GREEN BARLEY: A Total Food
Barley is considered a super food because it is used as relief food in impoverished countries because of its ability to support human life better than any other single food. Barley has 4x the calcium milk and 22x the iron in spinach.
Barley is said to be the only vegetation on earth that can supply all the nutrients required by the body right from birth to old age.
A concentrated source of nearly three dozen vitamins and minerals, barley grass is particularly rich in vitamins A, C, B1, B2, folic acid, and B12; calcium; iron; potassium; and chlorophyll. Unlike most plants, barley grass provides nine essential amino acids (those which your body can’t produce).
Consuming plant-based foods of all kinds has long been associated with a reduced risk of many lifestyle related health conditions. Many studies have suggested that increasing consumption of plant foods like barley decreases the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and overall mortality. They are also considered to promote a healthy complexion and hair, increased energy, and overall lower weight.
