Nothing can replace a healthy diet, and we all need to look long and hard at the food we eat, and our lifestyles, if we expect to live a long and happy life. We all know that natural, raw foods are best, and bee pollen is the epitome of a complete food.

NatureBee’s bee pollen has many health benefits, not the least of which is its super-efficient anti-inflammatory effect. Not only can this help prevent disease, it may even help to slow the aging process. Bee pollen is also a remarkable antioxidant. Antioxidants work to neutralise and stabilise reactive oxygen molecules, and science has proven that bee pollen is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants.

Bee pollen also has antimicrobial and antiviral properties, and it has a regulating effect on the body’s immune system, helping improve various allergic diseases, and combating autoimmune attacks.  Bee pollen is particularly helpful during seasonal changes, and can help prevent or reduce the severity of winter related ailments. Those suffering from recurring colds and respiratory infections will benefit from taking bee pollen.

Bee pollen’s extraordinary nutritional profile means your body will be ingesting the essential nutrients it needs for perfect function. Nutrient deficiency is one of the main causes of lack of energy, so taking bee pollen every day fills those nutritional gaps and increases your energy and vitality. For some, this can be a slow process, but many people notice an improvement within days.

Bee pollen contains rutin, which has a fortifying effect on the heart, blood vessels and capillaries and can help prevent phlebitis (inflammation of veins which can cause blood clots). It regulates blood circulation and helps to balance the cardiac rhythm. Taking bee pollen every day can help support your body in fighting arterial tension and arteriosclerosis, and it can also reduce bad cholesterol and regulate triglycerides.  Pollen also helps sustain the production of red blood cells and thus has an anti-anaemic action.

Bee pollen can also work well in a weight management programme by correcting possible chemical imbalances in your body’s metabolism. Bee pollen increases the metabolic processes and speeds calorie burn, and it also contains lecithin which helps dissolve and flush fat from your body.
