Vending machines are very popular in the UK and recent reports suggest that there are half a million vending machines across the country. These machines are selling approximately seven billion products a year, mostly chocolate bars, crisps and fizzy drinks.
Vending machines are attractive. The snacks and drinks are often packaged in bright colours and logos that we are all familiar with. Even if the products are priced higher than usual it is often more convenient to purchase from a vending machine than to go to a shop and browse through a whole range of products to choose what you are looking for.
Vending machines are ideally located, especially in busy waiting areas, large offices, hotels and apartments, warehouses, schools, colleges and entertainment venues.
The options in traditional vending machines are often limited to unhealthy snacks and drinks, but due to ease and convenience people find themselves preferring to choose something from the vending machine in their time of need rather than look for a healthier option.
Once in a while this is OK. Everyone enjoys the occasional chocolate bar, packet of crisps and fizzy drink, but it has to be in moderation and it has to be in combination with a healthy lifestyle and better food choices throughout the rest of the day.
Too many chocolate bars, packets of crisps and fizzy drinks can have serious implications for your health and wellbeing. The snacks and drinks are full of salt and sugar, calories and saturated fats.
If you enjoy too many of these snacks on a regular basis this can lead to increased blood pressure and cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, obesity, dental health complications, gastrointestinal disorders and even cancer.
