Goji berries are good for supplementing the Yin of the liver and kidneys. It's like adding a little oil to your lamp, so your metabolic flame doesn't burn you out. They are also indicated for the eyes, as they contain large amounts of lutein (I think that's it), a pigment important for the functioning of the eyes. According to TCM, the liver is connected to the eyes. Dry, red eyes may indicate a deficiency of liver Yin. Liver fire may lead to frustration, anger, yelling, agiation, etc.
A small handfull each day is OK. You can also add them to soups, rice, trail mix, whatever you like. More is not necessarily better.
