Healthier Vending Machines at the Office? Here’s How.

Andrea Ihara writes in Corporate Wellness Magazine vending machines — which satisfy office snacking needs — can become a stronger part of a company’s wellness plan.

How? First, let your vending machine operator ” know that you are aligning the vending machines with your current wellness initiatives and that it will take a partnership between you and the vending operator to make this happen.Whereas we can hope that you won’t need to change vending companies, there are lots of healthy focused vending companies who will be happy to help you.I would suggest asking the operator to begin with 1/3 of your vended items falling into healthy guidelines.There are lots of lists available of healthy snacks.Your own vending operator should be able to provide a list of what he has access to.”

Another tip: “If your vending operator has newer technology – you can request weekly or monthly reporting of what is being purchased from the machine.The vending operator does not have to provide this, but they will want to keep your account and keep you happy.These reports can be done completely anonymouslyand can show you the trends.”

Finally, Obamacare can also play a role in making vending machine options healthier: “As a result of the Affordable Care Act, it will be required for vending operators (with 20 or more machines) to display the calories of snacks and drinks in their machines (pending legislation).These calorie listings will have to be visible prior to purchase.As mentioned earlier, nutrition label visibility may be a part of the technology offering on the machine.You can request this.”

A few months ago I met Kay on the golf course. Who knew spinning a wheel would change my lifestyle. After winning a complementary Workplace Wellness visit for our company it gave me a new way of thinking about seeing a chiropractor. I have to admit; at first I was in it for the free lunch, but when Kay, Dr. James, and Dr. Ashley visited us it was far more than just a lunch. Everyone at our office enjoyed learning more about healthy choices that we should be making and knowing some of the comm…

I really like the Dr. Gianforte and the Minnetonka facility. Very nice people and I can’t wait to hear what she has to say and how she can improve my lifestyle.

The success we have at Finish Line Chiropractic would not be possible without the marketing system we have in place. Our marketing development coordinator, Kay Grobel, is what holds it all together. She is great at contacting people and building relationships, which has then turned into great opportunities for us to get in front of various businesses and groups. She is great at organizing events and helping make sure they go smoothly. We also utilize various marketing tools and programs, which h…
I would like to share my personal story on what Dr. Jim and Finish Line Chiropractic have done for my health. I have suffered from sinus infections for years and I have been on antibiotics 4-6 times a year for at least 10 years. It was recommended that I go through surgery to help open up my sinuses. I was miserable. My good friend Kay Grobel recommended that I come and see Dr. Jim at Finish Line Chiropractic. On my first visit I explained my concern about my sinus issues, and he shared with m…
In the fall of 2012, Dr. James came to my company for a lecture about food, wellness and toxicity. AsianCircle, an employee resource group, brought him in to educate us in the fall 2012. They were so impressed with the talk and feedback from the employees that they invited him back for a follow-up lecture in May of 2013 during the annual Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM). During the month of May, AsianCircle invites different doctors & professionals to talk about different topics on …
