This article was not written to endorse a particular product
but to share the effect Barley had on me since I started using the product. The immense health benefits of barley had been initially
discovered through a comprehensive study made by a Japanese scientist Dr.
Yoshihide Hagiwara. His studies
established that green leaf of barley when harvested as a young grass before
the ovule begins to move up and the grain to develop contains vitamins,
minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and is very rich in
chlorophyll. That is, it contains the
most prolific balanced supply of nutrients that exist on earth in a single
source.
Now for some of the health benefits;
- It is very rich in chlorophyll (the substance that give the plant its green color) a powerful antioxidant that help prevent development and proliferation of cancer cells and helps control body odor.
- As a great source of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids that the body needs for proper metabolism, it helps strengthen the body’s immune system and its capacity to fight against diseases.
- It has high fiber content that help promote regular vowel movement and also good for weight loss.
- It lowers cholesterol level and blood pressure and thus reduces risk of heart disease.
- It is a powerful detoxifier that helps remove toxic and heavy metals from the body.
- It increases energy levels and improves digestion.
Most herbal products claim to possess also above benefits
and while it may be true for I already have been using various natural /herbal
products before, barley is the one which helped me a lot.
My major health concern then was my blood pressure which at its
lowest register’s at 140/90. I always
experience dizziness and fear being left alone in the house or travel alone due
to this discomfort. Minors concerns
were: I am prone to sneeze when exposed
to dust, pollution or foul odors which translate to either cold or cough and at
times skin rashes too. Along with these
are occasional joint pains and some bruises that appear on some parts of my
body. I began experiencing these
discomforts after the age of 50. After
several consultation and taking prescribed medicines which offered immediate relief
but discomforts kept coming back I resorted to alternative or
herbal supplements. Aloe vera, bee poolen, virgen coconut oil, taheebo tea, honey,
apple cider vinegar are only some of the products I had tried and they had in a
way helped improved my anxieties. Sometimes I use a combination of these products to maximize their benefits.
Then I heard how a well-known radio commentator’s blood
pressure improved by using barley. I
immediately searched for its benefits in the net and likewise where to get it
in our place. I am now using it for
almost two years and had stuck to it since then. Now my BP is between 110-120/80 every time
I go for check up and the minor discomforts I have mentioned above are
now gone including the occasional joint pains.
It also improved my sleeping habits for I could now fall into sleep
easily and sleep longer. Only exception is
occasional cold as I still sneeze sometimes if exposed to dust and pollution
but not as intense as before.
I now
travel alone anytime I want to and is more energetic and active. After taking a cup of powdered barley juice diluted
in cold or plain tap water (or 2 capsules) on an empty stomach once I get up
from bed every morning, I right away attend to various house chores at hand. At times I got
so engrossed with what I’m doing that I forgot to follow this up with a breakfast
an hour after since I don’t easily get tired
unlike before. I can now sit longer in front of a computer without getting dizzy and no back or shoulder
pains thereafter. These results however were not acquired
overnight for I became aware of initial improvement a month later.
