What is pollen
Pollen is a structure unique to seed plants, equivalent to a microspore and the pre-male gametophytes developed by it. Pollen is the male cell of a plant, also known as the "sperm" of a plant, and is the essence of plant life. It has high nutritional value and medicinal value and is a natural health product.
Pollen has a wide range of functions. Professor Ye Jiequan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a famous medical scientist, believes that "pollen is a most nutritious dietary therapy product, which has the effects of strengthening physical strength, enhancing spirit, rapidly eliminating fatigue, beauty and anti-aging." Specifically, it has the following functions.
1. Enhance the human comprehensive immune function: Pollen polysaccharides can activate the phagocytic activity of macrophages and improve the body's disease resistance. Strengthen physical fitness, eliminate fatigue, and improve body immunity. Many foreign athletes often eat pollen, and the State Sports Commission officially designated pollen as a health food for Chinese athletes.
2. Anti-aging and beauty effects: Bee pollen is a nutritious beauty cosmetic. The VE, superoxidized dismutase (SOD), selenium and other ingredients in pollen can nourish the skin, restore the elasticity and smoothness of the skin. Inositol in pollen can make gray hair black and gradually lose hair, keep hair black and shiny.
3. Prevent and treat cerebral and cardiovascular diseases: Flavonoids in pollen can effectively eliminate the deposition of fat on the blood vessel walls, thereby softening blood vessels and lowering blood lipids.
4. Regulate the nervous system and promote sleep.
5. Prevent and treat prostate diseases: Pollen is the nemesis of prostatitis, and rape pollen is the best effect. The treatment of prostate diseases is made of pollen. It is recommended to use acacia flower honey with Ji'antang rapeseed pollen to have the best effect, which is a natural treatment for prostate diseases.
6. Weight loss: Taking bee pollen can absorb enough nutrients and create a feeling of fullness. At the same time, lecithin in pollen can burn excess fat to achieve the purpose of losing weight.
7. Regulate gastrointestinal function: Pollen has many bactericidal ingredients, which can kill E. coli, etc., and can prevent and treat constipation.
8. Protect the liver and protect the liver: Flavonoids in pollen can also prevent fat from depositing on the liver.
9. Assisted treatment of other diseases: Pollen has good effects on anemia, diabetes, memory improvement, menopause disorders, etc.
How to eat pollen
1. How to eat: First, eat directly, that is, eat pollen directly to the population. The method is to pour the dry powder directly into the mouth and then use warm boiled water at a temperature not higher than 40℃. This method may be a little uncomfortable at first, and you can adapt after eating it a few times. This is the most convenient and easiest method. In addition, there are also processed products such as pollen capsules, pollen tablets, compound pollen preparations, pollen oral liquids, which are also eaten directly. The second is to mix and eat, that is, stir the pollen and honey (or thick water of white sugar) in a ratio of 1:1 to 2 to reduce the odor of the original pollen and make the taste good. Then use warm boiled water to take it. Some people eat pollen in porridge, which is also very convenient, but it should be noted that the temperature of the porridge should not be higher than 40℃; some can be put into milk or drink together, or can be soaked in wine and drink together. According to literature, Japanese people often use pollen to drink, and they are also added to yogurt or sprinkled on cold dishes. Nordic hotels often prepare pollen on the dining table to eat freely. In the United States, pollen is mixed with ice cream, milk, egg and milk drinks and broth. However, be careful not to heat the pollen at high temperature. If it is a dry hard clump, you can soak it in warm boiled water until it is soft or mashed before eating.
2. Eating time: Practice shows that the best time to eat is to eat on an empty stomach 15 to 30 minutes before breakfast every day, because it is easy to absorb on an empty stomach. The treatment dose is relatively large, and it is best to eat it in 2 to 3 times. The first time is before breakfast, the second or third time is 15 to 30 minutes before lunch or dinner, or it can also be eaten once before going to bed. It is best to divide pollen into 2 to 3 times for children.
3. Edible cycle: According to domestic and foreign therapeutic practice observations, pollen must be consumed at least 1 to 2 weeks for treatment. Generally, it should be consumed for 15 to 30 days for a course of treatment to achieve better results, because pollen dietary therapy is relatively slow and cannot be immediately effective. Some difficult or chronic diseases may even last for several months or longer. If you are a general body to strengthen your body and improve your physical fitness, you don’t have to strictly follow the above requirements. You can eat it frequently if you have the conditions, but the amount you eat is smaller.
Side effects of pollen: Pollen is a health supplement, so I personally believe that eating a small amount for a long time is the best way to eat it. The autoimmune system is the best defense system, and you can eat all kinds of immunity-enhancing products appropriately. Never eat in large quantities for a long time, as the immune system is spoiled and there will be big problems.
After reading the answer to the above detailed answer to the function and efficacy of pollen, I believe that all friends have a general understanding and understanding of pollen. Pollen does have good medicinal value and good beauty value, but everyone should pay attention to the time when eating. The best time to eat is to eat it on an empty stomach 15 to 30 minutes before breakfast, so everyone should pay attention.
