Lifestream Organic Barley Grass 500mg 120 Capsules

It is very easy these days to get ourselves wound up, tense and over-acidic by the busy lifestyles we lead, eating too much fast food and not taking time to include enough healthy, fresh green vegetables in our diets. Overeating and the typical acidic lifestyle (white bread, sugar, takeaways, fried, processed or refined foods, tea, coffee, cigarettes and alcohol) are the key reasons for people becoming over-acidic.

To optimize our health and well being, the ideal balance of food and food residue in the body is 80% alkaline and 20% acidic. This is largely determined by the food we eat, as foods are either acid forming or alkaline forming. This is not to be confused with the immediate acidity of a food. Lemons for example, maybe considered as acid forming but lemons, once metabolized actually leave an alkaline residue in the body. Lifestream Barley Grass is full of natural ionic minerals that help to keep the acid-alkaline balance in check. See the table below for a basic guide of common foods and their acid-alkaline category.
