes A Big Difference

Sunday, August 17, 2008

Better health, no matter how you go about it, is all about forming habits. Whether trying to practice a regular exercise routine or you're shooting for better nutrition, the factor that will decide whether you succeed or fail will be whether or not you can make a habit out of improving your health.

The thing about forming habits is that they usually come automatically. Typically activities that we find fun, entertaining, or desirable are simply repeated until they become habitual, and we do them regularly. It is much more difficult, however, to turn something that we don't enjoy into a habit. We usually have to force ourselves to do them, and this will almost never gain the simple, repetitive effectiveness of a habit. If only we enjoyed the process, it would be so much easier.

This demonstrates the importance of taste in a natural health drink. Making sure to take one every single day requires the formation of a habit - a natural routine you'll simply fall into. This will never happen if the process is not pleasant. If the product tastes bad, people will always find little excuses not to take it, or to take a little less than they should.

With this in mind, we can see why Freelife spent so much time and money making sure that Himalayan Goji Juice and GoChi Juice had a great taste that people would enjoy. It's no secret that natural health drinks typically taste bad - its a reputation that they have gained, and fairly so. In order to break this trend, Freelife put a lot of effort into making sure their product had unrivaled taste. The goji berry itself is not a naturally great-tasting fruit, typically being very strong and bitter. In order to correct for this, Freelife has incorporated small amounts of a few other fruit juices into their drinks. This all comes together to make what most definitively say is the best tasting natural health drink on the market.

The great taste of goji has many benefits. For parents who want to help improve their child's nutrition, they can rest easy in the knowledge that they won't have to fight with their children to get them to take it. When you go to take your daily glass of goji, you won't have to wrinkle your nose and hold your breath as you take it - we're willing to bet that, more often than not, you sneak a little extra in your glass. All of this will help you make taking goji a normal, routine habit, and when you do this, you've taken a great step towards better health.

The Goji Berry: All About The Age

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

For 4,000 years (and counting) people of Eastern Asia have been using the goji berry to improve their health, keep themselves strong and fit, and give them long, fulfilling lives.

In fact, the goji berry has been used longer than any other health fruit - by far. Included in the world's oldest known medical text, it is described as being good for the body and helpful in achieving a long life. We know that some of the world's earliest healers and doctors encouraged regular use of the goji berry, and used them to help keep their patients in good health. To put a good perspective on just how long people have been consuming goji for their health, it has been reportedly tied to the legendary First Emperor of China himself.

In addition to this unprecedented history of use, it has also been used across a large geographic span. Although it is only commercially grown in China, it has seen widespread use all the way from Eastern Europe to the farthest reaches of China and Mongolia, literally for thousands of years. No other health fruit has seen usage this widespread by even a fraction - the use of goji as a health-benefiting food spans completely across the largest continent in the world.

It is also the only health fruit to have been an integral part of a major world society, being used by the Chinese for as long as we have written or oral history about them. It saw frequent and popular use during the dynastic periods of China's history, being prescribed by local doctors to help keep their patients healthy and happy. Instead of only growing in some remote and desolate corner of the world, the goji berry has been championed by a powerful society of individuals who are known for their good health and long life spans. There can hardly be any better or more convincing proof of its powerful ability to improve health - our new scientific clinical studies have only confirmed what millions of people throughout history have already known.

Indeed, historically, those cultures who regularly consume the goji berry tend to have longer lifespans - and many of the cultures in the world with the longest life spans just so happen to be located in areas that have plentiful goji growth! It is no coincidence that Chinese society, which has a reputation as being healthy and having an enviously long lifespan, has championed the goji berry.

Increasing Libido: Health and Nutrition

Saturday, August 9, 2008

Everyone is familiar with "libido" - the natural, physical drive towards sexual activity and stimulation present in humans - but many people are not aware that the libido is an effective "gauge" of a person's health. When a body is healthy and given proper nutrition, it activates the libido and seeks to engage in pro-creative activities. When health is poor, however, the body must focus on other things - such as keeping organs healthy and attempting to get the nutrition it so desperately needs. Indeed, throughout human history libido and fertility have been used to recognize the health, strength, and fitness of an individual

Because of this the most effective and convenient way to boost libido is to improve one's overall health, specifically by providing it with better nutrition. In addition to increasing nearly every positive aspect of the body, optimal health naturally improves one's libido. Many people have reported that activities that increase one's physical condition like jogging, engaging in healthy diets, or taking supplements dramatically increases their libido.

Vitamins are especially good for improving libido thanks to their ability to drastically effect health. Specifically, vitamins E and C work well to improve the functioning of sexual glands and increase both hormone production and improve circulation.

Other substances that can have a significant impact on your sex life are antioxidants, Zinc for proper testosterone production in males, Folic acid for maintaining the health of sexual organs, and Selenium for increased sexual drive.

All of these are specific ingredients that have been linked to one or more aspects of the libido, and while they are incredibly effective, they are not the only things that can help increase your sex drive. The important link for you to make is the correlating relationship between physical health and libido, and anything you can do or eat to improve your health will in turn improve your libido.

Are You Happy?

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

People are always searching for happiness in things - whether it's a new car, a bigger house, a more perfect lawn, or the nicest clothes, we tend to think of happiness as something that is bought instead of something that is had. This is partly due to the fact that every major advertising campaign is dependent on convincing you that, with their product, you can be happy.

Another major issue affecting our curious "search for happiness" is the fact that most people aren't genuinely happy - whether it's because we're surrounded by stress or worry or a lack of energy, the average person would probably describe their life as "bearable" to "average" on the scale of happiness.

Why is this? One big reason could be health. Our happiness is directly tied to our body - if it is in good condition, our mind is free to be as happy as it can be. If our body is suffering, then so does our happiness. Low energy, irritability, bad moods, shortness of temper, and a negative outlook can all be attributed to a poor diet and general unhealthiness.

If you want to improve your health and your happiness, there's nothing more effective you can do than drink GoChi Juice. In fact, in recent human clinical trials, those who consumed GoChi Juice regularly reported significantly increased feelings of happiness in as little as 14 days. This is probably because, other than increasing overall health, GoChi Juice is scientifically proven to give increased energy, improved sleep, and improved mental clarity and focus. Ask yourself - if you had better health, were getting better sleep, and were experiencing more energy throughout the day with a better ability to focus and think, would you be happier?

Be More Energized Naturally!

Friday, August 1, 2008

Energy is everything - it's what drives you. From the moment you wake up to the moment you lay your head back down on the pillow your energy levels will dictate how you feel, how you react to events and stress in your environment, and how well you will perform tasks.

Since energy is obviously so important, it's not surprising why many people seek to improve their energy in at least a dozen unhealthy ways, such as coffee, sugar-laden foods or caffeine-rich energy drinks. The sad part about it is that none of these things can improve your energy - at best they only give you a "boost" that will help get you through the next several hours.

Not only is this unhealthy, it also isn't very effective. As soon as that coffee works its way out of your system you're going to be tired again, and the only solution will be another cup. It's not very hard to see how this can lead to a very dangerous cycle that can wreak havoc on your body, harm your health, and by doing so, decrease your overall energy levels.

If you want proof, just take a little look at exactly how caffeine works. Have you ever wondered how it can give you such a strong energy boost? The process is fairly simple - when ingested into the bloodstream caffeine causes a random and uncontrolled firing sequence of neurons in the brain. This neuron firing signals your pituitary gland to secrete a special hormone that in turn triggers the adrenal glands to produce adrenalin and deposit it into your bloodstream. Adrenalin puts your body in a powerful "fight-or-flight" mode, increasing muscle activity, heart rate, and blood pressure. The effect is designed to give you a boost of energy for times when you are in danger - but when it happens while you're simply sitting at a desk, it only puts undue stress on your body and slowly trashes your health, as well as putting you at risk for several future health complications.

In addition, caffeine is also a mildly addictive substance. If you don't think you are currently, or ever could be addicted to the drug, you may want to think again. Stephen Cherniske, MS, writes in his book Caffeine Blues: "Careful research conducted by the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine shows that low to moderate caffeine intake (as little as one 14-ounce mug per day) can quickly produce withdrawal symptoms."

If that doesn't sound like a good way to go, you need to understand that the only way to improve your energy levels is by doing it naturally, and by improving your health. This doesn't mean signing up for an Olympic swim team or running eight miles a day - no, better health is most easily achieved through better nutrition. After all, how can you expect your body to have plentiful amounts of energy if the nutrition it is receiving is not energizing? Put simply, it can't. Energy comes from the fuel that you feed your body, and if it isn't receiving the natural things that it needs to build energy, it just won't happen.

The market for the "energy drink" has been created because people do not take care of themselves - the only problem is that most energy drinks will actually add to the problem. We've established that poor energy is the result of poor nutrition, yet the way most energy drinks achieve an energy boost is by being filled to the brim with various sugars and caffeine. This is destructive, and the reason why most so-called "energy" drinks are truly mis-labeled products.

So what if you want a real energy drink? Something that will improve your total energy levels so that you have energy day after day, hour after hour with no crashes, burns, lows, or future caffeine and sugar-related health problems? If that's what you want, then GoChi Juice is your product. It's a completely natural product made from the goji berry which has a powerful, scientifically proven ability to improve your total energy levels. There are no dangerous side effects, and GoChi Juice can be taken by anyone without fear of a dangerous addiction.

Many people are finding the total energy improvement through GoChi Juice to be a life-changing experience. We proudly offer it as a product with the capability to take you off that ritualistic cup of coffee and give you the energy levels you want, day in and day out, making GoChi the Ultimate Energy Drink.
