Also known as wolfberries, Goji berries are a food supplement — an extremely nutrient-dense fruit. They contain 18 amino acids (six times higher than bee pollen) including all 8 essential amino acids. They contain 11.7% protein, and 328 calories per 100g!

The Goji berry is a deep-red, dried fruit about the same size as a raisin.  It’s very sweet and tastes something like a cross between a cranberry and a cherry. We love adding them to smoothies, trail-mix, cereals, teas and cakes. Err… we also just eat them by the handful!

Nutritional Information

Goji berries contain up to 21 trace minerals (the main ones being zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus) and are the richest source of carotenoids, including beta-carotene (more beta carotene than carrots), of all known foods or plants on earth!

Goji also contain vitamins B1, B2, B6, and vitamin E.

Mature fruits contain about 11 mg or iron per 100 grams, beta-sisterol (an anti-inflammatory agent), linoleic acid (a fatty acid), sesquiterpenoids (cyperone, solavetivone), tetraterpenoids (zeaxanthin, physalin), and betaine (0.1%).

Goji berries contain polysaccharides which fortify the immune system. A polysaccharide found in this fruit has been found to be a powerful secretagogue (a substance that stimulates the secretion of rejuvenative human growth hormone by the pituitary gland).

Benefits

Goji has been traditionally regarded as a longevity, strength-building, and sexual potency food of the highest order. In several study groups with elderly people the berry was given once a day for 3 weeks, many beneficial results were experienced and 67% of the patients T cell transformation functions tripled and the activity of the patients white cell interleukin-2 doubled. In addition, the results showed that all the patients spirit and optimism increased significantly, appetite improved in 95% of the patients, 95% of the patients slept better, and 35% of the patients partially recovered their sexual function.

Production

The plants grow like bushes with vines that reach over 15 feet. The berries are never touched by hand as they will oxidize and turn black if touched while fresh. They are shaken onto mats, and then dried in the shade. These berries are grown without pesticides or other chemicals in one of the purest places on earth.

Do you own an air purifier, if not, there is a good chance that you would be interested in owning one in the future, if you aren’t already interested. That is because air purifiers are rapidly increasing in popularity. Why you may ask? Air Purifiers are rapidly increasing in popularity because they make indoor air healthier and cleaner. This means that by owning an air purifier, your home or your office space could become a pleasant place to be, instead of an unhealthy or an unpleasant place.

When it comes to air purifiers, despite the fact that they are popular, there are still many individuals who wonder whether or not they should get one. This is because many individuals wonder whether or not Air Purifiers are actually worth the buy. Are you one of those individuals? If so, you may be in for the surprise of your life. That is because, in most cases, air purifiers are not only a good buy, but they could also be considered quite a deal.

When buying an air purifier, you need to examine the overall cost of an air purifier. The overall cost of owning an air purifier isn’t just the price that you pay at the store; it is the price overtime. With many air purifiers, you are required to change the filter every few months. This ups the cost of an air purifier. For that reason, you are advised to examine the cost of a replacement filter, before making your purchase. If you are concerned with the cost of a replacement filter, you will want to examine Air Purifiers that do not use filters, just collection grids. These types of air purifiers may cost more money, upfront, but they could end up saving you money, in the long run.

It is also important to examine what you will be using your air purifier for. A large number of individuals use air purifiers if they have pets or if they have a smoker inside the house. Unfortunately, not all air purifiers are designed to remove these types of particles from the air. Therefore, if you plan on using an air purifier for smoke or for pets, you are advised to thoroughly read the descriptions of each air purifier that you are interested in buying. Buying the wrong type of air purifier can turn an otherwise good purchase into one that is definitely not worth the buy.

By keeping the above mentioned points in mind, you should be able to find and purchase the air purifier that best fits your needs and the needs of your household. This is, in turn, will make your next air purifier purchase definitely worth the buy.

There are a ton of places out there to check your PageRank. But a cool tool is PageRankr. Most page ranking sites you just insert your URL and you get a read out of your Google PageRank. But at PageRankr not only do you get a Google PR from it, you also get your Alexa ranking, if your URL is DMOZ listed as well as backlinks in the top 3 Search Engines(Google, MSN and Yahoo). It also tells you how many indexed pages you have for your URL as well.

If you have a website, there are probably many reasons why you want to have as many visitors as it can be. Maybe for making money through advertisements, selling products or just because you have important things to say and want people read about you. Of course, the more interesting and original content in your pages, the more people will want to watch it and more visitors will come. However, you need to help your website get into the stream by building links from other websites. Many “quality” links pointing to your website will allow more people to find it, and a very important factor, the search engines such as Google, Yahoo Search and MSN Live will find their way to your website. This is a fundamental issue because search engines are usually very important sources of visitors, and most relevant, sources of “targeted visitors”.

Submitting a website to web directories is a very popular an effective way to build links and improve the position your website appear at a search engine results page. Many directories accept submissions for free, and after a short period of review, a link to your website will show up in a specific category page. One caveat is that the strongest directories charge very expensive fees to get listed (sometimes about $70), and that is just for a year. Good free directories usually list thousands of websites, so once your submission is accepted, your link will probably appear at a very low position, several pages inside the structure of the directory, making difficult for the search engines to find it.

A new kind or web directories named bidding links directories, or auction-style web directories constitute a good alternative for this ‘links overcrowding” in traditional directories. In these, the position of a given link is not determined by “first come first served”. Instead, those links with the higher bids are the ones to go up. There is a minimum bid you have to place in order to get listed. It is usually $1, and it will entitle your link to appear just below the last link with a 1$ bid. If you want to get listed upper, just raise your bid. If you bid $2, your link will go above the top 1$ link. The good thing is that you can raise your bids at any time, and boost your link up in case they were outranked by too many other links.

Most bidding links directories are still pretty new, so there is plenty of chances to get listed at good positions for cheap. For bast value for your links, make sure you don’t miss Burndirectory.com, a bidding links directory that will bring lots of interested visitors to your website.
