Organic Vegetables Could Be the Solution to Rising Healthcare Costs

(Newswire.net — July 19, 2017) Poughkeepsie, New York – The old adage, “The best time to plant a tree is 25 years ago, if you didn’t do that, the second best time is NOW!” has a modern Health and Wellness equivalent, “The second best time to be Proactive in addressing Healthcare and Healthcare costs is NOW… we obviously didn’t get it right 25 years ago!” And the solution to the healthcare crisis and its continually rising costs can be found in organic vegetables, like the ones offered at Indoor Gardens of Poughkeepsie.

Michelle Obama championed the cause “Healthy Children through Healthy Diet” and was correctly on point. While her motives were social, at Indoor Organic Gardens of Poughkeepsie the motivation is economic, but either way the outcome is the same – a healthier population.

Healthy Kids grow up to be Healthy Adults who age to become Healthy Seniors.

Diabetes, heart disease, cancer, obesity are among the leading health challenges faced in this country, and account for 75 percent of healthcare costs, in which 75 percent are incurred by seniors who are not prepared to live to 100 without significant support (including financial) from the Health Care System.

The Solution for Better Health

The citizens of these United States need to create a healthier menu for today’s children, those in grades K-5. Education is clearly a key component, because kids tend to be more inclined to do what they “understand,” especially when it involves life choices like diet. If introduced before 5^th grade, children will learn the choices needed to be healthy and when given a choice, most kids will select healthy! It then comes down to execution of the plan. Once the kids buy into the “healthy” concept, they’ll need access to the healthy choices of nutrient dense vegetables year-round, and ingest an adequate quantity to provide the necessary nutrition.

This nutritional content can be found in 100 percent Certified Organic Microgreen Stage Vegetables, an option which has been reported to contain 260 times the Vitamin A, 70 times the Vitamin K, 40 Times the Vitamin E per 100mg as their mature stage elder veggies (in the case of red cabbage used for an example). Furthermore, Indoor Organic Gardens of Poughkeepsie, located at 316 Main St, Center City Poughkeepsie, NY (Pick your Greens in Poughkeepsie) has developed a system using 100 percent Organic Compost which grows a fresh batch every 10 days, indoors, year around. In addition to the health element of the organic vegetables at IOGP, jobs are provided for Center City Residents and unoccupied former Retail and Professional Commercial Buildings are utilized.

Brud Hodgkins, Senior Partner of IOGP and self-proclaimed “startup business addict” is convinced Microgreen Stage Vegetables will provide access to adequate nutrition and begin building a new generation of Healthier citizens, “In addition to the traditional vegetable options, starting with K-5^th Grade and adding a grade each year, let’s “offer” these Kids a chance to learn about the Options and Choose what is more likely to yield long term results.”

IOGP, in conjunction with Dutchess County, the City Schools, the Office of Aging, sponsored by Aetna, Health Quest, Rose and Kiernan, and the Dyson Foundation has created an Educational format directed at K-5 and is delivering these products weekly for consumption by Pilot Groups (K-5 and Seniors).

Reports are consistent, offering, “the Kids love these things, especially once they understand how they are grown and learn about the value of Fresh Natural Organic Nutrition available for consumption within 24 hours of harvest.”
