Barley is one of the ancient grains grown by humans. It can be used to make porridge, stews, soups, salads, casseroles, breads etc. Regular intake of barley significantly reduces the level of serum cholesterol and visceral fat, both of which are primarily responsible for cardiovascular diseases. The fiber in barley can improve regularity and digestive health as well as lower bad cholesterol levels. Barley is also a rich source of B vitamins, including niacin, thiamine, and pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) that provides numerous protective actions against cardiovascular risk factors. Barley may help control appetite by stabilizing blood sugar and by slowing the emptying of your stomach. The phosphorus, calcium, copper, magnesium, and zinc in barley contribute to improved bone structure and strength. Choline is another nutrient that help to reduce inflammation. Barley contains betaine, which the body can convert to choline.
