The Superfood Experiment! Bee Products!

Ok – I had no idea how amazing bee products were for you. The only other superfood that comes close to this superfood is Cacao and we know how great that is ….

So the products we are going to go through are Honey, Pollen, Propolis and Royal Jelly –

Honey - in its organic/wild raw unfiltered state is rich in minerals, antioxidants, and is made from the nectar that bees sip from flower blossoms. According to research conducted in Russia, raw unprocessed honey is nature’s richest source of live healing enzymes, and increases reflexes, mental alertness and even IQ…..(pg 88)

Bee Pollen - is the most complete superfood in nature containing vitamin B-9 and all twenty-two essential amino acids. The high amount of antioxidants in Bee Pollen can help increase longevity by neutralizing free radicals. Pollen is said to be able to reduce prostate problems, increase strength, endurance, energy and speed. It is also said to reduce the production of histamine which helps neutralize allergies, help with anemia, constipation, colitis, sinusitis, asthma and bronchitis – this one is a keeper for me… (pg 90-92)

Royal Jelly – is made from the combination of pollen and honey, and is the only determining factor in the development of a queen bee from the other lava. Also the queen bee’s life span is four to five years, which is much longer than the worker bee’s life of 3 months. Royal Jelly is called the “fountain of youth and beauty”. It is rejuvenating, regenerating, inhibits the aging process, maintains skin tone, and promotes sexual vitality. It is also effective in treating glandular and hormonal imbalances, including those caused by menstrual or prostate problems, etc, etc…. Ok – I think this one is a must add to my list of products - Amazing!! (pg 93-4)

Propolis - is a waxy substance that seals the hive. It is an immune supporting and antibacterial substance, and protects the bees against bacterial viruses. It is rich in minerals, amino acids, fats, vitamin C and E, vitamin A, B-complex and bioflavonoids, which mend and strengthen blood vessels and capillaries (pg 96)

Thursday and Saturday – Spirulina –  protein queen, AFA Super Blue-Green Algae and Marine Phytoplankton – these guys will blow your mind – stay tuned!
