It is the diet which maintains true health, and becomes the best medicine.

Chlorophyll bursting barley grass is a green
cereal grass that is an excellent nutritional source for both
humans and animals. Young barley leaves contain all the vitamins,
minerals, antioxidants and detoxifying compounds, proteins
and enzymes that keep the human body healthy.
Research:
Of all the grasses, barley grass has probably been researched
the most, due to the efforts of Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara who
researched over 150 different plants over a period of 13 years.
He found that barley grass is the best source of the nutrients
that the body needs for growth, repair and well-being.
Barley grass contains a substance called P4D1; it not only
has a strong anti-inflammatory action, but has also been shown
to actually repair the DNA in the body's cells. P4D1 aids
in the prevention of carcinogenesis, aging, and cell death.
Research studies indicate that barley grass juice is much
stronger than steroid drugs but has fewer, if any, side effects.
Many doctors and health practitioners have reported that
barley grass juice helps in the treatment of a variety of
illnesses, including arthritis, migraine headaches, asthma,
fatigue and gastro-intestinal disorders, and can help in clarifying
the skin. Barley grass is also credited with helping in more
serious illnesses such as blood clots, diabetes, and cancer.
According to research published in the scientific journal,
Diabetes and Metabolism (2002, Vol. 28, 107-114), regular
supplementation with barley grass reduced the levels of cholesterol
and oxygen free radicals in the blood of type 2 diabetics.
Researchers have said that this amazing plant can be used
as a preventative, if not therapeutic, approach to remaining
disease-free.
ORGANIC BARLEY GRASS AND A HEALTHY YOU
DR. RON UNIDAD MEDICAL DIRECTOR / PRODUCT SPECIALIST
When I first became an
integrative physician, Barley Grass is on top of my daily menu. There are lots
of food supplements out there but the balance that I am looking for resides in
this green grass. The real benefit and power of Barley grass is the combination
of all these nutrients and enzymes in one food. The best thing about barley
grass powder is, it is very easily digested by the body.
Celebrity Nutritionist, Gillian
McKeith, states in her book, “Living Food for Health: 12 Natural Super-foods to Transform Your
Health”, that barley grass offers more protein than a sirloin steak, five times
as the amount of iron as broccoli, seven times more vitamin C than orange juice
and 11 times more calcium than milk.
There are a few barley grass
products in the Philippine Market. To choose which is best for you depends on
your need. On my part these are a few of my guidelines.
1. Choose
an organic product which has an existing up to date certificate. Anybody can
say that their product is organic. But only a few can say that their product is
“certified organic”. This is to avoid chemically unbalance food crops, not to
mention GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organisms) which is now present in our
everyday cereals.
2. Avoid products
containing artificial sweeteners. All natural is a lot safer. Putting
artificial sweetener on a natural product is basically insane or utterly
stupid. Mostly used artificial sweetener is sucralose which on some peer
reviewed journals may cause a long term serious side effects especially on our
elimination channels i.e liver and kidneys.
3. Lastly
the product must be cold processed and properly packed passing global standards
GMP or ISO. This assures the consumers that the product they are taking is safe
from contaminants and full of functional enzymes. Consuming the Barley grass
has also shown to balance the pH of the body. The average pinoy diet is highly
acidic especially when large quantities of processed foods are eaten. Raised
acidity in the body is linked to many diseases and general ill-health. Barley
grass is very alkalizing and useful for helping the cells in the body function
optimally.
Including a pack of 3grams of
barley grass powder in your daily diet may help you gain increase in
performance, stamina, sexual energy, clarity of thought, and it can actually
help people get rid of smoking.
