H.U.M.A.N. Healthy Vending: 5 Reasons Why You Love Them

Now, more than ever, the "Healthy Movement" is gaining support and momentum. Unfortunately, it is now, more than ever, that we need to seriously improve our standards of health and re-evaluate our eating habits. As a nation, we are in the worst shape that we have ever been in, and it's within our reach to completely turn that around. Healthy Vending is a huge step toward that goal!

H.U.M.A.N. is a healthy lifestyle company, owned by Nutrition Without Borders, that has built a world-class fleet of healthy vending machines as part of their effort to improve the lives of others by increasing the accessibility of health foods, drinks, and information, to all. H.U.M.A.N. - Helping Unite Man And Nutrition - has done their homework and really thought of everything. They've perfected Healthy Vending and taken it to the next level. They don't stuff generic "health" snacks into a beat up old machine, and expect you to swoon. They've researched and taste-tested the best of the best healthy products out there, and built a top-of-the-line fleet of environmentally-friendly machines to match. Check out the H.U.M.A.N. Healthy Vending Blog to see more information about their program and machines, as well as health news and advice!

Here are the top 5 reasons why you should LOVE this company and their amazing green machines:

Like traditional vending machines, H.U.M.A.N. Healthy Vending machines provide the convenience of having food when you need and want it. The difference is that the products which vend from H.U.M.A.N. machines provide quality nourishment that will actually get you through the rest of your day or night. These machines are popping up in gyms, schools, hotels, hospitals, offices, and community centers, across the nation. No more driving to the store, or going out of your way to pick up a healthy snack! On top of the time and location convenience, these machines can accept all major credit cards, can be key-fob enabled (a great feature for gyms), and can even take "campus dollars" for students who have meal plans with their colleges. If only this was available when I went to school, I could have avoided gaining that Freshman 15!

One of the biggest excuses to eating poorly is simply the lack of access to healthy options. These machines eliminate that excuse, by offering a variety of expert-approved foods and drinks that appeal to the masses. Every product that is allowed to go into one of these machines must meet the standards of H.U.M.A.N.'s board of physicians, nutritionists, and dietitians. They must also pass a number of taste tests to ensure that they are not only the healthiest products, but the best tasting as well. They realize that it doesn't matter how healthy something is if you won't eat it!

These machines have been built to last, and built to be green! The use of L.E.D. lighting alone conserves 30-50% of the energy required to run standard vending machine units. Combined with the other steps they've taken to make their machines eco-friendly, including triple-paned glass to keep their refrigerated units properly insulated, H.U.M.A.N. Healthy Vending Machines are the ultimate power-savers!

H.U.M.A.N. makes sure to include an educational component with each program launch, in order to fully communicate the importance of proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices, to the community. Each "Media Mogul" unit also comes equipped with a stunning 23" LCD screen that can display product purchasing advice, nutritional information, health tips, and videos that teach passer-bys about the benefits of eating right. Depending on the location of the machines, these HD displays can also function as bulletins, announcement boards, news feeds, and a place to run advertisements that support local businesses. I have yet to find another vending machine that takes advantage of technology, while trying to educate their customers. I like it.

H.U.M.A.N. is dedicated to improving the lives of others. Philanthropy is ingrained into their mission, and they are determined to change the vending industry, and the world, one machine at a time. They are tirelessly working to establish a grid of healthy and interactive vending machines that bring nutrition and nutritional information directly to the people, eliminating the problem of having them go out and seek it themselves. Additionally, I just found out that 10% of their proceeds are donated to charities that fight obesity and malnutrition. A vending machine company with a heart of gold, who knew?

State-of-the-art, 100% healthy product-filled, eco-friendly Vending Machines. Now that's what I'm talking about! Why aren't these available EVERYWHERE, yet? These machines are just starting to make their way into our communities, but I don't think it's fast enough. These machines should REPLACE every single traditional vending machine out there, pronto! Why should we have such convenient access to the junk food that is killing us, while all of our healthy options are a car-ride away or not available where/when we need them? Change is in the air, and H.U.M.A.N. is a cool fresh breeze blowing us toward a healthier future. Demand Healthy Vending Machines near you, and start snacking smarter!
