I adore bee pollen. The little-known health food supplement known as bee pollen is legitimately one of the best health foods in the world. Research all over the planet verify its effectiveness in everything from combating exhaustion, prostate cancer, stabilizing the immune structure and even in removing the bad LDL cholesterol in your blood. Just what is bee pollen (sometimes it's called "bee bread" by the way)?
Why is it so good for you?
Bee bread is produced by honey bees. It has trace amounts of minerals, vitamins, enzymes and is incredibly high in protein and carbohydrates. Scientific studies also demonstrate that bee pollen is teeming in enzymes and co-enzymes. Enzymes are essential in the body for digestive as well as the all-important immune performance.
The enzymes in bee bread are imperative for a balanced chemical metabolism. It is a perfect food, nutritionally speaking. Here is the nutritional profile of bee bread. It has approximately a 25% protein quantity containing at least 18 amino acids. It provides more than 12 vitamins, 28 minerals, 11 enzymes and co-enzymes, 14 beneficial fatty acids, and 11 carbohydrates.
So, what are some of the well touted health benefits?
*It is great for a quick energy boost. It is a wonderful energy supplement, which is something almost everybody wants more of. In his book Bee Pollen, Dr. Kurt Donsbachid wrote that boxer Muhammad Ali was an avid user of bee pollen as it gave him much needed endurance in the boxing ring.
*It improves the human sex drive. This is something most people are interested in -- especially males! It literally is a honest-to-goodness alternative to Viagra or Cialis.
*This metabolic regulating capability of bee pollen helps to expedite weight loss.
*It improves the human immune system. Bee bread can help facilitate weight control by righting a possible chemical imbalance, which may be a player in abnormal weight gain.
*Will help with conception problems as it stimulates the ovaries and improves the female's egg health.
*It improves nail and hair health.
*It slows down human aging. One Dr. G. Liebold, a medical doctor and psychologist of Karlsrude, Germany who has studied bee bread in several tests maintains that, "Bee's Pollen is an excellent prophylaxis and therapeutic treatment against the precocious symptoms of old age. It should be considered a universal geriatric treatment in the form of a natural remedy."
*It helps ward off Father Time with the aging of your skin.
*It bolsters, increases, and enhances human corporal and mental functions.
*It helps in destroying food cravings and other non-food cravings.
*Medical studies prove bee's pollen has a regulating effect on intestinal functionality. It even helps to relieve the most difficult constipation.
*Beepollen granules is exceptionally low in calories only sporting a low90 calories per ounce.
*The undesirable cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins - LDL) decreased and the good cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins - HDL) increased and this is what you want. Blood serum is also augmented. Moreover, triglycerides are also removed. (Triglycerides are fat in the blood.)
*Improves blood health. Medical researchers have found that bee's pollen improved the white and red blood cell count. In one clinical study, those with anemia had improved levels of hemoglobin.
*Diminishment of cardiovascular problems like arteriosclerosis.
*Improved mental function like memory and emotional states. One more easily deals with stress through the usage of bee pollen.
*Research has shown that bee pollen inhibits the development of numerous harmful bacteria, even E. Coli.
*It helps facilitate immune system resistance to noxious allergies.
*It's cheap.
What about research that validates these statements? Unfortunately, in the 1940s, the United States began moving to synthetic pharmaceutical drugs so there hasn't been a lot of medical research studies conducted on bee pollen in the States. In Europe, however, there has been a significant number of studies that validate these benefits. What about the Big C cancer? Let me quote from a study done on mammary tumors and bee's pollen.
This particular medical study discovered that "Particular attention was given to the weight of the treated animals, since underweight can in itself bring about a delay in tumor development. No decrease in weight occurred in the animals receiving the pollenized food. Instead, a slight but fairly uniform increase was noted, possibly due to a nutritional factor in pollen."
Yes, bee pollen is an unbelievable nutritional health food. It is easily added to your daily health regime. It can be sprinkled on salads, added to shakes, added to herbal teas, or just eaten raw. If eating it is unappealing to you, there are outstanding bee pollen supplements on the market.
Look for one that is made from pristine bee pollen with pharmaceutical-grade quality such as in northern Canada or New Zealand. The sourcing of the bee pollen is critical. The farther away the bee hive is from industrialization, the better. The more pristine the environment it's cultured from the better too.
A word of warning, if you decide to take beepollen, see your medical professional first in case you have an allergy to bee products. If you are allergic to honey or bee stings, bee pollen could bring about anaphylactic shock.
There you have it. Bee bread is astonishing. Perhaps you will see learn that for yourself too.
