Barley is considered one of the most valuable cereals. It is gluten-free, hypoallergenic, and rich in phenolic compounds. A mere 100 grams of this grain provides one-third of your daily magnesium and fiber intake. Is it possible that this grain can also assist in the process of detoxifying the body?
The causes behind the development of acidity
Fluids present in the human body possess a specific pH value. Some of them exhibit an acidic reaction, such as gastric juice, while others are alkaline, such as blood. The functioning of the kidneys, lungs, and buffering systems maintains a constant pH of the blood. Even minor deviations from this norm can lead to serious consequences. A cause of acidity can be insufficient function of lungs or kidneys. An improper diet cannot lower blood pH. However, ingested food does impact the pH of urine. A low pH value can be a risk factor for kidney stones. Food products can be divided into acid-forming and base-forming, depending on their elemental content. The PRAL value can be calculated for each food product. Meat and yellow cheeses belong to the category of strongly acidic food products. In the diet, a balance between products from both groups should be sought. The foundation of the diet should be base-forming vegetables, while meat should serve as a supplement. One may ask whether it is possible to rectify errors in diet through a complete change in eating habits or a multi-day detox?

Cleansing with buckwheat grains involves a monodiet based on buckwheat for several days. It is rich in phenolic compounds and contains a lot of protein and other nutrients. Additionally, due to its gluten-free nature, it can be consumed by individuals with celiac disease. During this diet, sugar, sweets, processed foods, dairy, and animal fats are excluded. The PRAL value for buckwheat is 8.8, which means it is not a strongly acidifying grain.
