One protein may be used with either the vegetable or the fruit salad. The natural proteins are: Ripe olives, avocados, nuts, cottage cheese, buttermilk, soybean milk, gluten in any form, dairy milk, eggs, wheat germ, beans, peas and lentils. The ten first on this list combine well with fruits as well as other foods; the others combine with vegetables. In variety for each meal, the above is the utmost limit. Forever Bee Pollen additionally accommodates vitamins D, E, K, and Beta Carotene (vitamin A), plus numerous minerals, enzymes and coenzymes, plant-source fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and 22 amino acids – together with all eight “essential” amino acids that the body can’t manufacture for itself. If one is troubled with accumulation of gas after meals, a smaller variety would be preferred. A large variety should be chosen from day to day, but not at the same meal.

Mineral Value of Fruits and Vegetables. Because they are comparatively low in caloric value, fruits and vegetables are sometimes looked upon as of minor importance in the consideration of food values, but on giving study to the subject, it is found that they exceed in value, in some respects, the more highly condensed articles of diet. Since vegetables may be more largely depended upon, we will consider these first. The Irish potato, the hardshell winter squash, and the sweet potato yield approximately the same in energy as beef and chicken. But probably the greatest value which vegetables yield is found in their alkalizing qualities and vitamin and mineral content. The American dietary, as a rule, consists so largely of the acid forming foods, such as beef and various other kinds of meat, eggs, and cereals, that the use of vegetables becomes a real necessity, and they should be used much more freely than they are. Medicine. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley said: “Foods will be the medicine of the future.” Now, some may wonder how food can become “medicine” so we will first state that drugs, so used, are worse than useless—they are positively injurious—and will then show how foods do overcome disease.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes humorously wrote: “If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would be bad for the fish, but good for humanity.” When lime is needed in the body in case of a deficiency in this mineral, we find it in greatest abundance in the leafy vegetables and dairy products, and in the organic form ready for assimilation. When there is a lack of iodine, as indicated by the enlarged thyroid (goiter), we go to the vegetables for iodine in its most assimilable form as found in kelp and agar and some other plants. Strained honey is honey which has been handed by means of a mesh materials to take away particulate materials (pieces of wax, Forever Bee Propolis, different defects) with out eradicating pollen, minerals or invaluable enzymes. If iron is the substance lacking, as is shown in anemia and some other chronic ailments, we must again find the needed mineral in the vegetable world,—in lima beans, peas, carrots, beets, and the greenest portions of the leaves that are used as food. For example, the outer green leaves of the cabbage contain four times more iron than the bleached inside ones. And so throughout the entire list of the minerals, we must look to plant life for these life sustaining elements in a form most easily digested and assimilated.
