Summary:

Helps You Lose Weight: Barley helps to reduce weight, partially because of several essential amino acids, and partially because of its fiber content. It modulates your blood sugar levels. This helps avoid sugar peaks and drops usually associated with the fat storage process.

Reduces your risk of developing cancer: The antioxidants in barley are important to help prevent some cancers. A study suggested that the antioxidants in barley can keep colon cancer cells from reproducing.

Rich In Vitamins And Minerals: Barley has a good amount of several different nutrients that keep your body humming. It has niacin, a B vitamin the body uses to turn food into energy. Niacin is also key for the nervous and digestive systems and for the health of the skin.

Lowers Cholesterol Levels: Several studies have shown that eating barley may have beneficial effects on cholesterol. A diet high in soluble fiber — which barley has — can lower total and bad cholesterol by 5–10%.

Loaded With Fiber: Barley is a delicious way to up your fiber content. And fiber has a range of health benefits. It supports healthy digestion, weight loss and better glycemic control.

Helps balance gut bacteria: The balance of natural gut bacteria plays an essential role in keeping a person healthy. Studies have shown that consuming barley-based foods leads to a reduction of a gut bacteria called bacteroides.

Prevents Osteoporosis: The phosphorus as well as copper in barley ensures overall good health of bones. Phosphorus can effectively cure bone and tooth problems, making them stronger. In case you have osteoporosis, barley is usually its natural remedy. Barley grass juice has 11 times greater calcium than milk.

Controls Blood Sugar: Barley may help lower blood sugar and insulin levels, which may reduce your risk of diabetes. It is a good source of the soluble fiber beta-glucan, which slows the absorption of sugar in your body. In a study, barley was found to be far more effective in reducing sugar levels by 59–65% as compared to 29–36% with oats.

Boosts Immunity: Being highly nutritious, barley is particularly helpful in strengthening the body’s immune system and reducing the chances of cold and flu.

Prevents Gallstones: Barley is known to prevent the formation of gallstones in women quite effectively. Since it is rich in fiber, it reduces the secretion of bile acids. This increases insulin sensitivity and reduces the level of triglycerides in the body.
