Curious about the healing properties of certain foods, or the drug interactions to be aware of if you eat grapefruit? Need a recipe for arugula or cous cous? Viroqua Food Co-op customers can now research food and health topics right in store at our Healthnotes Information Kiosk.
This easy-to-navigate touch-screen computer allows users to learn more about a wide variety of topics related to wellness. The Healthnotes system offers an encyclopedia of men's and women's health concerns, a vitamin guide, information about herbal remedies and homeopathy, safety checking for drug interactions, food and nutrition notes, recipes, sports and fitness information, and tips for weight management.
The VFC subscribes to a central Healthnotes information hub, updating data throughout the year. The kiosk is a great way for us to help customers with specific questions and encourage them to do some quick research themselves. You can even print out recipes and a shopping list. We know our shoppers appreciate this resource.
