Pollen consumption. Bee pollen - useful properties, how to take. Rules for taking bee pollen

Dear readers, I congratulate you on the first spring days. It's so nice that we can enjoy the colors again, sunny days and lift your spirits. But it is in the spring that we lack vitamins so much. Everyone is faced with this, and everyone is well aware of this.

What are we doing? AT best case we prepare for ourselves something from folk recipes, and often we just go to the pharmacy and buy vitamin complexes. Who can afford anything - from the most inexpensive to Vitrum, Centrum and many other popular brands. But is there something alive in these vitamins? is always a question for me. Someone supports himself with dietary supplements. Also very good.

Today I want to draw your attention to the simplest, probably, and very effective remedy for our health. It will be about pollen. Often we forget about the unique products donated to us by workers - bees. All honey products are good for our health (assuming you are not allergic to them, of course). But flower pollen occupies here too special place. This is food that has no price. Probably everyone heard about it, let's talk about everything in detail.

What does she represent? These are such small grains covered with a shell. Pollen differs in color, shape and size in different plants. Pollen is often referred to as pollen. And all because the bees collect it in baskets, which are located on the rearmost "legs" of the bee.

How to take flower pollen?

The recommended daily dose is 2 teaspoons of flower pollen for 2-3 doses, dissolving the grains in the mouth. Dissolve slowly, like a lollipop. This moment is very important, because. swallowing it simply or drinking it with water means not getting all the useful pollen.

The flower pollen itself is sometimes bitter, so it can be taken with the same amount of honey, also dissolving in the mouth. Take half an hour before meals without drinking anything. After taking pollen, you can not eat or drink for about half an hour. The bitterness of flower pollen is explained by the fact that bees collect everything from bird cherry. No matter how much I bought, I did not feel any bitterness.

Please note that the last dose of it should not be 2 hours before bedtime, because. pollen has a tonic effect.

We find out how bee bread differs from pollen, and compare the value of these two products. Storage issues are considered, as well as five useful recipes.

Everyone knows that bee pollen lowers arterial pressure. Therefore, if it is taken before meals, then a person who did not have health problems will have to be soldered with hot tea. If we are treating liver diseases, it is necessary to take bee pollen in the afternoon, and in case of hypertension, the indications for use will be different. Pollen collected by bees has medicinal properties that have been known for many centuries in a row. Well, we will try to study these properties, not forgetting about contraindications.

The ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates

Flower pollen can be collected from certain plant species. These plants are called "pollens". They do not include, for example, coniferous shrubs and trees - spruce, pine, etc.

And usually one plant is the pollen bearer. In spring it will be birch or willow, then sunflower, wormwood, white clover or acacia. The transfer of pollen to long distances is difficult, and when collecting, the bees roll it into balls, forming a “flap”. In the photo you can see what the willow trim looks like.

In the hive, the pollen is sent to cells treated with propolis. It is compacted and preserved with honey. So flower pollen turns into perga, which a person can use for medicinal purposes.

Product in the form of granules

Storage of bee bread in combs is permissible at a temperature of 2-8 C. But you can also buy a healing product in the form of granules, which are stored in a cool, dry place. The refrigerator will not work - you need low humidity.

Perga and pollen are characterized by different indicators nutritional value. The comparison is shown in the table.

As you can see, bee bread consists of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, combined in the proportion of "37 to 4 to 59". And, in general, even with diabetes, the use of bee pollen is not contraindicated:

According to many recipes, pollen should only be taken with honey;
If the person taking the medicine suffers from diabetes, one rule must be followed: the amount of honey should not exceed 40-50 grams per day.

Allergy will be the main and only contraindication.

Pollen is not prescribed and treatment is not carried out in two cases: when we are talking about allergies or about children under four years of age.

The child is not afraid of bees

For kids different ages determine the maximum dosage:

4-7 years - no more than 1 gram per day;
7-9 - 1.5 grams;
9-12 – 2,5.

And you also need to know that children can use bee pollen in short courses: one week with a break of 5-7 days. For the age of 9-12 years, the period is doubled.

Application features

Bee pollen or bee pollen is suitable for consumption without any processing. The granules simply dissolve without washing them down with anything. You can eat pollen in another way - the ground product is mixed with water or honey.

Honey in a water bath

It is clear that the honey solution will not be drinkable, so it is also mixed with water. But this is not always acceptable:

Bee pollen (perga) is mixed with an equal amount of honey;
The finished medicinal product will need to be absorbed without drinking. Reception time - 30 minutes before a meal or an hour after (a teaspoon).

This recipe helps with chronic kidney disease.

After "bee processing" the consistency of pollen resembles glass. Small particles of this product should not get stuck in the esophagus - mixing must be done carefully! However, bee pollen is now sold in the form of capsules. Their contents are 100% suitable for our purposes.

Yet, how to take flower pollen correctly? There are two options:

If the preparation of mixtures is provided, it will be enough to buy capsules;
In general, the benefits of bee pollen will not be maximum if it has to be mixed with something. How to use bee bread in granules, we have already said.

Various bee products - pollen, honey and wax - all of them can be used in pure form.

Perga in honeycombs

For example, by sucking bee bread before meals twice a day, prostate adenoma can be cured.

In the latter case, the daily dosage is 15-20 grams. You can use the same recipe to strengthen immunity. But then the dosage is halved. The duration of the course is one month.

A few words about the benefits

Only honey has beneficial properties. So we thought before, and now we will consider the table.

Pollen of cultivated plants - pears, food chestnuts, poppies and all cereals - is of particular benefit. This also includes willow, plantain and heather.

Vitamin B5 can heal acne. That is, pantothenic acid more than useful both in pollen and on its own.

That's how eels are made

What is a beauty vitamin? It is, of course, biotin. But flower pollen benefits are not only in the treatment of skin.

VitaminPPregulates cholesterol levels. It is found in yeast, milk, liver ... This means that the nature of this vitamin is far from flowery, and pollen has no contraindications for diabetes. On the contrary, it is suitable for the prevention of diseases associated with metabolism.

Essential amino acids

In general, flower pollen will have many useful properties. And some of them are due to the presence of amino acids (see graph).

Now let's study the mineral composition. If you regularly eat flower pollen, the balance of the following substances is restored:

Macroelements - potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfur, phosphorus and chlorine;
Trace elements - vanadium, iron, cobalt, manganese, copper, molybdenum, chromium, zinc.

The total number of macro- and microelements will be 28. In total, exactly 77 of them have been discovered. Bee pollen is not so useful, the reader will say. And he will be right: there is no panacea, and the product in question has a strong narrowly focused effect.

Common Mistakes

In flower pollen, the application can be external and internal. In the first case, so-called masks are prepared. Wrong, erroneously selected composition will not allow you to get the effect. And increasing the concentration of some components will only exacerbate the problem.

Rejuvenating mask ingredients

Masks with propolis are useful for skin health. But they must be used carefully:

You can apply the composition on the skin of the face for 10-15 minutes;
Frequency of application - 1-2 times a week.

Bee pollen loses its beneficial properties and becomes dangerous if the mixture is heated to 50 C or more.

About the number and time of appointments

How to take bee bread on an empty stomach, if we are not talking about hypertension? First, the weight healing product should not exceed 4-5 grams. Perga is dissolved in boiled water, then insist for three hours. All this is done in advance, before you eat the medicine.

Healing infusion with water

This recipe is suitable for the treatment of enteritis and colitis: the mixture is taken three times a day 20 minutes before meals.

At hypertension pressure is increased. And then the amount of perga is increased to 6-8 grams.

Bee pollen with honey

Hypotension is treated with the same medicine, but mixed with honey. The proportion is “1 to 1”, and take “ honey mixture» should be 40 minutes after eating. This means that the same person can benefit and harm from pollen, depending on the choice of recipe.

If you manage to buy not bee bread, but pollen, take it a teaspoon a day - this will be useful for immunity. To speed up the treatment of tuberculosis, the number of doses is increased to three per day.

What Not to Do

In bee pollen, the use will be different depending on the form of its supply. Without grinding, you can only insist in water. If the basis of the mixture is honey, it should not be candied. True, candied honey can be made liquid, for which it is heated to 40-45 C.

Six products of beekeeping

The pollen granules should not be swallowed. The same applies to perga.

Now we list to whom pollen is contraindicated. Let's say a perga was bought, or maybe a bee pollen, but pollen will have the same contraindications that do not depend on the "form of delivery":

Age up to 4 years;
Allergy;
High or low blood pressure, depending on the recipe chosen.

Details on pressure are discussed in the previous chapter. Be careful!

Briefly - about poisonous pollen

Poisonous bee pollen kills, but it is harmless to humans, if we are not talking about kilograms of the product. The bees simply will not collect a bee in such an amount. And in general, if we talk about the transfer of "poisons", the individual dies 3 days after the start of the collection.

Results of poisoning

Bee pollen in honeycombs may contain harmful pollen, but only in a minimal amount. Let's see why.

"Poisonous" flower pollen will be produced in 1-2 weeks. Suppose the collection was stopped, then it resumes, but by that time there will be no trace of the "poisons". The point is that bee bread should be bought in its pure form. If the granules are different or they break in half, this will be a sign of the death of bees.

We repeat once again: "harmful" bee pollen can kill, but not a person. In order for any symptoms to appear, you need to swallow great amount"harmful" bumps...

Obnozhka and perga of different varieties

Quality rating

Bee pollen or bee pollen varies by variety. Each variety has its own quality level.

In bee bread, different granules are compressed. And that means they mix.

The question of how to store flower pollen or pollen has not been considered. But there are no standard guidelines.

Cover for sale

The fact is that the product contains a huge amount of moisture. Long term storage will not be possible.

Let's sum it up - let's compare the pollen and bee bread. It seems that their useful properties and contraindications will be the same. But then everything would look too simple.

During storage, moisture evaporates and the product will harden. And pollen, that is, bee pollen, will lose its beneficial properties.

Know that only contraindications can be the same.

Video with a story about bee products

There is an opinion that pollen is the second most popular bee product after honey. It's probably fair. Bee pollen or preparations based on it can be bought in ordinary or specialized pharmacies, in specialty stores and at fairs, just from familiar beekeepers. To understand why a person should use this product and what are its beneficial properties, you must first understand a little what it is.

From flower to bee house

Even people who have never been to an apiary are familiar with the picture: a bee with yellow balls on its hind legs hurriedly climbs into the entrance of the hive. Such a sweet, life-affirming spectacle is replicated in films, photographs, even in advertising.

Bees collect pollen by flying from flower to flower and knocking it down to their hind legs, on which nature prudently “built” tiny handbags. To prevent the product from spilling out, insects change its properties, pre-wetting it with their saliva, enriched with specific enzymes. It turns out a tight, moist ball - an obnozhka. It keeps tightly in the purse during the flight.

Thus, the properties of pollen differ from ordinary flower pollen only in the presence of bee saliva in it. Such a product is stored by insects in a hive in order to later turn into bee bread - "bread", with which insects feed their offspring.

But how does bee pollen end up in the beekeeper's stocks? Very simple! On the days when the pollen flows into the hive literally in a stream, they install near the notch special device- dust collector. The method of its operation is simple, but effective for collecting obnozhka. Bees are forced to pass through special small holes. Insects squeeze inside the hive, but the beehive still remains in the design of the trap, pouring into small pallets.

In the future, the product is dried in special ovens or simply in dry, hot, but dark rooms. Bee pollen must lose most of its moisture in order to retain its beneficial properties for a long time.

Why is bee pollen valued?

Plant pollen is an amazing product in its composition, it is not for nothing that bees use it to feed children, and folk healers have long used it in their practice. Scientists have identified the following properties and components in the product:

proteins;
various sugars;
carbohydrates;
natural antibiotics;
complex and rare species fats;
several dozen minerals that make up many complex mineral salts;
vitamins, especially group B.

But after all, bee pollen, as already mentioned, is not just a product of plants, it also includes insect saliva. This means that various enzymes and amino acids, as well as biological hormones, can be safely added to the listed useful substances. It is very rich in routine, which is why it is so useful for treating and strengthening the work of the heart.

In a small article, it is difficult to list all the properties that have brought people's recognition of this nutritional supplement. Here are just a few of its benefits:

bee pollen is a powerful immunostimulant;
it is able to saturate the human body with rare substances that are not produced by the body itself;
bee pollen has a pronounced antibacterial effect;
it has properties to quickly and effectively improve blood quality;
due to the abundance of vitamins and enzymes stimulates sexual attraction in men;
in combination with honey, it is useful to use it in the treatment of colds, acute respiratory infections, and other viral diseases;
at therapeutic fasting the use of pollen perfectly compensates for the lack of proteins and complex fats in the body.

There are also contraindications in the use of bee pollen, they will be discussed a little later.

Methods of use

Most often, the product is consumed either in dried form or mixed with honey. Bee pollen can keep its properties at room temperature for at least a year, in the refrigerator - up to two years or more. Contraindications for its storage - high humidity, heat, exposure to sunlight.

Often obnozhka is mixed with honey in a ratio of approximately 1:1, in this form it can be stored much longer.

It is best to use one or two teaspoons of pollen on an empty stomach in the morning for treatment or prophylaxis. It is advisable not to swallow it immediately, but slowly dissolve until it practically disappears in the mouth. Human gastric juice sharply reduces its useful properties. Drinking pollen is also not recommended, but if it is too unpleasant, you can take a few sips of clean warm water.

It is better for children to give more sweet product for which it is mixed with honey. In this form, the product is also recommended for people who are too unpleasant for its bitter natural taste.

There are contraindications. It is best not to give the product to children under 5 years of age at all. Toddlers are recommended an amount 3-4 times less than adults.

cosmetic problems: it is recommended to use in combination with honey and drone homogenate.

As already mentioned, bee pollen has its contraindications. First of all, it should not be used by people who are allergic to flowers. Also, it should not be given to young children. For pregnant women, on the contrary, there are no contraindications, pollen is very useful for them.

It is also very careful to take the product in the presence of diabetes. Contraindications for use also exist when a person has regular bleeding, because the product thins the blood, reduces its clotting.

The collected bee powder is treated with the secret of the jaw glands, moistened with nectar and formed into baskets, which are sticky lumps located in the area of \u200b\u200bthe legs.

By the way, the name "obnozhka" comes from the location of pollen around the legs of the insect. Next, the bee goes to the hive to leave its prey. She puts the collected pollen into cells, making her way through the pollen-selecting grate, and losing her prey in that place. Then the bee flies again in search of pollen. Thus, the pollen enters the tray through the grate.

Surprisingly, the bee is so industrious that in one day she makes 50 sorties. At the same time, it visits 600 flowers, collecting pollen from them. To collect 1 kg of pollen, one bee needs to fly 50 thousand times.
