Activated Barley
Modern Miracle, Ancient Medicine
A recent documentary on the History channel revealed
that the word Gladiator means “men who eat barley”. This
was due to the fact that each Gladiator was required to
eat a meal of barley every morning. The staple food of
the armies of Rome that conquered all of Europe was
barley meal. Historians always noted that this was due
to barley meal’s ability to provide energy and endurance
for extended periods of time. However, modern science
shows that barley also enhanced the soldiers’ immune
boosting qualities which enabled them to stay healthy
and heal quickly! The ancient Olympic athletes consumed
a cup of barley porridge before each event.
Activated Barley is a special form of barley. What is
done in the activation process is to take the seed of
Barley at the point at which it is most bio-active,
containing the most enzyme and organic activity, and
capturing this point in its life cycle. By arresting the
sprouting process at this crucial window of opportunity,
just before the seed puts forth a sprout, provides a
phenomenal nutritional yield, increasing beta-gluca by
up to 94%.
Noted nutritionist, David Sandoval, says, “This is the
ultimate slow burning carbohydrate! It is great for
weight loss, energy, endurance and diabetics, plus it
boosts your immune system and normalizes cholesterol. I
believe it will help millions of people worldwide
dramatically improve their health.”. Its complex
carbohydrate chains break down slowly providing a steady
supply of energy to the body while helping avoid blood
glucose surges.
Beta-Glucan is the name given to a class of
polysaccharides that appear as soluble fiber in certain
foods like Activated Barley. Beta-Glucans are now being
recognized as the most important of all soluble fibers
and Beta-Glucan 1-3 is the superstar of all Beta-Glucans.
Hundreds of scientific studies over the last few decades
prove that this uniquely structured polysaccharide
provides major benefits to the body.
--Immune system boosting: according to scientists
Beta-Glucan 1-3 D activates the white blood cells, the
defender cells. This increased macrophage (scavenging)
activity assists the body as it defends itself from
viruses, bacteria, germs and pathogens. Research shows
that Activated Barley also contains active SOD enzyme
markers, the free radical scavenging enzyme that is
known as the master enzyme.
--Cholesterol Control: In the 1999 issue of
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition it stated
several reasons why Beta-Glucan (like that found in
Activated Barley) might be an effective tool in
cholesterol control. Scientists suspect that Beta-Glucans
binds to bile acids (the result of old oxidizing
cholesterol molecules), which are then expelled from the
body. Beta-Glucans also work fast. In one study
conducted by Chicago Center for Clinical Research after
only six weeks, Beta-Glucan fed groups showed
significant
reductions in cholesterol while the control group showed
none.
--Energy/ Glucose Control: Beta-Glucans are a
highly purified polysaccharide molecule completely made
with glucose. This glucose is easily transformed by the
body into ATP which is an energy source that can be
stored by muscles, the liver, and other tissues. This is
vitally important to diabetics. In addition to
stabilizing blood and tissue glucose levels, Beta-Glucans
like those found in Activated Barley may also trigger
hormonal changes that result in reduced insulin
resistance.
