Cleansing with Barley


Healing and cleansing with barley  High in fibre, barley is also a kidney cleanser. Better yet, regular intake of it helps  prevent heart disease. BARLEY water was always a regular drink  when we were still living at home. Whenever we had to go for a medical exam that included a urine test, my mum would make us drink barley water a day before it to make sure we got a positive result!

My mother was a wise woman. I later found out from an Australian naturopath that barley is known to be a kidney cleanser, and he happily downed glasses of it at a meal we had in a coffee-shop here.

Barley is good for your intestinal health too. Try to eat the barley grains you find in your drink or sweet broth with fu chook (beancurd skin) and ginkgo nuts.

It's high in fibre which feeds the friendly bacteria in the colon and helps speed up the transit of fecal matter in it. In this way it helps preventhaemorrhoids and colon cancer.
The propionic acid and beta glucan from barley's insoluble fibre also help lower cholesterol and prevent the formation of gallstones.

Eating barley regularly is a preventive step against heart disease as, besides the fibre content, it is also high in niacin, a B vitamin good for lowering cholesterol.

Diabetics should eat more barley as the fibre will prevent blood sugar levels from rising too high. It also provides relief from constipation or diarrhoea for those suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Barley is rich in selenium which prevents cancer and relieves symptoms of asthma and arthritis. It is a good source of manganese, copper and phosphorous.

Malt sugar comes from sprouted barley which, when fermented, is an ingredient in beer and other alcoholic beverages.
Barley, whose Latin name is hordeum vulgare, has been cultivated for more than 10,000 years.

Since ancient times, barley has been used for healing purposes and has been known to the Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Athletes in
Greece and Rome in those days were known to eat barley bread to give them strength.

Besides the usual things we do with barley, I enjoy having it in a western soup. The larger pearl barley is used and I love the sticky bite of it.
 Here's a recipe for barley soup:
 
Barley soup with roasted garlic
 1 cup pearl barley
5 cloves whole garlic, roasted
2 litres chicken stock, steeped from 1 chicken breast simmered in three litres water
2 tbsps vegetable oil
2 large onions, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
150g turkey ham, cut up
1 tsp ground white pepper
1 tsps sea salt or to taste
1 tbsp chopped parsley
 Method
 1. Wash barley and soak it in a bowl of water for three hours. Drain.

2. Heat oil in pan and fry onions. Add carrots and celery, then the barley and fry for three minutes.

3. Add chicken stock, pepper and roasted garlic and simmer over low heat for at least an hour, or until barley is soft.

4. Add salt to taste and serve the soup garnished with chopped parsley

薏米膳食小贴士
由于薏苡的淡斑、美白、消肿功效显著故而各大护肤品都少不了添加薏苡萃取物。  薏米微寒而不伤胃,益脾而不滋腻,重症患者可加大剂量。   对孕妇、津液不足、滑精者要适量服用不宜大量服用。
 薏米以白色粒状为最佳,粉状会减轻其药效,可单独煎服或与芝麻、牛奶、绿豆等 同服。

再贴几个膳食小贴士:

TIPS-----莲子、淮山、粳米要先浸透,待水沸后下料,才不易沾底,褒出的粥才香浓。薏米性凉味甘,有清热利湿、健脾益气、美白祛斑之工效,主治泄泻、淋浊、带下、子宫颈癌、面色黯淡、雀斑等症。莲子可补益脾胃、止泄固精。此粥适宜身体虚弱及脾虚型带下患者常食。
美白:薏米芝麻汤
材料:薏仁3匙,芝麻1匙,热牛奶200毫升。

  适合类型:粗黑肌肤、斑点肌肤、毛孔明显、下身浮肿肥胖、脸部浮肿肥胖薏仁茶还有消除水肿的效果。如果晚上没睡好,第二天早晨起来眼睛变泡泡眼,一杯薏仁茶就搞定!    所以薏米可以去湿,下火,去痘。煲完汤后,汤渣也可以吃。
   最简单的,是将炒过的薏仁当作茶泡来喝,或是将炒熟后的薏仁磨碎,每天服薏仁粉。也可以和绿豆一起煮,煮成绿豆薏米粥(在煮之前把薏仁浸在水中泡软,煮起来会比较快)
