FEBRUARY 29 LETTE FROM

THE Iselys

Ode to Leap Day “Today is always here,’ said Sethe. ‘Tomorrow, never.”—Toni Morrison, Beloved February, this year you’re a little different than usual—a whole extra day different! And we wonder, what kind of enchantment can we imagine with the gift of 24 more hours? If we treated it as a rare and special occasion, how would we spend it? Would we take the time to start the day slowly… to sit still, breathe deep, and bask in some winter sunshine, or curl up by the window and watch the snowflakes fall? Might we delay our dive into social media, the news, and email, choosing instead to let this day’s momentum build on the small offline moments that bring joy and inspiration? Is this the day we’d finally call a friend we want to reconnect with or a family member we’ve been missing? Would we sign up for that dance class? Or go on a spontaneous adventure with our camera? Perhaps dust off Grandpa’s model train collection and get busy reviving it? We know the things we’ve been dreaming of but never do. Is this the moment we unlock the “when I’m less busy” list with the truth that our only time is now? As the early wintry dusk gathers, will we stop and watch its pink glow spread across the horizon? And when dinnertime beckons, will we find ourselves preparing a delicious meal because eating on-the-go or out of a box doesn’t fit this beautiful gift of a day? When we lay our heads on our pillows, will gratitude wrap itself around us like a cozy blanket as we drift off to dreamland on the gentle breezes of time well spent? At Natural Grocers, we know we’ll use this extra February day to do what we’re committed to every other day of the year—empowering our neighborhoods with nutrition education and the best quality natural, organic, and regenerative products at Always Affordable ® prices. But we hope some whimsical imagining about the gift of one extra day also inspires a little more slowing down, gratitude, and meaning into all our days. May the same be true for you, our neighbors, and our Crew. We wish you good health and warm hearts all February long. May you know you are loved and that you matter, no matter what.

Stressed out? Hit a wall? Mood tanked? Stamina long gone? If you’ve reached the point where you feel like you can’t take on one more task, face one more problem, or just can’t take another punch, punch back with the power of rhodiola, the little plant with big benefits. Rhodiola rosea is a perennial herb native to high-altitude areas in Europe, Central Asia, Siberia, and North America and is known as an adaptogen. Much like its ability to adapt to and thrive in conditions that are less than ideal, rhodiola can also help our bodies adapt to physical and psychological stressors, as well as bu er the e ects of burnout and exhaustion. It can also have a positive e ect on mood. When life packs a punch— rholl with the punches with rhodiola. By Liz Mueller RHODIOLA Reclaim Your Resiliency with Bring Calm to the Chaos Think of rhodiola as bringing calm to the chaos by helping to promote a healthy stress response. It does this so well that the European Medicines Agency (Europe’s version of our FDA) approved Rhodiola rosea for use as an adapto gen for the temporary relief of symptoms associated with stress, such as fatigue, exhaustion, and a general sensa tion of weakness, based on its long use in traditional medicine and numerous scientific studies. The adaptogenic compounds in rhodiola help the body adapt to stress by decreasing or preventing hormonal changes related to prolonged stress, including having the ability to balance the stress hormone cortisol. Chronically elevated cortisol levels may contribute to accelerated signs of aging, higher levels of psychosocial stress, poorer cognitive performance, atrophy of memory-related structures of the brain, weight gain, and exhaustion. Natural Grocers ® | 13

In one study, when 200 mg of rhodiola was taken twice daily for four weeks by stressed-out subjects, results showed that it alleviated their stress to a “clinically relevant degree”—with some seeing results and improvements after just three days. Improvements in stress symptoms continued to be observed after just one week and upon completion of the four-week study. Physicians working night shifts also benefited from rhodiola supplementation, according to the findings of another study. The subjects—56 male and female physicians—were given tests to determine the effect that working late nights had on overall fatigue, short-term memory, ability to concentrate, and speed of audio-visual perception. The result of the two-week, double-blind study showed that daily supplementation with 170 mg of a standardized rhodiola extract helped with mental weariness, improved performance on work-related tasks by 20 percent, and led to a significant improvement in fatigue scores. Ramp Up Mental Performance Rhodiola has been widely used to improve cognition and mental performance in cultures across the globe. In fact, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), rhodiola and its constituents are used to replenish qi (vital energy), activate blood circulation, unblock blood vessels, and enhance mental function. In Europe, rhodiola is also defined by the European Food Safety Authority as some thing that “contributes to optimal mental and cognitive activity.”

Putting it to the test, so to speak, a group of 50 adults were treated with 200 mg of rhodio la extract two times a day for 12 weeks and subjected to neuropsychological tests prior to supplementation, after six weeks, and after 12 weeks of supplementation. When it came to reaction times, attention tasks, dual tasks, and divided attention tasks, all subjects improved after taking rhodiola. The findings concluded, “The re sults of this pilot study show an improvement of mental speed and moreover, suggest improved mental resources.” Furthermore, animal models have shown that compared to a control, rhodi ola has a positive effect on learning and memory, largely through its antioxi dant and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as its ability to improve coronary blood flow and cerebral [brain] energy metabolism. Target Depression & Anxiety

Rhodiola is also a natural approach to help combat depression—it is often rec ommended by functional medicine doctors as an effective natural alternative to antidepressant medications. In one placebo-controlled study of 128 mild to moderately depressed patients, 150 mg of rhodiola daily was associated with “significantly improved depression” in about 66 percent of the patients compared to the placebo group. Rhodiola has also been found to be beneficial for depression related to perimenopause, with improvements in mood, energy, mental sharpness, and memory. Another study evaluated the impact of rhodiola extract on self-reported anxiety, stress, and other mood symptoms. Mildly anxious participants took 200 mg of rhodiola twice daily. After two weeks, the experimental group saw a significant reduction in anxiety, stress, anger, confusion, and depression, and improvements in total mood. Lastly, a separate study found that supplementing with 360 mg of rhodiola daily for 10 weeks led to significant im provement in symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

IMMUNE system RHodiola Support a Strong with As we age, our immune func tion declines in a process called immune senescence, in which we lose the ability to mount a robust immune response to antigens and see an increase in low-grade inflammation, also called “inflammaging.” This, in turn, can make us more susceptible to developing autoimmune diseases and cancer. Animal studies have shown that rhodiola can enhance immune function, provide an tiviral and antibacterial activ ities that can reduce the risk of serious infections, includ ing influenza, and inhibit the growth of a variety of human cancer cell lines.

Beat the Burnout In May 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially included burnout in its Inter national Classification of Diseases. The WHO defines burnout syndrome as resulting from chron ic stress characterized by feelings of exhaustion or energy depletion, negative or cynical feelings related to a job, and reduced professional efficacy. A survey from FlexJobs and Mental Health America reported that 75 percent of workers have experienced burn out. So, what can be done about it? While the Mayo Clinic recommends sleep and relaxation as treatment, rhodiola offers a targeted, synergis tic approach. The first clinical trial exploring the outcomes specifically in burnout patients treated with rhodiola found that patients who took 200 mg twice daily for three months had

improvements in all three main symptoms of burn out: exhaustion, cynicism, and lack of efficacy. Improve Strength & Endurance Taking rhodiola for improving strength, stamina, and athletic performance has been around so long even the Vikings have been said to have used it to enhance endurance and physical strength! Now, modern research has shown that supplementation does have a positive effect on athletic ability and per formance—without adverse effects.

According to one review of 10 published research papers on rhodiola and its ability to “improve human exercise ability,” results included: a reduction in pain and muscle damage after training, a reduction in oxidative stress, as well as an enhancement in antioxidant capacity, an increase in the body’s resistance to fatigue, and an improvement in ath letic explosive power. The doses in the studies ranged between 170 mg/ daily and 1,500 mg/daily. Furthermore, animal experiments have shown that rhodiola increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—what our cells use to produce energy— and creatine phosphate, which helps maintain a constant concentration of ATP in muscle cells during bursts of exercise that would otherwise deplete ATP from these cells. Rhodiola-treated rats significantly prolonged the duration of exhaustive swimming, and the supplement had the effect of activating the synthesis of ATP in mitochondria, while promoting the process of energy recovery in the body after exercise. From mental clarity and a boost in mood to stress resistance and in creased endurance, rhodiola is there for it all.

CHOCOLATE

SERVES: 2 | PREP TIME: 23 MINUTES COOK TIME: 12 MINUTES | REST TIME: 5 MINUTES TOTAL TIME: 40 MINUTES

with Raspbe y Sauce

The combination of dark chocolate and raspberries is a classic recipe for romance. We ramp up the charm with a Natural Grocers ® Organic Cocoa Dusted Tru e in the middle to create a melted center. The tart raspberry syrup poured over the rich dark chocolate cakes creates a decadent flavor combination you and your sweetie will love! Those with a sweet tooth will enjoy it with the suggested ice cream or coconut whip.

Ingredients

• 2 Natural Grocers Brand Organic Cocoa Dusted Chocolate Truffles • 2 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Coconut Oil, plus extra for preparing the ramekins • ½ tablespoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Cocoa Powder, plus extra for preparing the ramekins • ½ cup stevia-sweetened baking chips • ½ cup Natural Grocers Brand Frozen Organic Raspberries • 1 tablespoon organic lemon juice • 1 tablespoon filtered water • ½ tablespoon Natural Grocers Brand Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup • 1 Natural Grocers Brand Organic Regenerative Pasture-Raised Egg, room temperature • 1 Natural Grocers Brand Organic Regenerative Pasture- Raised Egg yolk, room temperature • ½ teaspoon organic vanilla extract • Natural Grocers Brand Bulk: • 1 tablespoon Organic Coconut Sugar • ¼ teaspoon Real Salt • 1 1⁄2 tablespoons Almond Flour

Instruc ons

1. Place the two truffles into the freezer while preparing the cakes. 2. Preheat oven to 400°F. 3. Melt the coconut oil, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips in a double boiler. Set aside to cool. 4. While the chocolate is melting prepare two individual-sized ramekins by coating with coconut oil then dusting with cocoa powder. 5. In a small saucepan combine the raspberries, lemon juice, water, and maple syrup over medium heat. Bring to a boil then remove from heat, stirring to combine and break down the raspberries. Strain mixture through a mesh strainer into a small bowl and set aside. 6. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, and salt for 1-2 minutes or until all the sugar is dissolved. 7. Add the melted chocolate and almond flour into the egg mixture, gently folding in only until there are no lumps, being careful not to overmix. 8. Place 2 tablespoons of the batter into each prepared ramekin, then place a frozen truffle into the center of each. Divide the remaining batter between the ramekins. 9. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is no longer runny. Inserting a toothpick into the edges of the cake should come out clean (center will still be liquid). 10. Let rest for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen. Using a kitchen towel to hold the warm ramekin, carefully flip the cake onto a plate. 11. To serve, top with raspberry sauce and any desired optional toppings. Serve warm.

Show Your CELL-f Love with Natural Grocers Brand Niacinamide!

We all know “self-love” is essential, but this February, let’s go a little deeper— how about some CELL-f love?!! Support your health at the cellular level with Natural Grocers Brand Niacinamide! Research shows that niacinamide, a precursor to NAD+, is one of the most effective ways to maintain healthy levels of this critical biomolecule. NAD+ is crucial for turning food into energy, supporting DNA integrity, promoting normal cell function, and the healthy, gradual reduction of inflammatory PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) that accumulate in adipose (fat) tissue. However, NAD+ declines with age, which makes niacinamide key for supporting optimal levels over time. Niacinamide also supports the brain’s normal healing process if an injury is involved. It promotes healthy stress management, assists with maintaining optimal levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, encourages the normal function of your immune system and mitochondrial function, and promotes

healthy regeneration of skin tissue after injury. Some holistic Doctors suggest the optimal way to supplement niacinamide is through a dose of 50mg or less, up to three times daily to increase NAD levels, which Natural Grocers Brand Niacinamide 45mg is formulated to provide. It’s produced in a GMP (good manufacturing practices) certified facility and made to the trusted quality
