Are you getting enough quality sleep? Many experts recommend 7 to 9 hours daily, and even more for growing kids. And yet, more than 60 million people in the United States experience sleep-related complaints.

“People who sleep well, in general, are happier and healthier,” said National Sleep Foundation CEO Richard Gelula in a 2005 interview. “But when sleep is poor or inadequate, people feel tired or fatigued, their social and intimate relationships suffer, work productivity is negatively affected, and they make our roads more dangerous by driving while sleepy and less alert.”Poor sleep can also have serious long-term health consequences. An important recent U.S. Government study has established a link between inadequate sleep and the development of chronic diseases and conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression.

How can you help yourself to better sleep quality? Experts recommend the following:

  1. Avoid large meals, caffeine, or alcohol within 2 hours of bedtime.
  2. Get regular exercise to reduce stress hormones, but not within 3 hours of bedtime.
  3. Sleep at a regular time every night and try to avoid late-afternoon naps.
  4. Stop working at any task at least 1 hour before retiring to calm mental activity.
  5. Minimize light and noise in the bedroom to facilitate the body’s natural release of the sleep hormone melatonin.
  6. Drink 2-4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi every day!

GoChi – Clinical Study Participants Report Better Quality of Sleep

For countless generations, the goji berry has been helping the people of Asia find healthful, restful sleep. No goji product is more potent than FreeLife’s GoChi, and now its benefits for sleep have been clinically demonstrated. In a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trial, participants drinking a daily serving of just 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi reported significant improvement in sleep quality in as little as 14 days! This groundbreaking clinical study has been published in the highly regarded Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM), and it can also be viewed on the U.S. Government’s encyclopedic PubMed website at www.pubmed.gov. The acceptance of our study by the independent experts of a peer-reviewed publication such as JACM represents a first for a functional juice beverage in the Direct Sales industry, and it demonstrates FreeLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting its claims with solid scientific research.

Regarding GoChi and Goji Juice - How to Take.

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I’m often asked how much GoChi Juice or Goji to take. Well I typically
respond with take 2- 4 ounces and taking it in two doses instead of all at once is preferred.
However, here is a technique recently discovered and recommended by Chief Product Officer Rick Handel.
GoChi Juice poured in glass
his technique is to take 2 ounces of GoChi mixed with 4- 6 ounces of water. Then drinking this over the next 1 - 10 minutes.

We’ve found that mixing the GoChi Juice with water seems to greatly enhance the effectiveness of the GoChi Goji Juice. In fact in the words of one gentleman “it makes the GoChi Juice like Liquid Rocket Fuel”.

What I personally have noticed is that mixing it in the water seems to work better than immediately drinking the water after drinking the GoChi Goji juice straight.

Your body tends to readily absorb water upon drinking so what we think is happening is that the GoChi juice somehow is mixing with the water in such a way that more of it is being absorbed by the body. And it is being absorbed faster.

Personally I noticed more of the following when taking it in this fashion:

  • A sense of quiet calm.
  • More sustained energy throughout the day - feeling less tired.
  • More ability to focus mentally.
  • Even better sleep.

This is no real surprise as these are results documented in the first GoChi Juice
Peer Reviewed study. The one that will be publised in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM) this summer. Check out this GoChi Juice Goji study - Click Here.
