26-27 EARTH DAY DEALS BEYOND PESTICIDES FUNDRAISER 30

Dear park-goers, parents, gardeners, and eaters: As the bees begin to buzz and the tulips bloom, it means that it’s the season of Ladybug Love at Natural Grocers ® . Let’s get outside and dig our hands in the dirt. Let’s connect with the land, where our children hunt dandelions and do summersaults in the grass. And let’s be activists on Earth Day, and every day, starting in our neighborhood shared spaces and backyards, and tracing the food on our plates to the soil that produces it. When we ask you to join us in taking the Ladybug Love Pledge this month, that is what we’re asking. More than one billion pounds of pesticides are used every year in the U.S, and not just in agriculture. These chemicals have been seeping into our parks, playgrounds, lawns, and gardens. At the same time, insects have been declining and fertile topsoil is eroding. Although many factors are involved, the prevalence of toxic agricultural chemicals tops the list. i So why should we care about bugs and soil? Without them, our food web collapses. Insects and soil matter—a lot! Still, most of us aren’t farmers or policymakers, so we can feel a little helpless and disconnected at the end of the day, perhaps. We are, however, ALL eaters and neighbors who call this planet home. We can all choose not to allow toxic pesticides and fertilizers in our backyards. We can create habitats for pollinators, ladybugs, and other insects. And, we can support the kind of farming that doesn’t depend on these chemicals—the kind that is regenerative and organic. We believe there’s hope in choosing to do small things every day! So please, join us in taking the 5th annual Ladybug Love Pledge this April, and let’s make a di erence where we CAN. When you take the pledge, Natural Grocers will donate a dollar to our non-profit partner, Beyond Pesticides, which will help fund the Ladybug Love Our Neighborhoods Project, transitioning local parks to pesticide-free management practices. As Wendell Berry says, “The Earth is what we all have in common.” Let’s look after it together.

ORGANIC HEADQUARTERS ®

FOR THE LOVE OF ORGANICS:

COFFEE By Morgaine Lee “But first, co ee.” For an estimated 150 million Americans, it’s what starts the day out right. The first sip of hot co ee in the morning—it’s incomparable, it’s rich with the scent of nostalgia, it makes you feel a little more alive and ready for the day ahead. Legend has it that the bean we love today was first discovered by a goat farmer in Ethiopia in the 1500s. The farmer found his herd would not sleep through the night after they had eaten co ee cherries, the fruit that contains the co ee bean. He shared his discovery with local monks who began brewing the enlivening bean to stay awake through the night to pray. More than 500 years later, co ee is the third most popular beverage in the world.

Flocking for Java The glory of that first sip may not have such a glorious impact on the environment. In order to meet demands, many co ee farms clear cut areas to make space for more crops. Sun-growing varieties in particular go hand-in-hand with a loss of biodiversity due to this clear cutting, along with a higher likelihood of agrochemical use. However, farms using organic methods plant a variety of crops that create a shady canopy for the co ee plants. Canopy crops not only benefit the co ee plants, but also create a habitat for a diversity of bird populations that provide free pest management. A single bird can save 23 to 65 pounds of co ee per year from pests. Bird-friendly, shade-grown, organic co ee keeps the pesticides out of your morning java—all the more reason to flock to an organic cuppa joe.

From Soil to Mug Co ee bushes nestled beneath canopies of fruit trees growing in the sun, birds floating on the cool breeze overhead, insects and fungi building worlds in the soil below—organic, shade-grown co ee farms are a sight to behold. These farms build nutrient density from the soil to the cup of co ee they produce. Conventional farms that only grow co ee plants in sun-grown conditions deplete the soil and create a greater risk of erosion. Organic farming methods build healthy, biodiverse soil and produce a final product that contains more nutrients. One study found that co ee grown on organic farms had higher levels of many of the beneficial compounds it’s known for compared to co ee grown on conventional farms. Some of these benefits include higher concentrations of flavonoids and other antioxidants that protect the body from free-radical damage. Cuppa Joe on the Brain How do you take your co ee? A dash of cream? A splash of MCT oil? Black to savour the nuance of every note? Any way you prepare it, pour yourself a cuppa and reap the sweet health benefits. Numerous studies have been conducted on the health e ects of co ee and note that as one of the most popular beverages in the world, its impact is far-reaching. Co ee contains a number of beneficial compounds, including antioxidants and polyphenols that support cardiovascular and brain health. The ca eine content in co ee is also credited with cognitive benefits, including supporting memory and reducing the risk of depression. Studies show these compounds support healthy brain function, are neuroprotective, and may reduce the risk of neurodegeneration and conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

Whether you take it black, creamy, or Paleo-style, just make sure your next cup of joe is organic!

UP THE “ANTI” ON YOUR HEALTH WITH QUERCETIN Nature’s super nutrient adds quality health support when and where it matters most By Liz Mueller

You could say that quercetin really ups the “anti” when it comes to supporting whole-body health. As in, anti-oxidant, anti-histamine, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and anti-viral, quintupling its health-promoting e ect on the body and working synergistically with other key nutrients, like zinc and vitamin C, to expand our health span. It’s no wonder quercetin is gaining popularity as a super nutrient. If you’re new to its free-radical scavenging, inflammation-balancing, immune-boosting, brain-protecting, cardiovascular- supporting actions, you’ll soon realize it’s hardly a gamble to add it to the mix.

A RESPIRATORY ROCKSTAR Quercetin is a must-have this time of year, or anytime allergies and hay fever come a-knocking. It exerts an anti-allergy e ect by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory compounds like histamine that cause allergy symptoms, including itching, sneezing, watery eyes, runny noses, and bronchoconstriction. But it does more than just quench a hay fever attack; it is also frequently used to treat a wide variety of allergic conditions, including asthma, eczema, and hives. Furthermore, quercetin is beneficial for the prevention and treatment of bronchitis. It relaxes airway smooth muscle, modulates inflammation, and supports healthy respiratory function in the respiratory tract, as well as the sinuses. Quercetin not only supports healthy respiratory function during a change in seasons, but it can also o set the harmful e ects of air pollution caused by carbon dioxide (CO2) and wildfire smoke, and even cigarette smoke. One study examining the e ects of quercetin and vitamin C on bronchial cells when exposed to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), an especially dangerous type of air pollution, found that the combination of quercetin and vitamin C “strikingly” reduced PM2.5’s negative health e ects to the cells, in part by reducing inflammation, oxidative damage, and mitochondrial damage. Similar results have also been found in studies investigating mice exposed to cigarette smoke, in which quercetin reduced airway inflammation, oxidative damage, and lung damage induced by second-hand cigarette smoke. The results lead the researchers of one study to write, “These findings suggest that quercetin has a potential for treating chronic airway diseases.”

AN ANTI-AGING GURU Another reason to add quercetin to your supplement routine is that it is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It not only protects the body from free-radical damage, it also quenches chronic, low-grade inflammation, which is becoming increasingly recognized as a significant contributor to accelerated aging. Low-grade inflammation contributes to the development of the common chronic diseases and conditions that account for more than 50 percent of all deaths in the world today. Ischemic heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, non- alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and autoimmune and neurodegenerative conditions are all inflammation-related diseases. With quercetin’s natural anti-inflammatory e ects, it may come as no surprise that it plays a direct role in reducing C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. CRP is a common way to measure both acute and chronic inflammation; when CRP levels remain high over an extended period, it can be an indicator of underlying disease. A 2017 meta-analysis of seven randomized controlled trials found that quercetin supplementation at doses greater than 500 mg/day, varying in length between 6 and 10 weeks, resulted in a “significant reduction in circulating CRP levels.”

A POTENT ANTIVIRAL Most of us are familiar with the importance of vitamins C and D and zinc for immune health. In addition to these core supplements, quercetin is another valuable supplement to add to your immunity toolkit because it displays an impressive range of antiviral properties, including inhibiting virus entry, virus replication, and virus protein assembly. This helps us fight upper respiratory infections like the common cold, as well as influenza. Quercetin also alleviates infection- related symptoms through its ability to reduce the release of inflammatory cytokines, proteins released by certain immune cells as part of the immune response. In one study, participants 40 and older had a 36 percent reduction in upper respiratory infection severity and a 31 percent reduction in total sick days when taking 1,000 mg of quercetin, plus 1,000 mg of vitamin C and 40 mg of niacin, for 12 weeks, compared to the placebo group. Quercetin also benefits the immune health of athletes. Competitive athletes can be more susceptible to respiratory infections as over- exercising can strain the immune system. In one study, participants who supplemented with 1,000 mg/day of quercetin for three weeks before, during, and two weeks after a three-day period of three hours of cycling, had a lower incidence of upper respiratory infections compared to the placebo group. There are also preliminary studies in South Korea and China that have pointed to quercetin’s potential for inhibiting viral replication of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. In a review entitled, “Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Patients Infected with 2019-New Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2),” researchers documented several key findings, noting quercetin’s potential e ects as a treatment against coronaviruses. Specifically, quercetin had potent anti-SARS-CoV e ects by “inhibition of viral cellular entry, adsorption, and penetration.”

WHAT IS QUERCETIN, ANYWAYS? Quercetin is a potent antioxidant belonging to a group of plant nutrients called flavonoids, widely found in fruits and vegetables. Studies show that the ingestion of flavonoids reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty- liver disease, and certain types of cancer. Food sources of quercetin include capers (the highest food source), apple skins, green vegetables, such as lettuce and kale, blueberries, onions, citrus fruits, red grapes, green tea, and red wine. Our bodies cannot make quercetin, so we must obtain it from food or supplements. But food sources alone cannot supply optimal amounts of this powerful antioxidant—to achieve a dose of 500 mg, you’d have to eat 5 ½ cups of red onion or 28 cups of blueberries every day. With supplementation, you can obtain 500 mg with just one capsule. Typical doses in studies evaluating quercetin’s e ectiveness range between 500 mg and 1,000 mg/day.

Quercetin can also make your heart do a happy dance. Studies have shown it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by lowering systolic and diastolic blood pressure and decreasing total and LDL cholesterol levels. It’s even been suggested to be a key component in the cardiovascular-protective element of eating the Mediterranean diet, which is associated with a decrease of cardiovascular diseases on the whole. In a double-blind, placebo- controlled study, 93 overweight or obese subjects aged 25–65 with metabolic syndrome were randomly selected to receive 150 mg of quercetin or a placebo for six weeks. In contrast to the placebo group, quercetin decreased systolic blood pressure in all subgroups, including hypertensive subjects, and in the subgroup of younger A CARDIOVASCULAR CHAMPION

adults aged 25–50 years. Quercetin also significantly decreased plasma concentrations of LDL cholesterol in the overweight subjects with high CVD risk factors. Quercetin combats CVD in another key way. Atherosclerosis is the disease of the arteries characterized by the deposition of cholesterol plaques on their inner walls, thereby causing obstruction of blood flow. In a study examining aortic samples with atherosclerotic disease, when quercetin was applied to the a ected samples, the flavonoid specifically accumulated in the injured aorta. These observations suggest that quercetin exerts anti-atherosclerotic activities, including the inhibition of foam cell formation in the aorta, which is known to progress to atherosclerosis. Quercetin is one of a handful of nutrients that has the unique ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and support brain function; it scavenges free radicals, combats inflammation, supports mitochondrial function and health, and reduces amyloid plaque formation, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Several in vitro human and animal studies show the neuroprotective e ects of quercetin and its ability to delay brain aging. It protects the brain from the neurotoxic e ect of chemicals, neuronal injury, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. It also protects brain cells by stimulating cellular defenses against oxidative stress and reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the hippocampus—a complex brain structure involved in learning and memory. With its plethora of whole-body benefits, adding quercetin to your supplement routine might just be one of the best things you can do for your health span. A NO-BRAINER FOR HEALTHY BRAIN AGING

NUT ITION BYTES By Geoff Brokx and Shelby Miller Heart Health Benefits of EPA and DHA Increase with Dose

The omega-3 fats EPA and DHA are safe and e ective for cardiovascular disease prevention, with higher doses providing the greatest e ects. This is the conclusion from a 2021 study by the Mayo Clinic which analyzed the e ects of EPA and DHA supplementation on cardiovascular outcomes; the review included 40 randomized controlled trials with more than 135,000 participants. This is one of the most comprehensive reviews on omega-3 fats and cardiovascular outcomes to date and comes at a time when heart disease remains the number one cause of death in the United States and most of the world. The review specifically found that people who supplemented with EPA and DHA experienced a 35 percent reduced risk of

per day there was a 5.8 percent and 9 percent risk reduction respectively. While EPA and DHA are found in foods such as salmon, sardines, and herring most people are not consuming the recommended two servings of fish per week. Additionally, benefits of EPA and DHA increase when consumed in amounts much higher than is found in food. While consuming EPA and DHA- rich food should still be a priority due to the variety of beneficial nutrients found in fish, adding an EPA and DHA supplement in doses of 1,000 to 2,000 mg/day can easily increase the total amount of these beneficial fats to ranges that appear to be most beneficial for the prevention of certain cardiovascular diseases.

a fatal heart attack (myocardial infarction), a 13 percent reduced risk of nonfatal heart attack, and a 9 percent reduced risk for both congenital heart disease mortality and events. Benefits were achieved with as little as 840 mg of EPA and DHA daily, however many studies found that cardiovascular benefits increased with dose. For example, the risk reduction for congenital heart disease and heart attack was dose dependent, meaning for every additional gram of EPA and DHA taken

Grape Seed Extract Supports Healthy Blood Pressure, Especially in Men

Hypertension (high blood pressure) continues to be a top modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and premature death worldwide. Prioritizing healthy blood pressure is one of themost important things you can do tomaximize your healthspan and extend your lifespan, and new research shows that grape seed extract is one way to do that. A recent study published in the journal Nutrients found that supplementation with grape seed extract reduced blood pressure, especially in men, and also helped reduce the perception of stress. Researchers first conducted a cell study to discover a mechanism of action and found that grape seed extract significantly reduced pro-inflammatory molecules and increased production of nitric oxide, a natural vasodilator, in blood vessel cells. Researchers then went on to look at the e ects of grape seed extract in humans by conducting a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study on 80 adults with mild hypertension. Participants were between 40 and 70 years old and were randomly assigned to receive either a grape seed

extract supplement (150 mg, twice daily) every day for 16 weeks, or a placebo. Subjects underwent several blood pressure tests, as well as questionnaires to assess their perceived stress levels and quality of life.

While results showed a reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both of the study groups, the blood pressure decrease was more pronounced in the grape seed extract supplemented group, with the e ect most significantly observed in men. The study also found a statistically significant reduction in worries, as well as beneficial e ects on both stress and mood. This new

study adds to a body of research confirming grape seed extract’s anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardioprotective e ects.

REBUGGING THE PLANET Vicki Hird

THE GREAT HEALING Stephen Erickson

Passionately demonstrates how insects and invertebrates are the cornerstone of our global ecosystem. They pollinate plants, feed birds, support and defend our food crops, and clean our water systems. Discover how we can 'rebug' our attitudes and embrace these brilliant, essential insects, so that we can avoid an 'insectageddon' and help each other thrive.

This is a “save-the-planet” book. Compassionate activism can create THE GREAT HEALING: the healing of our planet, the halting of Earth’s ongoing sixth great extinction, and the preservation of as many species and living creatures as possible. More than a “call-to-action” book, more than a book of compelling stories… this is a book with a plan.
