White House Organic Garden – An Anti Aging Role Model

by GiGi

You may have read that Michelle Obama is planting an organic garden of vegetables and fruits. The first vegetable garden the White House has had since Eleanor Roosevelt.

Although the garden will supply the family meals, the greater intent is to educate children about healthful, locally grown fruit and vegetables at time when obesity has become a national concern.

Fifth graders from a local school will help with the planting and tending of the garden.

Politics aside, you’ll have to agree it’s great to see a vibrant, healthy first family that knows the value of good nutrition and exercise. What a great anti aging role model – I, for one, hopes that this is a “trickle down” theory that works!

(Be careful if you go there not to get side tracked into reading about Franklin Roosevelt’s affair with Lucy Mercer. How is it we keep getting sidetracked like that?)

I think it is great that the white house will be the home of an organic garden. This will inspire people to copy this. This is not only very healthy but also economical and very satisfying. What fun it is to go out to your garden and get your salad for the evening meal. I hope everyone will get on the bandwagon…

Organic food is the way to go for anti aging as well as looking and feeling younger. The antioxidants help reduce aging, but the lack of toxins also help all at the same time. The first step is to find an organic market near you, and see if their produce is both fresh and tasty, if it is , you know it’s better for you. Good to see that the White House is a ‘role model’ in this regard.
