\"Healthy<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Vending machines are here to stay. As of 2018, there are 1.3 million snack vending machines in the United States that offer primarily high-calorie snacks. This is a problem for the almost <\/span>40 percent of adults<\/span><\/a> and 18 percent of children who are considered obese. Obesity, a serious medical condition, is known to cause heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high triglycerides and cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, stroke, and multiple types of cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

One way researchers are trying to convince New York City consumers to eat healthier is to include a 25-second time delay on vending machines that encourages the consumer to make a healthier choice before the vending machine releases the traditional snack from the vending machine. Brad Appelhans, PhD, a clinical psychologist at the Rush University Prevention Center and lead investigator of the study relayed that the \u201cdelay yielded a 2 percent to 5 percent increase in the proportion of total purchases from healthy snacks.\u201d The success of this approach stems from the fact that humans prefer immediate gratification, and immediate gratification influences choices and behavior. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But this isn\u2019t the only way to encourage New York City consumers to make healthy choices. Rather than creating an environment where individuals need to be psychologically encouraged to make healthy decisions, Healthy Vending provides only all-natural and organic beverage and snack<\/a> alternatives that are great tasting and enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Healthy<\/a><\/p>\n

With vending machine technology that allows consumers to read the nutritional facts about a specific healthy snack or beverage<\/a> before making a selection, New York City consumers can feel certain that they have made a good choice. Their wallets will also be happy as the majority of our healthy snacks and beverages are equal in price to unhealthy traditional options. It\u2019s a double bonus\u2014a happy waistline and a happy wallet. <\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to include students<\/a>. They also need healthy vending machine snack and beverage choices while at school. Rather than hoping that they will make a healthy beverage choice, offer great-tasting beverages that don\u2019t have large amounts of sugar or artificial sweeteners to go with a healthy snack. Together, Healthy Vending and your New York City school district will customize a list of healthy options to ensure that all items sold meet or exceed the minimum nutritional standards established by the USDA School Food Service Program.<\/span><\/p>\n
