Recipe of the month: The Benevolent Bean!

It’s June, which means green and yellow bean season has begun. Beans have been cultivated in the Americas as far back as 7000 BC. In 2018, Ontario produced more than 68 million pounds of green and yellow beans. (That’s a lot).

Green and yellow beans are high in fiber and other nutrients. One cup of beans provides 12% of the daily fiber requirements, 27% of daily vitamin C requirements and 18% of daily vitamin K requirements. Beans also contain smaller amounts of potassium, iron, vitamin B6 and magnesium. Beans are also low in sugar, sodium, and are cholesterol free.

500 g (1 pound) of fresh yellow or green beans costs around $3.50.

Meh...I'll do it tomorrow.

I don't know about you, but the title of this post really speaks to my level of engagement this past week. This is also evidenced by the delay in getting this post out. As Wellness Coordinators, Renate and I are certainly not unfamiliar with such impacts as motivation, energy management, cognitive load, and emotional regulation. Interestingly enough, we're also intimately aware of that beautiful phenomenon that can often derail and dissuade any task, action, or activity we have intentions of completing. That's right, friends.

Hello incoming (and remaining) students! We hope that you are all continuing to keep as safe and healthy as can be these days.

Grad research or progress has been halted, UG curriculums have been rejigged, and our realities have been more isolated than usual. We know you've heard it many times from too many different broadcasters, but these are truely exceptional times we are living in!
