Opinion
For
those of you that know me, or have been a client of mine, you will know my love
for super foods! I am always on the look out for something new and amazingly
beneficial for the body. I agree that some supplements are great, but the
reason, in my belief that super foods excel in the Nutrition category is
because the body recognises super foods as a food. So will absorb what it
needs. Plus it’s a natural product that will drench each and every cell with
goodness! I have talked a lot about Bee Pollen in the past, which is an amazing
super food that I love for all kinds of ailments. It’s especially good this
time of year when hay fever is rife. However there is another little gem in the
wings that is actually nothing new in the world of Chinese medicine, but is
fast becoming one of the best super foods in our western world for its
unbelievable health benefits. This little gem is called Pine Pollen.
I
have so many clients coming to me with hormonal imbalances around the age of 35
and upward. We are all subject to toxins in the environment that produce
estrogen, resulting in potential fertility issues, benign fibroid growths and
breast cancer, and both men, as well as women, usually by the age of 50 produce
significantly less testosterone. This is especially true after male andropause
and female menopause. However, consuming androgenic foods, like pine pollen,
helps to balance these higher amounts of xenoestrogens, balancing both
testosterone and estrogen equally, which is highly beneficial. Generally,
pollen extract is not recommended for children and should be avoided by male
adolescences, which on average naturally produce healthy amounts of
testosterone.
In
mid-life, when you perhaps need a bit of a boost, it’s important to remember
that testosterone is not only good for increasing sex drive but also helps to
promote feelings of well-being, uplifts the mood and stimulates a sense of will
power and enthusiasm for life. Containing a substance called phenylalanine, an
L-dopa precursor, which helps to stimulate dopamine levels in the brain; it is
additionally believed to act as a natural antidepressant. In the world that we
live in today, with 1 in 6 people being prescribed antidepressants, is it not
worth trying this wonderful super food first to see how you feel?
There
are so many other health benefits to add to the list. Pine pollen is considered
a highly nutritious food providing a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, all
essential amino acids and immune system boosting antioxidants. Containing folic
acid and other B vitamins, beta-carotene, Vit. E, selenium, calcium, iron,
magnesium, nucleic acids, living enzymes, MSM, polysaccharides, essential fatty
acids and a great source of vitamin D3. And if you are all about slowing the
aging process down, you may be interested to know that Pine Pollen helps to
build keratin and collagen, two compounds essential for healthy nails, hair and
skin tissue.
The
powder can be also be used externally by adding it to an oil or cream and used
for eczema, rashes or even acne. The pollen is known among Asian women for its
beautifying effects, contributing to smooth and youthful looking skin, when
used both topically or consumed as a powder. Because the pollen is comprised of
the sulphuric compound known as MSM, it additionally acts as a powerful natural
anti-inflammatory agent and pain reliever, especially for the joints and
conditions like arthritis and chronic inflammatory disorders.
Does Pine Pollen Cause Allergies?
Those
who are in an atmosphere filled with pine pollen dust, can’t help but inhale or
take it in indirectly. But, although these pollens are found in abundance, they
are not the common cause of hay fever or allergy symptoms, like ragweeds or
other tree or grass species. Pine tree pollen is produced in large amounts by a
common tree, but it is not a major cause of pollen allergies for most people.
This is because the components in pine pollen are less likely to cause an
allergic reaction. This is thought to be due to its relatively large-sized
molecule and low antigenicity effects or the capacity to induce immune
response. If you have health challenges and would like a personalized
