An Ancient and Natural Solution to a Modern Epidemic – Obesity |
|---|
For over 35 years, ALL ONE Nutritech has been making the worlds finest multiple vitamin and mineral supplements to promote health. With obesity becoming a rising health issue, and with a plethora of unhealthy fad diets and stimulants on the market, ALL ONE felt it was time to use their expertise to formulate a dietary supplement that would help people lose weight in a healthy, manageable way. ALL ONE combined the knowledge and experience of ancient cultures with today’s latest scientific breakthroughs and their 3 decades of nutritional expertise to create the ALL ONE Weight Loss Formula.
James Ingoldsby originally formulated the ALL ONE multivitamin and mineral powders to help people reach optimum levels of health and give their bodies the ammunition they needed to combat illness. But now the illness we are fighting is something different. When obesity was identified as one of the biggest preventable causes of death ALL ONE realized just a good multi wasn’t going to do the trick anymore. There is a growing demand for a healthy alternative to the many fad diets and potentially dangerous diet products flooding the market. ALL ONE created a product that people can feel good about putting into their bodies. It can be used long term to help maintain a healthy body weight as well as for initial weight loss goals.
ALL ONE Nutritech chose Organic Aktivated Barley® from Organic by Nature as the primary ingredient for the ALL ONE Weight Loss Formula. The super-activated nutrient dense barley powder used in the ALL ONE Weight Loss Formula is manufactured through a patented process that increases the Beta Glucan content by 94% according to the European lab AnalyCen. In non complex terms, this method takes the seed of barley at the point at which it is most bio-active, containing the most enzyme and organic activity, and capturing this point in its growth cycle. By arresting the sprouting process at this crucial window of opportunity, just before the seed puts forth a sprout, there is a phenomenal nutritional yield.
David Sandoval, President /CEO of Organic By Nature, Inc. says, “This is the ultimate slow burning carbohydrate! It is great for weight loss, energy, endurance and diabetics, plus it boosts your immune system and normalizes cholesterol. I believe it will help millions of people worldwide dramatically improve their health.” While this may sound like a modern miracle, Organic Aktivated Barley® actually has it roots in ancient times, when food was the only medicine.
The history of activated barley:
Over 2000 years ago, Barley was a staple food of the Roman Empire. The Romans used barley milk created in a similar process to that of today’s Organic Aktivated Barley® to feed newborn babies whose mothers were unable to breastfeed them.
The armies of Rome conquered all of Europe as they marched at speeds that averaged up to 5 miles per hour and often moved entire armies 40 miles per day (a speed that has earned them the respect of every army since). Their staple food was barley meal. Historians have noted that the Roman fortitude was due to barley meal’s ability to provide energy and endurance for extended periods of time. However, modern science shows that they also benefited from the immune boosting qualities, which enabled them to stay healthy and heal quickly! The Gladiators had an even closer association with barley meal. A recent documentary on the History channel revealed that the word Gladiator means “men who eat barley.” This was due to the fact that each Gladiator was required to eat a meal of barley each morning prior to fighting in the circus. The Gladiators owners invested a lot of time and effort to protect their “investment,” and barley was the chosen food of stable masters who administered food, medicine, massage and comfort to those whose lives were intricately linked to performance.
Hundreds of years later, the United Nations adopted the method as a powerful tool to battle hunger, disease and death in areas ravaged by famine and drought. Activated barley was chosen for its ability to provide steady energy even to full grown men for several hours, on as little as 10-20 grams.
Organic Aktivated Barley® is not just another athletic / endurance product or meal replacement. Consider the amazing potential benefits of its most active ingredient – Beta Glucan. The process that makes Organic Aktivated Barley® increases the Beta Glucan by 77%-94%, according to recent tests performed in July 2003 by AnalyCen in Sweden
What are Beta Glucans, why are they so important?
Beta Glucan is the name given to a class of polysaccharides that appear as soluble fiber in certain foods like barley. Beta Glucans are now being recognized as the most important of all soluble fibers and Beta Glucan 1-3 is the superstar of all Beta Glucans. Hundreds of scientific studies over the last few decades prove that this uniquely structured polysaccharide provides major benefits to the body particularly in modern times when diabetes, overweight and low energy pervade society. Now with the US FDA’s new guidelines, even lower levels of cholesterol are being identified with heart disease and over 63 million Americans classified, as needing cholesterol-lowering medications, the incredible cholesterol control provided Beta Glucans is more important than ever.
Immune Boosting
According to scientists, Beta Glucan 1-3 D activates the white blood cells, the defender cells. This increased macrophage (scavenging) activity of neutrophils assists the body as it defends itself from viruses, bacteria, germs and pathogens.
Cholesterol Control
In the 1999 issue of Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition it stated several reasons why Beta Glucan might be an effective tool in cholesterol control. Scientists suspect that Beta Glucans bind to bile acids (the result of old oxidizing cholesterol molecules), which are then expelled from the body through the bowels. This is the safest possible manner to reduce cholesterol because cholesterol is produced by the body to protect cells during replication. Once used becomes sticky and it collects in our arteries. Statin, Lila, Lipitor and others drugs reduce all cholesterol new and old and may in fact contribute to premature aging and disease. Beta Glucans by contrast will help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and it works fast. In one study conducted by Chicago Center for Clinical Research after only six weeks, Beta-Glucan fed groups showed significant reductions in cholesterol while the control group showed none.
Energy/ Glucose Supporting
Insulin controls the amount of glucose brought into the tissue for energy. Insulin resistance results in the body rejecting this glucose. Scientists at the Diet and Human Performance Labs believe foods like barley with Beta Glucans can help since Beta Glucans are a highly purified polysaccharide molecule completely made with glucose. This glucose is easily transformed by the body into adenosine triphospate (ATP); which is an energy source that can be stored by muscles, the liver, and other tissues. This is vitally important to diabetics since insulin resistance results in the pancreas excreting too much insulin (thus exhausting insulin reserves). In addition to stabilizing blood and tissue glucose levels, Beta Glucans may also trigger hormonal changes that result in reduced insulin resistance.

| Q & A |
Question: I try to avoid gluten in my diet so I usually do not eat barley. Does Aktivated Barley have the same amount of gluten as normal grain barley?
Answer: No, as a result of the “activating” process the Aktivated Barley® has a very small amount of gluten present only .24% to .26% of content. It has actually been deemed safe by the UN for people with Gluten allergies. But it is always best to see how your body reacts to it, so do not write it off because it is made from barley. We have one serving size samples available if you would like to see how your body responds.

Water for Weight Loss
Water is an important part of your weight loss success. This is especially the case if you are using a meal replacement that is high in fiber. Fiber and water work together to achieve the feeling of fullness and to transport unwanted toxins out of the body.
To stay adequately hydrated you should drink approximately three quarts (96 ounces) of water a day. For weight loss, you should drink an additional 8 ounces of water for every 25 pounds you are over your ideal body weight. Also, water consumption should be increased in hot climates or during vigorous exercise.
At the same time it is important to note that more than 1 1/2 gallons of water ingested within an hour of activity can be dangerous! As a general guideline for optimum health, the National Research Council recommends an intake of 9 cups a day for women.
How?
Try to drink your water between meals as drinking a lot during meals can dilute you digestive enzymes. Keep water bottles placed strategically around the house or office so you can see them and remember to drink. Also keep water bottles in the car so you can quench your thirst while you are sitting in traffic with little else to do.
Benefits of Water
