Wrong eating habits and spoiled lifestyle have today made every person a victim of problems like joint pain, increasing uric acid and arthritis. But do you know that the ‘king of grains’ i.e. barley present in your kitchen is a panacea for these serious diseases? According to Dr. Vidya Gupta, home science expert of Shahjahanpur, barley is not just a grain but a powerhouse of nutrients. Barley, rich in potassium, magnesium and fiber, controls uric acid levels by removing toxins from the body. Drinking barley bread or its water regularly not only improves bone density, but also reduces the risk of bad cholesterol and heart diseases. If you are also troubled by osteoporosis or joint swelling, then make barley a part of your diet with these easy methods suggested by Dr. Gupta.
