Snacking is one of the biggest causes of obesity and general ill health that we face in this country. When we get peckish, the chances are we will just reach for something that is small and easy to get hold of, which is why vending machines selling chocolate bars are so popular. However, many people would be equally as happy snacking on something healthy and only opt for the crisps or chocolate simply as it is the only thing nearby that will satisfy that craving for something to fill that space.
Therefore, whether you are an office environment, public space or even an educational establishment, having options for people to snack on something healthy can be beneficial for both you and those who may be hungry. By having vending facilities that offer healthy options not only will you be encouraging good health amongst those who are within your building, but you are actually more likely to sell more products too. Those on diets are going to be far happier to have a healthy snack and therefore far more likely to part with their money. Therefore, they win as they can eat what they want and you win as profits will be rising.
However, promoting healthy eating and using vending machines accordingly isn’t just about wider choice and higher sales. Instead, with obesity becoming an epidemic it is also simply a responsible move to take, particularly for schools. Even office environments where staff may be sat in front of a computer all day and in turn not getting the exercise they might need, such healthy vending options will help curb the rising number of people facing ill health and becoming overweight.
So why not promote healthy eating amongst your staff, customers and students – in turn they will end up being more productive, healthier and achieve far more too.
