Fast Food of the Future
It is the diet which maintains true health, and becomes the best medicine.
Barley Grass was one of the first grains to be cultivated, as early as 7000 BC. The use of barley for food and medicinal purposes goes back to the distant past.
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.
