Ok, not that simple. You will still need to live a healthy life, keep healthy spirit, etc. But now about Goji berry.
From Wikipedia:
Goji, goji berry or wolfberry is the fruit of Lycium barbarum (simplified Chinese: 宁夏枸杞; traditional Chinese: 寧夏枸杞; pinyin: Níngxià gǒuqǐ) and Lycium chinense (pinyin: gǒuqǐ). The two species are native to Asia.
Wolfberry seems to be more common name in the West, however I will use Chinese name of goji berry.
I can say I do eat goji berry sometimes as an ingredient in many Chinese dishes and soups, but I will add it into my daily diet starting from tomorrow.
Goji berry has well known reputation of delaying mortality, so why should I hesitate?
From AnnMarie's blog: https://www.annmariegianni.com/goji-berry-the-long-lived-anti-aging-fruit/ :
The goji berry’s reputed ability to help preserve long life was recorded in China’s first herbal encyclopedia, “Shen Nong’s Materia Medica,” written in the first century B.C. The goji was classified as a “superior tonic,” in a class of herbs that people should take on an ongoing basis to preserve youth and promote general well being of life.
Goji was also used to strengthen the liver, purify the blood, protect healthy vision, and revitalize energy. More recent research has found that the berries are high in antioxidants, which can boost the immune system and help protect from illnesses like heart disease. They’re also rich in vitamin A, which are known to help maintain healthy vision.
And here comes the MAN:
Mr. Li Qing Yun (1677–1933) was a Chinese medicine physician, herbal expert, qigong master, and tactical consultant. He was said to have lived through nine emperors in the Qing Dynasty to be 256 years old.Rumors of Ching-Yuen’s life are amass, including 23 wives (whom he survived) and 180 descendants across eleven generations.
Li’s secrets of longevity: “Keep a quiet heart, sit like a tortoise, walk sprightly like a pigeon and sleep like a dog.”
He ate his meals at regular times. He was a vegetarian and frequently drank wolfberry (goji berry) tea.
He slept early and got up early. When he had time, he sat up straight with his eyes closed and hands in his lap, at times not moving at all for a few hours.
Perhaps Li’s goji berry tea played a crucial part in his health. After hearing Li’s story, medical researchers from Britain and France conducted an in-depth study of goji berry and found that it contains an unknown vitamin called “Vitamin X,” also known as the “beauty vitamin.” Their experiments confirmed that goji berry inhibits the accumulation of fat and promotes new liver cells, lowers blood glucose and cholesterol, and so on.
Goji berry performs a role of rejuvenation: It activates the brain cells and endocrine glands; enhances the secretion of hormones; and removes toxins accumulated in the blood, which can help maintain a normal function of body tissues and organs.

In my simple opinion, goji berry are reach in ORMUS that they extract from the dirt.
