Barley *B* Good For You!

Barley is one of the wholegrains that most people enjoy, plus it´s quick and easy to prepare. My favorite way is to add some to soup and just letting it boil until fluffy - about 20 minutes. The wonderful thing about barley is it is VERY high in B-1, one of nature´s tranquilizers. It helps relieve anxiety, mood, and can ease down tenseness. It´s also a great source of fiber and complex carbohydrates, which translates into a nice sustained energy source for your body. Barley also raises serotonin levels in the brain and since serotonin is vital to good moods - barley should make it into your meal plans as often as possible.
