THE Iselys

Od t Jul : You’re the essence of summertime. School doors are shut and homework has receded to the dusty edges of memory as our eyes begin to shimmer and our cheeks flush with that vacation glow. We’ve been sp ashing in the pool, floating down the river, picnicking at the park, and sometimes even climbing a fourteener, or at least a fourteen-minute-er—a light and pleasant warm weather hike. All this outdoor adventuring is punctuated by summery deliciousness: blackberries, cherries, peaches, melons, sweet corn, green beans, and vine-ripe tomatoes. July, you wake up that sleepy chef in us, the one who’s been hiding behind the microwave for far too long. Your colorful bounty has inspired fresh cravings to get outside, fire up the grill, and see what we’re capable of—and we suspect it’s more than we may sometimes let on. Just give us a basketful of organic produce, wild-caught fish, pasture-raised meat and cheeses, or the best in plant-based, and let the culinary adventuring begin. None of this is meant to say that you’ve taken all our cares away, July; we still carry the weight of our everyday responsibilities and individual burdens. The world around us still feels defined by upheaval and polarization, and so we have a simple wish for all our friends and neighbors. May this season bring us an abundance of moments to breathe deeply, lift our faces to the sun, watch it sink into the horizon more often, and wrap ourselves in the starlit warmth of a summer night. May we make more time to enjoy the delicious, nutritious bounty of the season and those moments that nourish our mental well-be- ing too—a little bit of conversation, a little bit of understanding. Because these are the things we can choose every day, despite the chaos around us—food that sustains and regenerates our bodies and the planet, time well spent, and love, the only way love can be known, by sharing it.

“Red, red wine, stay close to meee.” UB40 had it right when they sang these catchy words. A charcuterie board complete with grapes and a g ass of red wine in the golden light of a romantic summer’s evening is like a love letter to your heart health and beyond. So keep those green, green grapes and that red, red wine close at hand—as long as they are organic! FO THE LOVE OF O GANICS : GRAPES By Morgaine Lee O GANIC HEADQUA TE S ®

A Toast to Your Health To shades of green, purple, and crimson—to grapes!Organic agricultural practices lean into nature’s wisdomby supporting crops in fortifying their ownnatural resistancemechanisms topests anddisease. This results inplants with higher nutrient density, including more vitamin C and other antioxidants. These protective compounds support the wellbeing of crops, and in turn, benefit us as well. When it comes to grapes, studies have found that organic is sweeter, with higher levels of antioxidants and phytonutrients compared to conventionally grown ones. Grapes are bursting with nutrients, including vitamins B, C, and K, potassium, manganese, lutein, quercetin, and fiber. Grapes are an especially potent source of antioxidants and are particularly famous for the resveratrol content found in their skins. Resveratrol is a heart-health supporting antioxidant that gives wine its healthy reputation, with mild to moderate consumption. A toast—to nature’s wisdom! “Leave Me the Birds and the Bees, Please” Grapes have been on the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) Dirty Dozen list for many years and have made the list once again this year. As many as 90 percent of samples tested contained two or more pesticide residues. One of the most common sprays used in grape growing is an insecticide called imidacloprid. Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid, a category of insecticide that targets insects’ central nervous system and is lethal to bees and other pollinators. Grapevines are self-pollinating, but honeybees like to snack on this tasty fruit, and due to the drift of

chemical sprays, bee populations all around are exposed to risk of harm. Choosing organic grapes helps keep neonicotinoid sprays out of the wind and protects our bee populations. Climate, Wine, and the Need for Change Each sipof wine tells the story of a specific time andplacewhere the grapes were grown. The increasing threat of climate change, though, is re-writing the stories of wines everywhere, especially in California wine country.Over the past several years we’ve seen the destruction wildfires cause, with California bearing the brunt of widespread devastation. From the burning of vineyards to smoke taint, climate change and its wildfires are deeply a ecting the wine industry. Conventional agriculture is a major contributor to climate change, but regenerative and organic farming practices that prioritize carbon sequestration and water retention play a major role in combatting climate change, and even help mitigate the dangers of wildfires. , Every choice we make counts, and choosing organic and regenerative wine and grapes helps write a cleaner, greener future. Cheers to that!

This c assic sa ad is a little creamy, a little crunchy, and bursting with fresh fruit. It is simple to put together and can be served as part of a light family dinner or whipped up on the weekend for healthy lunches during the week. It’s cool and refreshing, perfect for hot summer days!

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Place chicken thighs in a baking dish just large enough to hold them. Season with salt and pepper and bake for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into ½-inch cubes. 2. While the chicken cooks, prepare the apple, grapes, and celery. Combine them in a large bowl with ¼ cup mayonnaise and the vinegar and stir until evenly dressed. Let rest in the refrigerator until the chicken is cut into cubes. 3. About 5 minutes before the chicken is done, spread the nuts on a baking sheet. Place in oven with the chicken and toast until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. 4. Once the chicken is cubed, combine with the rest of the salad and stir until evenly dressed. Add the extra mayonnaise if a creamier dressing is desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately on individual lettuce leaves or chill in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Top with nuts right before serving to retain their crunchy texture.

INGREDIENTS •

1 pound Mary’s boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• • •

1 small organic apple, cored and diced

1 cup halved organic grapes

2 large organic celery stalks, thinly sliced

Activate Timeless Health with Resveratrol By Liz Mueller

P eople are always on the hunt for ways to look and feel younger—according to market research experts, the global anti-aging market is expected to grow from an already impressive $191.5 billion in 2019 to a staggering $421 billion by 2030. However, while we explore ways to look younger and slow the aging process, we should also find ways to put more health into our years, because while aging is inevitable, poor health is not. Resveratrol, with its wide-ranging beneficial e ects on everything from cellular health to blood sugar balance and cardiovascular health to brain health, might just be one of the easiest and most a ordable ways to activate timeless health. With Resveratrol, Our Cells Get a New Lease on Life Resveratrol was dubbed the “Fountain of Youth” by Harvard Medical School researchers after studies showed that the antioxidant could increase cell survival and slow aging in live yeast, specifically Saccharomyces cerevisiae , and later in mice, by activating a “longevity” gene known as silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1). This groundbreaking research showed that activating the SIRT1 gene extended lifespan by 70 percent and increased DNA stability. Sirtuins, such as SIRT1, regulate the aging process and are themselves regulated by diet and environmental stress. They also defend the body against free radicals, protecting cells against metabolic stresses.

Natural Grocers ® | 11

With Resveratrol, it’s Like Fasting… Without the Frustration Fasting, calorie restriction, and exercise are all known to activate SIRT1. Research highlights resveratrol’s ability to mimic the benefits of fasting and calorie restriction—and thus, activation of SIRTI—without (the frustration of) actual fasting or calorie restriction. A double-blind, crossover study of 11 obese men taking 150 mg of resveratrol daily for 30 days showed an increase in SIRT1, improved mitochondrial function, and an increase in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an enzyme known as the “master regulator of energy metabolism” which activates the uptake of glucose and fatty acids into cells for energy production. There was also a decrease in circulating blood glucose, triglyceride levels, and inflammation markers compared to the control group. Systolic blood pressure also dropped, while insulin resistance improved. The researchers concluded that just 30 days of resveratrol supplementation “induces metabolic changes in obese humans, mimicking the e ects of calorie restriction.” Additional research in middle-aged, obese mice fed a high-calorie diet showed that the addition of resveratrol significantly improved their health including increased insulin sensitivity, improved motor function, and increased AMPK. This study revealed that resveratrol “opposed the e ects of the high-calorie diet in 144 out of 153

significantly altered pathways.” It concluded that improving health in mammals using phytonutrients like resveratrol points to “new approaches for treating obesity-related disorders and diseases of aging.” I’d be remiss to say that this doesn’t give us the green light to become, or stay, overweight, ignoring exercise and eating right, but resveratrol does give us yet another powerful tool to combat the cellular e ects and diseases associated with obesity and aging.

With Resveratrol, Blood Sugar, Type-2 Diabetes, and CHD Markers Improve Resveratrol also has a direct e ect on blood sugar in those with type-2 diabetes accompanied by coronary heart disease (CHD). In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of patients with type-2 diabetes and heart disease, those taking 500 mg of resveratrol a day for four weeks had reduced fasting glucose and insulin resistance and significantly increased insulin sensitivity compared with the placebo group. Those in the resveratrol group also saw a significant increase in HDL-cholesterol levels, a significant decrease in the total LDL/HDL-cholesterol ratio, and an increase in total antioxidant capacity, the body’s ability to scavenge free radicals. Furthermore, resveratrol upregulated SIRT1 in type-2 diabetes patients with coronary heart disease. In another randomized, controlled study of 62 type-2 diabetics, those taking 250 mg of resveratrol per day for three months had significantly improved long-term fasting blood sugar, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol compared to the control group.

With Resveratrol, the Cardiovascular Benefits Abound Taking a deeper dive into the cardiovascular e ects of resveratrol, there are a lot of benefits to get excited about. For starters, it’s widely known that antioxidants are good for overall health, and resveratrol, found in foods like grapes and red wine, is one such antioxidant with “hearty” cardio-protective properties. It neutralizes free radicals, protects against hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmia, chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. Once again, resveratrol supports the activation of the longevity gene SIRT1, AMPK, and endogenous antioxidant enzymes. In addition, the anti-inflammatory, insulin-sensitizing, endothelial-function improving (through the formation of nitric oxide), and lipid-lowering properties of resveratrol are also part of its unique cardiovascular benefits.

With Resveratrol, the Brain Benefits Are Bountiful It may come as no surprise to learn that resveratrol is top-notch for brain health, so why not make it the top-of-mind nutrient the next time you’re searching for a brain-boosting supplement? Resveratrol is one of those unique antioxidants that crosses the blood-brain barrier, where it protects the brain and nerve cells. It has the ability to increase blood flow to the brain and positively benefit brain function. Results from one double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study had 22 healthy adults aged 18 to 29 years take either a placebo, a single dose of 250 mg of trans-resveratrol (a more bioavailable form), or 500 mg of trans- resveratrol over three separate o ce visits. The results showed that both doses, but not the placebo, increased cerebral blood flow, which was sustained throughout task performance. The study concluded, “The results showed that single doses of orally administered resveratrol can modulate cerebral blood flow variables.” Resveratrol also impacts learning, mood, and memory in the elderly. In one study, resveratrol was shown to stimulate neurogenesis (the process of forming new neurons in the brain) and blood vessel formation in the hippocampus of healthy, aged rats. These structural changes were associated with “significant improvements in spatial learning, memory formation, and mood function.” With Resveratrol, Alzheimer’s Disease Biomarkers Improve Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating disorder that a ects 1 in 10 Americans over the age of 65, and almost half of all Americans over 85 years old. Moreover, the odds of developing AD double every five years after the age of 65. There is emerging evidence that resveratrol combats Alzheimer’s disease in several ways— both as a preventative and treatment of the disease—by crossing the blood-brain barrier, preventing and reducing amyloid plaque formation, and directly acting on neuroinflammation. One of the hallmark features of AD is the deposition and accumulation of amyloid-beta peptides (Aß) into amyloid plaques in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. Amyloid plaques are toxic to brain cells, resulting in neuronal dysfunction and death. In AD patients, abnormal levels of this naturally occurring protein bind together to form harmful plaques that collect between neurons and disrupt cell function. Evidence shows that resveratrol enhances and facilitates the clearance of amyloid-beta peptides, promotes cell survival in neurons, and reduces amyloid plaque formation and amyloid plaque counts in various brain regions. In one study, mice were fed resveratrol for 45 days, and results showed that resveratrol reduced amyloid plaque formation in the brain, with the largest reductions in amyloid plaques in the medial cortex, which plays a role in attention, inhibitory control, and long-term memory (-48%); the striatum, a critical part of motor function and reward (-89%); and the hypothalamus, a region of the brain that controls body temperature thirst, hunger, sleep, and emotions (-90%).

With Resveratrol, Pause the Effects of Menopause… Naturally Menopause is a natural and normal part of the aging process of healthy women ages 40–55, when periods stop and the ovaries stop producing estrogen, but oftentimes, the symptoms of this natural change can be debilitating. With resveratrol, there’s hope. Before menopause, normal estrogen levels can very between 30-400 picograms per milliliter (pg/mL), but after menopause, it falls below 30 pg/mL. This drop in estrogen causes symptoms such as dry skin, tender breasts, weak or brittle bones, trouble concentrating, moodiness and irritability, vaginal dryness, hot flashes and night sweats, and irregular periods or no periods. For many, hot flashes are one of the hallmark symptoms. According to a randomized, controlled, double-blind crossover study of 50 patients, those taking resveratrol saw a 78.6 percent improvement in the intensity of hot flash symptoms and quality of life, compared to just 18 percent in the placebo group. Furthermore, the reduction in the number of hot flash episodes was 57 percent in the resveratrol group and just 9 percent in the placebo group. The study concluded, “Resveratrol is e ective in reducing the number of episodes and intensity of hot flashes … and has the characteristics to be an alternative therapy in the treatment of hot flashes in menopause.” References For references, email customerservice@naturalgrocers.com

SUPPO T YOU METABOLIC VIB ANCY with Berberine + Oregon Grape Root! **

Have you heard about your metabolism’s “master switch?” It’s an enzyme known as AMPK, which stands for adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase, and it regulates how the body produces and uses energy. AMPK triggers the conversion of glucose (sugars) and fats to fuel when cellular energy is low, like when you exercise. Only a handful of compounds are known to activate it, and one of these is the phytonutrient berberine, which brings us to something else you’ll want to know about—Natural Grocers ® Brand Berberine + Oregon Grape Root! This formula combines the star of our story with one of its most abundant plant sources, Oregon grape root, to deliver whole-plant synergy and support healthy blood sugar balance and healthy fat and energy metabolism. Made in a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certified facility, it’s a supplement vouched for by the family brand customers have trusted since 1955. Support your metabolic vibrancy with Natural Grocers Brand Berberine + Oregon Grape Root! **

BOOKS

WIN Dr. James Dinicolantonio, Siim Land and Tristin Kennedy

THE ULTRAMIND SOLUTION Mark Hyman, M.D. This program shows how to support brains by focusing on bodies first with a six-week plan to gain an UltraMind that is highly focused, able to pay attention at will, and has a strong memory.

Many books have been written about physical performance, but they all have a different focus. You can find great information on bodybuilding, endurance, or just general weight loss. However, few books tackle the topic in an all-encompassing way. This is what WIN is about – providing a manual for overall sports optimization, that not only covers training but also nutrition, recovery, sleep, supplementation, and biohacking.

Elevate your grill with these Hawaiian-inspired vegetable kabobs with a simple teriyaki sauce. They’re a little taste of the tropics to liven up any meal! GRILLED PINEAPPLE, VEGGIE, & CHICKEN KABOBS

SERVES 10 kabobs TOTAL TIME 1.5 hours

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

SIMPLE TERIYAKI SAUCE ⅓ cup Natural Grocers ® Brand Organic Coconut Aminos ⅓ cup organic pineapple juice (from can of organic pineapple chunks below) 1 ½ tablespoon Natural Grocers Brand Organic Apple Cider Vinegar 1 ½ teaspoon finely grated organic ginger 2 organic garlic cloves, finely grated 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder KABOBS 1 pound boneless skinless chicken (breast or thighs), cut into 1-1½-inch cubes 1 medium organic red onion, cut in half around the equator and each half quartered 1 medium organic zucchini and/or summer squash, ends trimmed and cut into ½-inch rounds 1 organic bell pepper (any color), stem and seeds removed, cut into 2-inch squares 8 ounces organic button or cremini mushrooms, wiped clean, ends trimmed 1 cup organic pineapple chunks (from can of organic pineapple chunks in pineapple juice) Olive oil or coconut oil for the grill grates 10 (10-12-INCH) BAMBOO SKEWERS

1. Combine all sauce ingredients (except the arrowroot) in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Pour the sauce into a arge bowl and transfer to the refrigerator to cool for 5 minutes. 2. Prep the chicken and vegetables while the sauce cooks and cools. Pour about 1/3 of the sauce into another bowl and add the chicken, stir to coat. Add the vegetables to the remaining sauce and stir to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to four hours in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally. Soak the skewers in warm water for 20 minutes before threading. 3. Preheat grill to medium (~350°). 4. Thread a mix of chicken, vegetables, and pineapple (two chunks at a time) onto each skewer. Don't overcrowd, and leave at least one inch of space at both ends of the skewers. Reserve the marinade from the vegetables. 5. Brush the grill grates clean and use a paper towel to oil the grill grates with olive oil or coconut oil. Grill the kabobs with the lid down, turning every 5 minutes, about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. 6. While the kabobs grill, heat a small saucepan over medium heat (or on the grill) until simmering. Mix a small amount of the sauce with the arrowroot powder until no lumps remain. Add the arrowroot slurry to the sauce while stirring, and continue to simmer, stirring frequently until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat. 7. Drizzle a little of the sauce over each kabob just before serving.

tip sizzling

Here’s a healthy grilling trick every Burger Artist should have in their bag! An e ective way to reduce the formation of HCAs in your grilled meat is to add vitamin E, and none will be the wiser because it’s tasteless. Plus, it only takes one 400 IU capsule of natural vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) to treat 10 pounds of hamburger. P.S. Grass-fed beef has four times more naturally occurring vitamin E than grain-fed beef!
