Happy Families Digestive and Nutrition

It seems Methuselah – who lived 900 years – was on to something. He probably ate honey and bee pollen. That, at least, is the conclusion drawn from a study of 125+ year olds thriving in Georgia (Russia.)

"All of the 200 or more people past 125 years of age in Georgia, without exception, state that their principal food is pollen and honey - mostly pollen," says the chief scientist at the Longevity Academy which researched the region’s unusually high number of centenarians.

Recent research confirms bees produce some of nature’s most nutritional substances during their springtime dance amidst the flowers.

What is Bee Pollen?

Bee pollen is the golden-colored dust gathered by bees from the stamens of flowers as they forage for nectar. Bees collect about 20kg of pollen every year - that’s 1 million pollen loads at 20mg a go.

• Chelates and flushes out artery-clogging biochemical deposits
• Has five to seven times more protein than beef

What Is Honey?

Honey is nectar collected by bees and transformed by an awful lot of hard bee work. Consider that it takes nectar from 2 million flowers and over 55,000 miles in flight to make a single pound of honey. A bee in her entire life, of five weeks, can hardly make more than a teaspoon of honey.

The nectar honey bees deposit in the honeycomb is 90% water. Transforming it to honey takes evaporation from wing vibrations of countless bees for endless hours.

Honey’s Nutritional Benefits

What is Active Manuka UMF?

Recent research has confirmed that dark colored honeys have higher nutritional content than lighter ones. Active Manuka honey is a golden New Zealand wild bush honey which has been shown to have extra special antibacterial activity.

World honey expert Dr Peter Molan has shown Active Manuka Honey was eight times more effective against the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers (h. pylori) than other honeys.

Not all manuka honey has the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF.) To be UMF-rated manuka honey must have been independently laboratory tested to prove it contains unusually high antibacterial activity.
