Fields Of Greens

Description And Purpose :
Driving through the countryside in the spring or summer, we can't help but feel encouraged by the sight of fresh vegetables and grains ripening for the harvest, and yet, how often at the supermarket do we walk past the greengrocery section to get our meals from the freezer or the chiller or from the rows of nearly stacked cans? We've all grown up with parental encouragement to 'eat your greens', but all too often, lifestyle pressures lead us to choose the time benefits of fast food over the nutritional benefits of fresh food, and we miss out on vital nutrients gathered during the harvest of grains and vegetables.

Young Green Barley - Until the advent of wheat and rye, barley was the primary grain for bread in Europe. The juice of young barley was primary grain for bread in Europe. The juice of young barley plants is known to contain a rich mineral cocktail - potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium, copper, phosphorus, zinc and manganese. In addition, an antioxidant Compound known as 2-0-GI (2-0- Glycosylisovitexin) occurs naturally in green barley leaves. Professor Shibamoto of the University of Califonia (Davis) has said "2-0-GI is as potent as any antioxidant" Dr. Richard Gold of the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine has written of green barley "the longer this adaptogen is taken, the more its therapeutic benefit is enhanced."

Honey - The credentials of honey as a source of nutritional benefit are well established. A source of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, honey has long been used to promote energy and healing.

Wheat Grass - A rich nutritional food, also containing a great variety of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Dr. Ann Wigmore claims that 15lb. Of fresh wheat grass is equal in nutritional value to 350 lb. Of fresh vegetables.

Alfalfa - Because alfalfa roots burrow as much as 130 feet deep into the earth, they draw up minerals from the rich soil, making this plant another of the richest mineral foods available to man. These minerals are in total balance, and aid maximum absorption. Alfalfa is also an excellent source of vitamins A, B6, E and K. It lowers cholesterol levels, and is a natural plant oestrogen.

Strearic Acid - This is a binder formulated from natural fatty acids.

Cayenne pepper - Long used as a traditional medicine, it has been found to improve circulation and aid digestion.

Chromium Picolinate - chromium is an essential trace mineral and research shows that diets in 90% of industrialised nations are deficient in it. Sugar causes the body to use more of the limited amount of chromium consumed and so does exercise. Chromium has been shown to enhance the ability of the body to utilise insulin, thus helping to control blood sugar.
