Beta-Glucan rich Barley Boosts Immune System
Mom’s Barley Soup for spring colds and winter meals boosts immune system with beta glucan. Free recipe video (below) shows how easy it is to make. It’s my vegetarian adaptation of a wonderful soup my mom made when we were kids. 175 clinical studies on everyday herbs and spices can’t be wrong.
About Beta Glucan
Moms will love this soup when they learn how easy it is to make and how protective. Those pursuing natural cancer treatment will love knowing a simple everyday food such as barley is one of the highest in beta glucan.
A powerful immune modulator, beta glucan is found in barley, certain mushrooms, oats and yeast. Science understanding the value of beta glucan is relatively new, though during the 1918 flu pandemic a woman homeopath used barley broth to save many lives. Beta-glucan has been shown to benefit cancer treatment.
Beta glucan is also believed to have cholesterol-lowering effects and to assist with blood sugar levels. In 1997, the FDA allowed oat bran to be registered as the first cholesterol-reducing food to include 3 grams beta-glucan daily.
