[What is Phytosterol?]

Phytosterols are compounds found in plants that resemble cholesterol. The National Institutes of Heath report that there are over 200 different phytosterols, and the highest concentrations of phytosterols are found naturally in vegetable oils, beans and nuts. Their benefits are so recognized that foods are being fortified with phytosterols. At the supermarket, you may see orange juice or margarine advertising phytosterol contents. After reviewing the health benefits, you may want to add phytosterol-rich foods to your diet.

[Benefits]

Cholesterol-Lowering Benefits

The most well-known, and scientifically proven, benefit of phytosterols is their ability to help lower cholesterol. A phytosterol is a plant compound that is similar to cholesterol. A study in the 2002 issue of “Annual Review of Nutrition” explains that phytosterols actually compete for absorption with cholesterol in the digestive tract. While they prevent the absorption of regular dietary cholesterol, they themselves are not easily absorbed, which leads to a total lower cholesterol level. The cholesterol-lowering benefit does not end with a good number on your blood work report. Having lower cholesterol leads to other benefits, such as a reduced risk for heart disease, stroke and heart attacks.

Cancer Protection Benefits

Phytosterols have also been found to help protect against the development of cancer. The July 2009 issue of the” European Journal of Clinical Nutrition” offers encouraging news in the fight against cancer. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada report that there is evidence that phytosterols help prevent ovarian, breast, stomach and lung cancer. Phytosterols do this by preventing the production of cancer cells, stopping the growth and spread of cells that are already in existence and actually encouraging the death of cancer cells. Their high anti-oxidant levels are believed to be one way phytosterols help fight cancer. An anti-oxidant is a compound that fights free radical damage, which is negative effects on the body produced by cells that are unhealthy.

Skin Protection Benefits

A lesser known benefit of phytosterols involves skin care. One of the contributing factors in the aging of the skin is the breakdown and loss of collagen — the main component in connective skin tissue — and sun exposure is a major contributor to the problem. As the body ages, it is not able to produce collagen as it once did. The German medical journal “Der Hautarzt” reports a study in which various topical preparations were tested on skin for 10 days. The topical treatment that showed anti-aging benefits to the skin was the one that contained phytosterols and other natural fats. It is reported that phytosterols not only stopped the slow-down of collagen production that can be caused by the sun, it actually encouraged new collagen production.

The Barley plant is one of the world’s healthiest foods

Nutritional content and value found in barley:

Protein found in barley is twice that much than protein in wheat germ and about five times the minerals which accompany animal protein, without the burden of fat content.

The vitamins and minerals found in barley leaves are protein, calcium, folic acid, beta carotene, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, E, iron, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and dietary fiber. It also contains enzymes and amino acids (building blocks of protein), which the human body requires in order to survive. Protein found in barley is twice that much than protein in wheat germ and about five times the minerals which accompany animal protein, without the burden of fat content. Dietary fiber id effective in preventing cardiovascular diseases, intestinal diseases (like colon cancer), reduces high level of cholesterol in the body through the use of dietary fiber content called glucan and vitamin called niacin. Recent studies show that intake of barley in the body helps in preventing the formation of gallstones. It also shows that the barley contains a good amount of chlorophyll, which is beneficial for the human body. Chlorophyll has been studied for its potential as a deodorant, in stimulating tissue growth, and stimulating red blood cells ion connection with oxygen supply. It also removes carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, the by-products of respiration and pollution, and has been found to reduce fecal, urinary, and body odor in geriatric patients. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and wound-healing properties. Enzymes in barley are necessary regulators of the body, without them our cells could not function and we would perish. Most processed food we intake are acidic and we consume too much of them and it affects the alkalinity-acidity content in our body making it imbalance and this may result in fatigue and illness.

These leaves of the barley contain buffer minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, that neutralizes acidic materials and helps maintain a healthy acidity-alkalinity balance I the body. With barley’s high sodium content, arthritic patients do better has on of the highest natural levels of enzyme SOD (superoxide dismutase), which is a powerful anti-oxidant that protects the cells against toxic free radicals, that the barley leaves also have a high alkalizing effect, that by digesting them it helps to keep the ration between acidity and alkalinity in our body fluids’ balance. Our cells cannot properly function if the pH (which measures alkalinity and acidity) is not in a narrow.

Scientific studies about barley.

“Barley was the most excellent source of nutrients the body needs for growth, repair, and well being”. Dr. Yoshide Hagiwara. According to the research made by Dr. Yoshide Hagiwara, President of the Hagiwara Institute of health in Japan and a well known researcher for 13 years of over 150 different plants around the globe, barley was the most excellent source of nutrients the body needs for growth, repair and well being. He found out that consuming barley grass was good for extending youth and delaying aging; promoting healthier looking skin, nails, and hair, improving digestion; increasing energy and endurance; reducing stress; reducing inflammation, offering anti-oxidant protection against free radicals and promoting cardiovascular health.   

After studying green plants for decades, Dr. Hagiwara concluded. “it is clear to me, then, that the leaves of the cereal grasses provide the nearest thing this planet offers to the perfect food. For reasons of palatability. Higher nutrient content, and favorable harvesting features, barley stands out as the best among these”.

Yasuo Hotta, biologist from University of California, La Jolla, found a substance called P4D1 in barley grass. This substance not only has strong anti-inflammation of the oral cavity, and also laceration of the stomach and duodenum. He found that barley juice in much stronger than steroid drugs but has fewer if any side effects.

The director of the Institute of Preventive Medicine in Washington, D.C., Dr. Howard Lutz has said this about barley grass: “Barley grass in one of the most incredible products of this decade. It improves stamina, sexual energy, clarity of thought, and reduces addiction to things that are bad for you. It also improves the texture of skin, and heals the dryness associated with aging.”

Research at such leading universities as the University of California as Davis and George Washington University have found that barley grass juice contains the potent antioxidants superoxide dismutase, 2′-0-blycosylisovitexin (2’0-GIV) and vitamin E succinate. Each of these important phytochemicals has been shown to help prevent lipid peroxide caused by free radicals.
