Costa Rica is well known as a resort destination for those seeking a yoga retreat or a surf campe. In addition, it is also a major spot for sports fishing as well wildlife exursions.  The northern waterways and lagoons are famous for fantastic fishing. Snook and tarpon in record sizes are reeled in routinely.  Monkeys, toucans, and parrots can be seen flashing through the trees. Watch out for crocodiles skulking along s****. This area attracts eco-tourists as well as fishermen, but it is humid and isolated and has no decent roads into the area. The southern half is where most of the human action can be found. Many tourists avoid this area, fearing that it is full of crime and drugs. But the reality is a different picture. There is an element of a drug culture but it is mostly underground and unseen by the majority of inhabitants, just like many places most of us are familiar with. Much of it emanates from the reggae-surfer types who are too laid back by the local smoke to cause much trouble.

hey guys and girls, here is a new health and wellness article that I thought you could appreciate entitled: " Battle of the Superfoods-Goji Juice versus Green Tea". It goes into some detail about the relative advantages and is advantages of the super foods green tea and goji juice. My thought while reading it was, why not drink both? Anyway I thought the article was fascinating and I hope that you agree.

Call it the battle of the Titans. The rumble in the jungle. The epic battle between the two superpowers. Whatever you want to call it..... Goji Juice and green Tea have a lot in common and share many traits: They have been used for centuries by people in Asia who are wise when it comes to herbal nutrition in general. In fact some of the worlds longest living people consume these particular items in quantity. They also both feature first rate detox type qualities. And both originated from Japan and China, respectively.

Goji Juice is of course formulated by extracting the juice from the raisin sized Goji berry, which is also sometimes called the wolf berry. This berry is found in the Himalayan mountain range.  Now tapped by the western world, the incredible qualities of the Goji berry is rapidly becoming more popular. It has many unique benefits other than detoxifying the body. Goji juice is known to help folks who suffer from varios cardio vascular ailments. Consuming Himalyan goji juice is stated to strengthen the heart, improve sleeping and also to improve memory functions. Science on the berry further shows its remarkable qualified. The berry has solid anti-carcinogenic attributes, which yields the possibility of it being able to combat cancer. It further demonstrate effects on folks with Hepatitis B too. It even has the chemical that is known to aid pituitary gland in secreting growth hormones.

The green tea on the other hand mainly banks on its detoxifying properties. While detoxification can help the body, anything of too much won’t really be good. I remember having an interesting conversation with a friend. I asked “Why would you detox everyday? Are you in some sort of toxic situation?” Seriously too much detoxification can actually harm your body. Think of detoxification as washing off you insides. The removal of the toxins inside you is detoxification. And anything that would be washed over and over again would later have more problems and complications that it originally hoped to solve.

Green tea positively has a high level of vitamin C, something that is very substantial to strengthen the immune system. But it is interesting that Vitamin C is only one of the many vitamins and minerals that Goji berry and goji juice has. And if you thought there is nothing that trumps Oranges in terms of Vitamin C potency levels, you would be surprised to know that the vitamin C content of Goji fruit is even 500 times more than Oranges by weight. Furthermore, Goji juice is loaded with a potpouri of various amino acids, around fifty-percent of which are fundamental amino acids needed for our basic survival.
