The successful program ran from February 1, 2012 to April 15, 2012 and helped 489 students in the Evansville area complete goals in eating healthier foods, exercising, and reading.

The HEALTHY BODIES, HEALTHY MINDS program is a by-product of the successful reading program, Score With The Aces, which is also the result of a collaborative effort between ProRehab and the University of Evansville. The HEALTHY BODIES, HEALTHY MINDS program fits into school wellness programming and creates a user-friendly approach for teaching healthy lifestyle strategies to elementary school students.

During the three-month-long program, students were rewarded for reaching daily goals that related to diet, exercise, and reading. Meeting specific goals offered unique prizes: members of the Aces visited the classroom to discuss good lifestyle habits; students received HEALTHY BODIES, HEALTHY MINDS t-shirts; and students were able to participate in healthy lifestyle activities with Aces players and staff at their respective schools.

The first HEALTHY BODIES, HEALTHY MINDS program was met with resounding success! states Andrea Baumann, ProRehab Physical Therapist and co-owner. Students were energized by reaching goals and will now be able to make healthier decisions in the future. We hope to make this an annual event and include even more students next year to continue to spread wellness throughout Evansville and beyond.

Sprout Healthy Vending, a national leader in making the vending industry in a healthy direction to work, school and community, will now be available for people of San Ramon, California, thanks to the new operators Kalasapudi Arun and his wife Sandhya.

Born and raised in India, Kalasapudi moved to the U.S. for his expertise with a specific goal in mind: to become an entrepreneur and create their own business.

Sprout is my first step in the right direction to become self-employed and return to the community where I live. The idea of ​​engaging in the sale of healthy when it came I realized that the machines in my workplace contained only soft drinks and other typical vending products that have large amounts of sugar and fat. Kalasapudi explains.

Kalasapudi continues, I also have a child of seven years and has had its share of dental problems with your first set of teeth now, probably the result of chewing candy, chips, etc., but if there had been no such healthy options readily available that may not have the same dental problems today. Then I decided to look for options that not only help solve problems with my personal, family picnics, but also help my goals of giving back to the community through my own business.

cofounder Chris Wyland states, This is a great business opportunity for anyone who is trying to work for themselves and for someone who wants to feel good about what they are doing. Kalasapudis investment in health and welfare of their children, as well as its community makes the perfect fit for the outbreak of the family Healthy Vending.

Besides the importance of being involved in the business of selling healthy Kalasapudi said, for him, that was so essential a part of a business that should be particularly proud to own and promote.

had initially seen the outbreak of the healthy vending machine to their website and I loved the color combination and the fact that it takes multiple forms of payment, Kalasapudi says. Moreover, the machines of the technological capabilities are remarkable. There is a convenient remote monitoring system so you are able to control its inventory of machines and track their sales, no matter where you are on.

I think the market accepts this concept because I’m, in large part, pointing to a much sought after residential area in the Bay area with a lot of school children and community. I am firmly convinced that a business will be welcomed, as it promotes healthy eating habits and a healthy lifestyle in general, states Kalasapudi.

Knowing that the market is so willing to accept this idea, Kalasapudi and his wife try to spread the word Sprout as often as possible. When my wife and I describe Sprout Healthy Vending others always say it’s a unique concept and initiatives to promote healthy eating habits in all age groups. We offer a healthy alternative to sandwiches every day needs of children and adults. No reason why not everyone should participate, Kalasapudi reveals.

describe their main objective market, Kalasapudi sounds like it could refer to someone much like himself. My target audience is someone who is attentive to his personal habits and family, someone who wants to give a good / healthy foods in your workplace, home, gym, school, etc., and tells someone who encourages others to healthy food, Kalasapudi.
