Orginally I purchased bee pollen to build up my nervous system and help my tremors. Which by the way are so much better, they are the worst in the morning. Then I took a book out from the library called Superfoods: The Food and Medicine of the Future by David Wolfe.

It turns out bee products are a superfood, it is known to be one of the top, and a great source for concentrated nutrition. With our diets being mostly acidic it is good to know that bee pollen is an alkaline. This superfood does so much an entire book could be written on it. Without all the details here is what I learned about bee pollen from the book, which I will be buying. This is a must have book for anyone seeking a healthy life naturally, and includes recipes. So, here are the health benefits in simple form.

I add bee pollen to just about everything soup, egg salad, baked potato, stews, salads, just have not figured out how to add it to my fish yet. Hiding superfoods in other foods is a great way to reap their benefits, for kids too, I added some to the 17 year old's omelet yesterday, he never knew it.

When purchasing any bee product make sure it is organic. Many bee keepers are not kind to their bees and even feed them high fructose corn syrup to keep them making honey out of season. If you don't know high fructose corn syrup is made from corn which is 96% genetically engineered. Not only that, but during processing the syrup becomes contaminate with mercury. A heavy metal that our bodies can not naturally get rid of, and causes havoc on our bodies. I bought mine from Mountain Rose Herbs, affiliate link on the right, please use the link if you are going to order it helps to feed our two teen boys organic.




Also included in the book are Goji berries, cacao, maca, spirulina, AFA blue-green algae, marine phytoplankton, aloe vera, hempseed, and coconuts. There are recipes for each one of these superfoods with some containing multiple superfoods. The book states that if we all started eating a variety of these superfoods we would all be healthy, I'm in.
