🐝 WORLD BEE DAY 🐝 Words from Green in The Blue: Pollinators allow many plants, including many food crops, to reproduce. Not only do pollinators contribute directly to food security, but they are key to conserving biodiversity - a cornerstone of the Sustainable Development Goals. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bees perform a task that is vital to the survival of agriculture: pollination. In fact, one third of our global food supply is pollinated by bees. Simply put, bees keep plants and crops alive. Without bees, humans wouldn't have very much to eat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TIPS: - buy organic, as much as you can - plant nectar bearing flowers - limit or avoid honey products - raise awareness - grow your own food (Goals) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Neonicotinoid pesticides (neonics) are among the most widely used in Canada and around the world. The nerve agents are absorbed by plants, rendering them toxic to insect pests. But non-target species, including honeybees, wild bees and other pollinators, are also affected by the chemicals. Studies have shown the chemicals affect bees' survival by hurting their abilities to forage, reproduce and ward off pathogens. - globe & mail, linked in stories. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With respect to pesticides, Lisa Gue, a researcher at David Suzuki Foundation, an environmental group, said the findings of a study on B.C. bees reinforce concerns pollinators are at risk from the widespread use of pesticides, despite some governments' attempts to restrict their use.The European Union now bans all outdoor uses of the three main neonics, following a 2018 report from its scientific risk assessment authority confirming serious danger to honeybees and wild bees. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? I feel we can’t live without thinking of the consequences of our actions. We must strive to be compassionate. Especially those with kids, this is their future. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ xx Jordan - Bruce’s Roots.com
Got out into nature twice today with two pretty cool people. Over 17,000 steps (plus spin!) in our beautiful BC forest. Choose the outdoors over errands because sometimes you just have to. What’s your go to activity on a day off? And yes, I’m wearing shorts. 🌲 Don’t forget to sign up for my free plant-based recipe ebook, link in bio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷 @mainstreetdogcare with @storiesofzoey’s help
The perfect long weekend salad to go with your grilled veggies. Two heads of kale, roasted navy beans with lots of smoked paprika, lemon roasted garlic creamy tahini dressing and lots of black pepper. I love this PLANT LIFE. 🌿🌿🌿 Not feeling restricted at all. Recipe by @minimalistbaker and I just switched up the beans and spices. Happy Sunday friends! Off to go for my second forest walk of the day because movement, nature and dogs are life. What are you up to? 🌞#brucesroots
THE 12 HOUR FAST - you doing it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If my client's blood sugar levels are somewhat stable, I recommend having a minimum of a 12 hour fast between dinner and breakfast. This gives the body a break always having to work to break down the food we eat. The majority of the body's energy is actually spent on digestion so if we are always eating we may feel more tired. Another benefit of a short fast, is the migrating motor complex (MMC) starts working. This is especially important for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) clients. The MMC is basically the intestinal housekeeper that moves undigested matter into the colon every 90-120 minutes. Just note that working out while carb deficit will make it hard to function at the same intensity as usual. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨Exert from my latest blog post, LINK IN BIO. Article “Choose Your Breakfast Wisely”✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you read the blog posts? Shall I write more? Radiating love, Jordan #brucesroots

BRUNCHING 🌿 When your cousins put the effort into making a vegan gf brunch 🎉 So kind of them to think of me, plus then they sneak in more plants 😂 Kept it simple yet delicious. Boiled potatoes then cut and stir fried for a hash, added zucchini, tons of spinach, garlic, onions. Top with veggie breakfast patties sautéed in coconut oil, dollop of hummus, hemp seeds and added lots of Valentina hot sauce. Made cashew milk @soarorganics matcha with @garufood protein for them. Heading over to my aunt and uncle’s soon to see them and my mom. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there, even dog mom’s. 💛 HAPPY SUNDAY! More recipes on my website: brucesroots.com. xx Jordan
VEGAN NUTRITION 🌱 I was asked recently asked about vegan nutrition and I guess I don’t talk about it a lot on Instagram because I feel the nutrients vegans need are the same ones everyone needs! . 🌱Vitamin D3, I choose lichen versus lanolin 🌱 Vitamin B12, I suggest methylated (methylcobalamin versus cyancobalamin) 🌱Magnesium, I avoid citrate as it can be harsh on the bowels 🌱 Fermented food or probiotics (human strain versus dairy culture) For brand suggestions, head to my website and see products. Message me if you have any questions, I love how convenient @fullscript is. A follower also asked about energy. I work with clients 1:1 because there can be so many reasons we are out of balance and each person needs different suggestions. I always suggest reaching for as many whole foods as possible. That’s going to help keep your blood sugar levels nice and stable. Look at the nutrients you’re getting, not the calories. If you’re just starting out, then try adding greens to lots of your meals or eat one animal free meal a day! This filling delicious falafel wrap is from @powerhouselivingfoodsco in Nanaimo. xx Jordan - Bruce’s Roots.Com
