Natural Superfoods to Boost Immunity During Rough Times
Special to The Truth
A strong immune system can
help you stay healthy, which is especially important during
cold and flu season and the ongoing pandemic.
To strengthen your
immunity this winter and beyond, consider relying on the
unique benefits of propolis, a natural bee product collected
from the buds, leaves and stems of plants. With its
antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties, it’s
been used as a natural remedy for centuries. Here’s a bit
more about what propolis is and how to maximize its
benefits.
• Consume propolis: It’s
important to know that propolis needs to be extracted
through a complex method to consume. Consider incorporating
a product such as BEE&YOU Water Soluble Propolis 15 percent
Extract, which uses a patented and awarded extraction
technology. This particular extract has three times more
antioxidant and antibacterial activity than the
highest-grade Manuka honey and has 80 times more antioxidant
than pomegranate juice. Compared to similar products,
BEE&YOU Water Soluble Propolis 15 percent Extract has a
minimum three times more phenolics and flavonoids. It has a
natural taste and is free of drugs, pesticides, GMOs,
gluten, alcohol, artificial flavorings and colors, and
sweeteners, making it convenient for any diet. Simply add 20
drops to your favorite drink daily. Or, for a chewable
option, try the brand’s Royal Jelly Bee Pollen Propolis
Tablets, which in addition to boosting immunity and energy,
support cognitive, cardiovascular and digestive health.
“Though it’s the strongest
natural antioxidant, many people are unfamiliar with
propolis. However, adding this superfood into your daily
routine can help you stay healthy year-around,” says Dr.
Aslı Samancı, a food scientist and the founder of BEE&YOU,
who developed an award-winning extraction technology for
propolis to cure her five-year-old son’s autoimmune illness.
• Take propolis wherever
you go: Propolis is such a strong antiviral and
antibacterial bee product that Dr. Aslı Samancı suggests
taking it with you wherever you go. For an antioxidant-rich,
detoxifying and multi-effect snack, consider this quick
delicious recipe: mix 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, raw
honey, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon
turmeric and 10 drops of propolis into yogurt. These
ingredients, when taken together, have a synergistic effect.
Plus, ginger, apple cider vinegar and turmeric are good
sources of vitamin C. Or, carry BEE&YOU On-The-Go Immune
Support & On-The-Go Detox packs in your bag, which combine
the above ingredients.
• Use it as a natural
remedy: Even with strong immunity, it can be easy to pick up
a bug that gives you a sore throat, particularly during cold
and flu season. Propolis is like a natural barrier for your
throat against viruses and bacteria. For fast recovery and
relief, keep BEE&YOU Propolis Raw Honey Throat Spray
on-hand, which provides antiviral and antibacterial activity
to protect and soothe sore throat while boosting immunity,
and can also be used to relieve allergy symptoms.
• Add superfoods in your
diet: “We are what we eat. 50% of our health is related to
our diet,” says Dr. Aslı Samancı.
It’s very important to
have a balanced diet with enough vitamins, minerals,
antioxidants, amino acids, proteins, fiber, enzymes, lipids,
and carbohydrates daily. Include natural superfoods like
artichokes, onions, broccoli, quinoa, kale, black garlic,
berries, propolis, royal jelly, pollen and raw honey. These
superfoods are rich in essential amino acids, vitamins (A,
D, E, K, C and B groups), and minerals like zinc, magnesium,
selenium, iron and calcium, plus they have antioxidant
effects.
