According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.heart.org\/news\/survey-more-than-half-of-u-s-employees-who-typically-eat-lunch-during-work-hours-struggle-to-make-it-healthy\">recent survey<\/a> from the American Heart Association and Aramark, a U.S. based food service company, participants expressed that availability of healthy foods (43 percent), \u201cconvenience (60%) and taste preference (54%) as having a great deal\/quite a bit of impact on choosing an unhealthy lunch.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While those numbers aren\u2019t the best, there are two other numbers that are better. \u201cMore than 4 in 5 (82%) agree that having <a href=\"https:\/\/totalvend.net\/healthy.php\">healthy food options<\/a> at work is important to them and more than 2 in 3 (68%) value help from their employer in becoming healthier.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding these statistics and taking the next step can help employers determine the best way to provide <a href=\"https:\/\/totalvend.net\/pantry-service.php\">break room<\/a> refreshments for their employees. Rather than assuming which products employees would like to have available, employers should survey their employees to find out. Different individuals will have different preferences that develop from a number of factors including upbringing, genetics, culture and individual experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/totalvend.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/AdobeStock_321627668-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Healthy Vending Options in Louisville\" class=\"wp-image-356\" width=\"415\" height=\"274\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what makes a snack better-for-you? The broad definition is a\nsnack that has a high nutritional value or one that is high in protein,\nvitamins, minerals and fiber but low in calories, fat, sugar and sodium. A\npopular example is nuts. While nuts are high in calories and fat, they have\nlots of important nutrients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are three suggestions for choosing healthier snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>choose a snack that has between 150 and 250 calories. Always check\nthe portion size on the nutrition label. The portion size and the size of the\npackage are often two different amounts.<\/li><li>choose items that have about 3 grams of fiber and 5 grams of\nprotein per serving. Since fiber and protein can create a feeling of fullness, Louisville employees are likely to stay full\nlonger, decreasing the overall amount eaten.<\/li><li>avoid snacks that have more than 12 grams of fat per serving.\nConsuming too many saturated fats can raise LDL or \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol and\nincrease the risk of heart disease and stroke.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether Louisville employees need an unplanned pick-me-up or didn\u2019t have time to fix something at home to bring to work with them, access to healthy <a href=\"https:\/\/totalvend.net\/vending.php\">vending machine<\/a> snacks and beverages is a great option. &nbsp;It also supports what employees are looking for\u2014convenient and tasty choices and help from their employer to become healthier and access to better-for-you choices at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We at <a href=\"https:\/\/totalvend.net\/contact.php\">Total Vend<\/a> believe in supporting the Louisville area by providing a large selection of better-for-you and traditional snacks and beverages in our vending machines.
