Nowadays, people often throw a handful of goji berries into a teacup and brew them with boiling water, believing it can improve eyesight, nourish the kidneys, and supplement vitamins. But does drinking goji berries this way really work?

　　Goji berries are rich in various trace elements and vitamins, which can nourish yin and enhance immunity. However, most of the vitamins in goji berries are water-soluble and are easily destroyed by heat. If you want to use goji berries to supplement vitamins, it is best to slightly soak the dried goji berries in warm water, or sprinkle them on dishes or porridge after they are cooked, using them as ingredients. This minimizes vitamin loss.

People with colds, fevers, inflammation, or diarrhea should avoid eating them. In addition, goji berries also have a "shelf life," and spoiled goji berries should not be eaten.
