Have You Ever Seen A Sick Bee?
I really enjoy honey and the other day as I was eating my toast with honey and cinnamon, I was reading the honey jar label and it didn't seem to have much of anything in it so decided to go online and see what I could find out as I was always told that honey was good for you. This led me to a page about bee pollen and I am convinced that we all should be consuming this product after reading the information on it.
Here are some of the good things in bee pollen:
It is known to contain 16 vitamins, including B-complex and vitamins A, C, D, and E.
It contains 16 minerals, 21 enzymes and coenzymes and all of the 18 amino acids. It contains the essence of every plant from which bees collect pollen, in combination with digestive enzymes from the bees.
It contains up to 40% protein, 55% carbohydrates and 2% fatty acids and has the potential to contribute as a major food source or humans.
In Russia, most of the elderly centurians were bee keepers that ate the scrap honey from the bottom of the hive that contained the most pollen. Bee pollen can sometimes be purchased from a natural health food store or if you have a bee keeper in your region, or perhaps even at your local market you will find this product. You can purchase it raw or mixed with honey, which is the way to ensure you get all the nutrients from it, rather than as a pill form supplement which can lose some of it's properties in the process.
Pollen can also help you either lose or gain weight depending on your body's needs.. smart bees! Here's an excellent article about all the amazing qualities of bee pollen and how it can greatly enhance not only your physical health but also greatly enhance your mental health.
A word of caution, evidently if you are allergic to bees, you should probably not eat this product and consult a doctor if you have pollen allergies to see if you can use this product. Remember, just because a product is natural, it doesn't always mean you can eat it. Always start slowly if you are going to go forth and try a new natural supplement.
