I have an aging Dad and I wanted him to live longer to see his grandsons grow up. But as normal people we cannot avoid various illnesses as we age. As for my dad at his age of 72, he has been drinking a lot of maintenance meds. Most of the time he drinks 3-4 different medication for his blood pressure. Most of these meds are chemical base so this is the reason why I decided to let him try drinking Barley.
One of the more evident uses of barley (Hordeum vulgare), which belongs to the
grass family that produces an edible whole grain, was for beer production and dates
back to circa 3500–3100 BC in Iran, while the Greeks utilized its properties
for cereal and porridge preparation.
