Do you remember learning about the birds and the bees? Well, there may be something no common ever told you -- bees generate some of nature's most nutritional substances during their springtime dance amidst the flowers. Four of these returnss of the hive -- bee pollen honey propolis, and royal jelly -- are receiving more and more attention for their health-supportive benefits.

Bee pollen: "the world's entire food"

In his volume How to Live the Millennium: The Bee Pollen Bible, the late Royden Brown says, "Chemical analyses from research laboratories all from one side of to the other the world show that bee pollen provides all the nutrients mankind emergencys for complete life support."

The nutrients in bee pollen include 22 amino acids -- with higher amounts of the eight essential aminos than mostly high-protein foods -- 27 minerals, the abounding span of vitamins, as well as carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, and numerous enzyme and coenzyme which are necessary for efficient digestion of diet healing, and general good health.

What exactly is bee pollen? Bee pollen is a golden-colored dust gathered by way of bees from the stamens of flowers. If it were not for bees that carry this male pollen to female receptors, many flowers and species of plants would die gone out Flying from flower to flower, bees muster pollen on their underside and forehead legs and, with pollen head-tufts on their rear legs, they store pollen in four pollen baskets forward each side of their rear leg joints; they later deposit this pollen in their hives.

throughout the years, bee pollen has been treasured for its many health-enhancing benefits, which include its use as an aid for weight have the direction of and allergies and to encourage beauty and longevity.

Brown has told us that, "Bee pollen works surprises in a weight control or weight stabilization regimen according to correcting a possible chemical imbalance in carcass metabolism which may be involved in either abnormal weight-gain or abnormal weight-loss. The normalizing and stabilizing tenors of this perfect food from the beehive are phenomenal." He hinted that bee pollen accomplishes these tenors by "stoking the metabolic fires" and believes that it should be recognized as "nature's actual dietetic weight-loss food." Brown also said that bee pollen acts as a natural appetite suppressant because it contains the amino acid phenylalanine, which is featured in many natural weight-loss formulas. Surprisingly, it appears that that for those who ne to gain weight, the phenylalanine in bee pollen uses the opposite effect.

Of bee pollen's use as a beauty aid, it has been shown that the consumption of bee pollen can improve the appearance of unhealthy or aging skin. It has demonstrated benefits when applied externally, as well. Brown names Lars-Erik Essen, M.D., a dermatologist from Halsinborg, Sweden, who pioneered the use of bee pollen as a beauty aid as saying `"It looks to prevent premature aging of the small cavitys and stimulates growth of recently made known skin tissue. It offers effective protection against dehydration and injects recent life into dry cells. It smoothes away wrinkles and stimulates a life-giving vital current supply to all skin cells"'

In their volume Sexual Nutrition, Morton Walker, DPM and Joan Morton wrote of bee pollen's ability to prefer longevity and ease allergies. Of longevity, they cite work done on Professor Nicolai Vasilevich Tsitsin, a Russian geriatrician and biologist at the Longevity Institute of Russia, who was a leading authority onward longevity. They say he accidentally stumbl concerning the importance of bee pollen's part in longevity. Investigating why in this way many natives of the Russian state of Georgia (in the Soviet Union at that time) lived more than 100 years -- near as long as 150 -- he learned that in the greatest degree of these modern Methuselahs were bee-keepers. each day, they ate raw, unprocess honey rich in bee pollen

Of bee pollen's beneficial consequence on allergies, Walker and Morton cite work done at William G. Peterson, M.D., of Ada, Okla., a clinical allergist who used bee pollen to relieve the allergy symptoms of 22000 patients, and that of another doctor, Ullrich Wahn, MD a researcher at Heidelberg University Children's Clinic in Germany, who alleviated or managed hay febrile affection and allergy-related asthma with a solution of bee pollen and honey It should be noted, however, that a small percentage of the population may be allergic to bee pollen; you should prove by experiment a small amount first and monitor any reaction.

Mainly, however, it is anemophile pollen the wind-borne, helter-skelter mark which can cause allergic difficulties -- pointed on the outside the late Royden Brown in his 1993 work The World's Only Perfect nutrition Entomophile pollens [the type with which counterpart preparations are made], on the other hand, "hitch a ride forward the insects, primarily the honeybees, who forage among their blossoms" and do not typically cause difficulties for people

In addition, human and animal experiments point out that bee pollen can: (1) rev up energy; (2) help us cope with diarrhea and constipation; (3) tranquilize patients without side effects; (4) increase the amount of posterity hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying, iron-containing pigment in r line cells) -- especially in anemic patients; (5) rid the material substance of accumulated toxins caused by means of drugs, alcohol, smoking, junk victualss and stress; and (6) chelate and flush without artery-clogging biochemical deposits.
