Did you know that one out of every three bites of food you take is thanks to the work of pollinators? Pollinators like bees, butterflies, bats, and moths are critical players in the food system, responsible for aiding pollination of 75 to 95% of all flowering plants—including many food crops, such as coffee, almonds, avocados, blueberries, and vanilla. Today we celebrate not just the numerous bee species that keep our food system buzzing, but all the pollinators that play a vital role in giving us the foods we enjoy. Learn more about what you can do to protect pollinators in your community.

What about a little self-care to mark Simplify Your Life Week? Here’s one tip: Set priorities. Make a list of 3-5 people, causes, activities, or things that are most important to you. Actively focusing on these priorities will give you permission to let go of the less important things competing for your attention.

Celiac Disease
May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month! 💚 
About 83% of Americans who have celiac disease are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. The average time to wait for the correct diagnosis is 6-10 years.

What is Celiac Disease?
An autoimmune disease that causes a reaction to gluten (a protein in wheat, barley, and rye) leading to inflammation and damage to the small intestinal lining. Over time, the damage also causes the malabsorption of nutrients and other more serious complications. 

Signs/Symptoms:
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, abdominal cramps, joint pain, brain fog, delayed growth, skin rash
Long-term effects of gluten exposure are anemia, osteoporosis, lactose intolerance due to damage to the small intestine, and weight loss

Treatment:
A 100% gluten-free diet is the only treatment for celiac disease 🍚   🌽
