Akshata, our nutritionist, has a new business! Little Patakha (puh-Taa-khaa. Meaning - firecracker) that will create books, games, puzzles and other media for children.

Little Patakha now needs YOUR help to launch! Read to learn how you can help....

As the first project, Akshata has created two books in two Indian languages, Hindi and Konkani. These are designed with simple phonetic cues and online audio files to help even non-native speakers (kids and grown ups!) learn these new languages. Experience new cultures.

To raise the $10,000 to print these two books, Akshata has started a Kickstarter Campaign! Get all the details by clicking on the image below. Help support this small business - pledge money, share with your family and friends. Join us on this adventure!

Little Patakha hopes to spark curiosity in young minds by introducing them to sounds, people and images they normally wouldn't come across. So they can learn from and celebrate differences instead of being wary of them. Let's do this together!

Children's books to introduce new cultures and languages - Planet Pichkari and Planet Pathrado.

Today Akshata, our nutritionist, helped about 300 Vermonters get vaccinated.

She says - "Everyone who worked today was kind, thoughtful and so excited to be there. Everyone who came in was thrilled and so grateful. So many talked about grandkids, kids and friends. The feeling of community coming together to help out was palpable. It was amazing to finally have a direct impact on this."

When it is your turn, please register for the vaccine. If you have questions, please talk to your doctors about the vaccine. If you want to talk to us, please feel free. If we cannot answer any question, we will make sure to get you in touch with the right people.

NEW VIDEO ALERT!

Supplements are now a giant industry that churns out new products on a regular basis. Our stores have aisles, and some have departments, dedicated to them. Most Americans take at least 1 supplement and not always because it was recommended by a healthcare professional. There is attitude that since supplements are "natural", they must be safe.

Is there really no harm in trying? Are supplements necessary? What do you need to watch out for in supplements? How many should you take? Does the form of the nutrient matter?

Akshata, our nutritionist, answers these questions and more in this video. Please share with your friends and family and don't forget to subscribe to our channel to stay updated!
