How Pure Barley Helps Combat Diseases

HYPERTENSION 

- Barley contains enzymes such as Fatty Acid Oxidase, Peroxidase, Catalase, Cytochrome Oxidase and Transhydrogenase that cause decomposition of fats in our bodies.
- It has chlorophyll which cuts excess cholesterol and triglycerides and other lipids.
- It contains soluble fiber which helps metabolize fats, cholesterol and carbohydrates.
- It contains Arginine (14.3mg/g) at higher amounts which keep the blood vessels elastic, keeping the blood flow smoothly, melts away plaque that exists in blood vessels and also reduces blood clots and bad cholesterol.
- Formation of Procollagen Type IV prevents the formation of plaque (atherosclerotic plaques) in the blood vessels.
DIABETES

- Barley contains a high amount of Arginine (14.3mg/g) and this amino acid is used to release insulin from the pancreas and help increase glucose uptake in the muscle cells.
- It has Chromium that increases the ability of insulin to bind to cells and leads to increase insulin sensitivity of the body tissues. It makes the body more efficient in absorbing the blood sugar. It acts as a “Travel Guide”, opening the door for the insulin to enter into the body cells. It lowers blood sugar and insulin levels in people with type II diabetes.
- It has Vanadium which activates insulin receptors, making the beta cell of the pancreas produce more insulin, resulting in the decrease of blood sugar.
CANCER
- Barley is good for cancer because of the presence of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) which restores the functions and repairs the body’s DNA to prevent cancer cells from developing. SOD is also a free radical scavenger of tumor cells.
- It is also good for cancer due to the presence of P4D1 enzyme which destroys cancer cells and at the same time immediately repairs damaged DNA molecules of the cells.
- It contains a high amount of Potassium (3,800mg/100g) which is very important in preventing new growth and multiplication of cancer cells.
- It contains Peroxidase enzyme which breaks and neutralizes the carcinogenic black color substance in grilled meat and fish.
- Since barley is highly alkaline, it destroys cancer cells.
- It has a high score of ORAC 25,500 per 100 grams having high amounts of oxygen carrying capacity. Cancer cells cannot live in high concentrations of oxygen.
- It contains 2-O-Glycosylisovitexin enzyme which prevents multiplication of cancer cells.
ARTHRITIS/RHEUMATISM/GOUT
- Barley contains a high amount of Vitamin C (548mg/100g) plus the four important Amino Acids (Proline, Lysine, Arginine, and Glycine) which are necessary for the formation or production of procollagen to produce Type I and Type II collagen needed in rebuilding damaged cartilage and tendons in joints.
- Lysine increases the production of procollagen which helps in rebuilding new bones, tendon cells, and cartilage tissue and in turn for the healing of wounds.
- Proline is a component of cartilage for healthy joints and ligaments.
- Organic Sodium (775mg/10g) which dissolves calcium deposited in the joints.
