Barley Grass is your Body Alkaliser

Are you over-acidic?

It is very easy these days to get ourselves wound up, tense and over-acidic by the busy lifestyles we lead, eating too much fast food and not taking time to include enough healthy, fresh green vegetables in our diets. Overeating and the typical acidic lifestyle (white bread, sugar, takeaways, fried, processed or refined foods, tea, coffee, cigarettes and alcohol) are the key reasons for people becoming over-acidic.

The body’s acid-alkaline balance is very important to our overall health. This balance is often overlooked when health problems are addressed. The human body is perpetually in a changing state between acid and alkaline and is continually working to maintain an ideal pH level of between 7.3 and 7.4. Barley Grass helps balance this process.

To optimize our health and well being, the ideal balance of food and food residue in the body is 80% alkaline and 20% acidic. This is largely determined by the food we eat, as foods are either acid forming or alkaline forming. This is not to be confused with the immediate acidity of a food. Lemons for example, maybe considered as acid forming but lemons, once metabolized actually leave an alkaline residue in the body. Barley Grass is full of natural ionic minerals that help to keep the acid-alkaline balance in check.

Restoring the acid/alkaline balance

Babies are born in a very alkaline state and over time we can become more and more acidic. However, all is not lost - the body can regain its natural alkaline balance by eating highly alkaline foods such as green leafy vegetables, fresh seasonal fruits, pulses and nutrient-rich super foods like Barley Grass. The key is changing the balance of the foods you eat, the overall amount of food consumed and getting to know which foods are acid forming and which are alkaline forming.

Barley Grass imparts an alkaline residue once digested and can help to nourish and balance your system. Barley Grass is gluten free and can be used by coeliacs (people allergic to gluten or wheat products). The many enzymes present such as cytochrome oxidase, lipase, protease and amylase support good healthy digestive function and intestinal flora. Barley Grass is non allergenic and is excellent for a wide variety of conditions as it contains no animal or dairy products or synthetic additives. Barley Grass is available in capsules and powder.
