Pretty much wherever you turn these days, people are becoming more and more health conscious.  Whether it’s at the checkout at the grocery store or standing in front of a vending machine at the office, healthy options are becoming more commonplace because that is what people want.

 

Food = Fuel

 

We believe that you should think of food as fuel.  Nutrient-poor, sugary snacks are the type of fuel that may run hot at first, but flame out quickly.  They may provide a quick jolt of energy, but that jolt is often followed by a crash that almost always leaves you hungry, cranky, sleepy and struggling to concentrate.

 

Healthy snacks, on the other hand, are more like slow burning fuel – the type that keeps your energy level steady throughout the day.  Choosing a snack and beverage that is low in added sugar, without added chemicals or ingredients that even a PhD would struggle to pronounce, is a significant step toward a healthier lifestyle.  These snacks help you maintain your focus and lower the likelihood that you will overindulge at your next meal.

 

Why Promote Healthy Food & Beverage Alternatives?

 

Experts tell us that blood sugar dips three to five hours after you eat a regular meal.  Eating small, more frequent, healthy snacks in between meals will keep your metabolism revved up between those meals and will help to normalize blood sugar throughout the day.  Failing to do so could lead to bouts of extreme hunger.  That can throw your body into famine mode, which slows metabolism and makes it easier to pack on unwanted weight whenever you do eat something.  It also increases the likelihood that you’ll reach for the less healthy options to curb that hunger.  And almost everyone understands how distracting it can be to try to be productive when your stomach starts growling.

 

Your Employees & Customers Want Healthy Options

 

Healthy vending is about providing options to assist us in resisting the urge to reach for candy or other junk food like potato chips when a snack attack hits.  Nutrition really is the key to a healthy life.  Eat Right Vending, LLC is your resource for accomplishing this goal.
