STRONG CONSCIOUSNESS

Dear readers.

This week, due to popular demand, I’m dedicating my column to a very special food: goji berries. In fact, now’s the perfect time to discuss this topic. Schools have reopened, and the contribution of goji berries to children’s learning, short-term memory, and recall functions is now well-known. Considering that this food has significant positive effects on healthy living, both psychologically and physiologically, I believe we can see how broad the field of physiological psychology is and the immense responsibilities that fall upon us as parents. However, understanding these responsibilities requires strong awareness.

I’m sure your excitement will increase as you read on. Let’s begin then. Dear friends, goji berries are known worldwide as the plant of immortality. I’m only listing thirty-five of their most effective benefits; you can decide the rest yourselves. Goji berries prolong your life. They increase energy and endurance. You’ll look and feel younger. They lower your blood pressure. They balance blood sugar, which is crucial for fat burning. Because they convert fat into energy, they are effective in weight control. They provide healthy cholesterol levels. They protect against cancer. They increase sexual potency in both men and women. They provide effective, deep sleep. They eliminate headaches and dizziness. They strengthen the heart. They clarify your vision. They prevent the peroxidation of fats. They increase your resistance to diseases. They make the immune system more effective. They fight cancer. They protect our precious DNA. They slow down tumor growth. Please pay attention here; they alleviate the negative effects of chemotherapy and radiation. They provide strong blood values. They increase your lymphocyte count. They fight joint inflammation. They prevent morning sickness in the first three months of pregnancy. It prevents menopausal symptoms. It supports your liver. It is used in the treatment of infertility in both men and women and increases fertility. It strengthens your muscles and bones. It relieves chronic dry cough. It reduces stress. It activates happiness hormones. It facilitates digestion. It helps with dental health. And, as always, I saved the most important one for last.

Dear friends, goji berries possess a very important characteristic beyond the benefits we’ve mentioned, both for ourselves and our children. This effect is so significant that, let alone these thirty-five basic benefits, goji berries are worth consuming just for this reason. Now, hold on tight. Goji berries contain a substance called betaine. The moment we eat goji berries, this substance is converted into choline in our bodies, significantly affecting memory and recall functions in the brain. All you have to do is try it. First, try it on yourself and see the difference. See how your memory improves, how you learn and understand faster, and how your memorization skills change surprisingly. Now imagine your school-aged children consuming this fruit. This means that our children will be much more successful, active, dynamic, energetic, and positive in subjects like multiplication tables, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and all subjects based on numerical data. Do you want them to be energetic all day long, always online and intelligent in terms of brain function? So, as soon as you wake up in the morning, consume a small handful of goji berries, two real Baghdad dates, and some cold water with your children. See what happens afterwards. I tried it. Your day will be much happier, more dynamic, and more productive. With these invaluable foods, which you can’t find anywhere else and may be hearing about for the first time, you will lead a fitter, more athletic, and healthier life.

You can find this food at herbalist shops or places that sell dried fruit. Our children can consume goji berries from elementary school age onwards. I believe that we can raise awareness among generations who are more intelligent, have higher comprehension and learning abilities, with information like this. Of course, for this, we first need parents and teachers who read, explore, and are curious. Next week, I want to discuss hormones, the orchestra of our bodies, and the conductors of this orchestra.

Stay healthy and with love.
