How The Bee Can Improve Your Immune System And General Health
Most people shy away from bees, fearing a sting; but bees are one of man’s greatest benefactors. As well as honey (the only food that doesn’t need a ‘sell by’ date as it never goes off), bees give us bee pollen, bee propolis, and royal jelly.
spinIt is a remarkable fact that the human body can survive indefinitely by taking bee pollen tablets, sufficient water and some fibre. Sci-fi films used to show the astronauts just taking a pill as a meal – well, that pill must be a bee pollen tablet! Such is the goodness contained in the daily dose that bee pollen is used in our detox program – your body may be starved of calories but not of the necessary nourishment. Bee pollen is also used by athletes and anyone wanting increased energy and stamina. The high levels of zinc and vitamin B6 also makes bee pollen beneficial to those suffering from depression and PMT.|Although I wouldn’t recommend it, the human body can survive indefinitely by eating bee pollen tablets, some fiber and drinking plenty of water. Those sci-fi movies where astronauts survive by eating pills must be taking bee pollen! Bee pollen is popular with athletes who need extra energy and stamina; and we use it in our detox program when your body’s intake of calories is greatly reduced but nourishment levels remain high. In addition, the high levels of zinc and vitamin B6 means bee pollen is beneficial to those suffering from PMT and depression.|Bee pollen is dust gathered from flowers by bees who take it back to their hives. The qualities of bee pollen are quite remarkable: our bodies can survive indefinitely by taking bee pollen tablets, a little fiber, and plenty of water. Those movies where astronauts survive by just eating tablets must be taking bee pollen! Our popular detox program greatly cuts down on the body’s calorie intake but bee pollen tablets provide all the nourishment required to lose weight healthily. The high levels of vitamin B6 and zinc also mean anyone suffering from depression or PMT will also benefit for taking this supplement.[/spin]
Few people are aware that the inside of a beehive has fewer germs than our most sterile operating theaters. Bees line the inside of their hives with propolis, a sticky resin which they gather from trees and then they metabolize it. Taken in tablet form, propolis is one of nature’s most effective antibiotics which will boost your immune system and mitigate the effects of colds, coughs and influenza.
Hospitals are finding it increasingly difficult to keep their wards free from various ‘superbugs’, the most feared being MRSA. Other antibiotics seem to be ineffective against MRSA, but it is extremely sensitive to bee propolis.
Another valuable gift given to us by bees is royal jelly. A queen bee will live for about six years, whilst a worker bee will die after 4-6 weeks. The only difference between the two is that queen bees are exclusively fed royal jelly.
Taking a daily supplement of royal jelly will not, of course, lengthen your life in the same way that it does for queen bees. However, adding that to your diet, together with bee propolis and bee pollen with improve your health by strengthening your immune system; and you will benefit from having more energy. So think twice before swatting any bees that appear to threaten you; they actually benefit your health.
