Bee Pollen and Longevity

Many of us already know about the benefits of bee pollen. This substance a mixture of honey and pollen collected by bees, fed by bees to their larvae contains an incredibly wide array of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other nutrients essential to life. Various studies have shown that bee pollen can be beneficial to our health: that it increases our stamina and endurance, helps us cope with stress, builds resistance to allergies, and strengthens our immune system. Some studies even suggest that can aid in the treatment of cancer.

Some doctors have reported that pollen has a biological effect on our cells, preventing the premature aging of cells and promoting the growth of new cell tissue. This process stimulates the flow of blood to skin cells and smoothes away wrinkles. And further, some studies suggest that might help us live longer.

Some researchers theorize that “natural aging” may not be all that natural that we, in fact, tend to age prematurely because of our habits, and that longer lives are within our reach. Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling and others have reported that Vitamin C, taken on a regular basis, can extend life for a decade or more. And unhealthy habits and environments — such as excessive sunlight, fatty foods and food additives, cigarettes, and air pollution — can damage our tissues, and shorten our lives.

It is also needed for gene expression, metabolism, decarboxylation, urination, racemization, and transamination. It also keeps the methionine and cysteine enzymes at healthy levels. It is also required to turn tryptophan into niacin and serotonin in the body. Vitamin B6 is also required to help make histamine, GABA, glueconeogenesis, sphingolipids, and dopamine.
