According to recent vending industry figures, consumers are depositing well over thirty billion dollars into food and drink vending machines annually.  And if our own YoNaturals experience is indicative, vending sales — especially those associated with healthier snack food and beverage choices — are likely to continue to grow.  Increasing numbers of us, after all, are concerned about the role of proper diet in maintaining health as well as in guarding the waistline.

There’s no reason not to benefit from this growing commerce in healthy convenience foods.  And food vending itself has always been recognized as an industry largely impervious to the whims of economic cycles.  Whatever the economic season, people can be expected to search out nutrition at regular times of the day.  And to prize convenience.

So is your organization passing up a golden opportunity to profit from the market in vended snack foods and drinks?  And equally to the point — are you letting slip by an easy opportunity to favorably influence dietary choices among your staff and perhaps thereby lower your organization’s group healthcare premiums?

Becoming an operator of a YoNaturals healthy vending machine is easier than you think and the profits you will share from its operation may surprise you.

Furthermore, with over five hundred varieties of healthy snack food and beverage choices, including many of the most popular sellers, hosting a YoNaturals machine at your location may result in a healthy increase in your own popularity — as employees and others learn that you are the one responsible for providing them with healthier choices!

Contact our YoNaturals marketing department today, and learn how vending machines can make dollars (and sense) for you.

And now imagine that business involves conveniently retailing food products that absolutely everyone agrees are wholly beneficial to public health — and are in fact a welcome relief from the junk food choices which have plagued America since the very advent of machine vending.

At YoNaturals we take pride in supplying America with healthy vending food choices — hundreds of foods and beverages selected for their delicious taste and low content of fats, salts and sugars — and in supplying opportunities for entrepreneurs like you to profit from what comes naturally to those eager to earn an attractive living doing what’s good for their local communities.

And we’ve been remarkably successful at it, despite the economic uncertainties of recent months.

Marketing hundreds of healthy food items through our nationwide armada of state-of-the-art vending machines, we’ve parlayed an inspired vision into a modern day entrepreneurial dream.  Our YoZone, and YoThirsty and YoHungry vending machines are steadily replacing those old-age machines which dispense only junk foods.

And they are daily providing an eager public with exactly the kind of healthier food and beverage choices they crave.

And in so doing they are helping farsighted entrepreneurs to profit greatly.  Take a moment to ask yourself if your own zip code doesn’t include workers, or students or shoppers who wouldn’t love to have better, healthier choices in machine-vended foods.

Then ask yourself if the modest time it would take you to daily gather in profits and to re-stock vending machines with wholesome and popular choices isn’t something you could fit into your daily schedule.

We’re ready to show you just how a YoNaturals healthy food vending business is right for you — and all the many ways we can help ensure we both profit from the experience.

Leading healthy foods marketer YoNaturals Vending, for instance, now offers over five hundred different selections of wholesome food and drink options.  And our stylish and distinctive YoZone vending machines are increasingly visible in schools, offices and other public venues where hungry people gather.  With established brand names such as Stacy’s Chips, Silk, Clif Bar, Organic Valley, Vitamin Water, Roberts Pirates Booty, Horizon Organic Milks and other popular labels Yo Naturals distributors are well positioned to ride a healthy wave of change in nutrition habits.

A recent media article, taking a perhaps jaundiced view of the processed food industry, notes that in the case of apple sauce — for instance — fresh apples undergo a truly shocking assault on their nutritional value somewhere between the tree and the grocery shelf.

Apple juice, moreover, results from an even higher level of nutritional degradation — as any remaining fiber is often filtered away to leave little more than a memory of the fruit’s original nutritional value.

Nor is this all that Mother Nature has to endure in the food companies’ handling of her perfect apples:  Unhealthy amounts of sugars and other sweeteners are added by the processing of most apple sauces and juices, thus adulterating these products with additives that are often downright hostile to human health.  Several commonly added sugars are suspected by scientists of playing roles not only in the obesity epidemic plaguing America, but also in our rising morbidity rates from diabetes and other illnesses.

Decades of expert knowledge about what is — and isn’t — nutritionally beneficial has left its mark on the marketplace.  Though maybe not as much as one might expect.

And yet, leading snack food and drink distributor YoNaturals was surely onto something essential when it set out to reform the vending machine industry and vending’s poor image with public health experts.  Marketing over 500 natural and organic food and drink products designed specifically for vending machines, YoNaturals bet on consumers’ desire for healthier choices — and has been increasingly rewarded by a grateful marketplace!

As has her growing team of YoNaturals distributors.

It seems Mother Nature only needed a helping hand from those who truly understand her nutritional artistry.  And our own natural preference for it.

In fact, armed with the information gathered here and augmented with your own research, you may soon be on your way to securing the finances necessary to begin leasing or buying your own set of vending machines. Whether you intend to make it your primary means of income or use it as a supplement to your other ventures, the vending machine business offers a profit potential that is hard to beat.

Consider this: as far as small businesses go, the vending machine business is hard to beat for three important reasons. First of all, it is relatively simple to establish a vending business for yourself. After establishing a business plan, purchasing inventory, and setting things up logistically, you are ready to hit the ground running. Secondly, although many small business ventures have difficultly surviving the first few years of operation, the vending machine business is a relatively stable investment. Finally, when you lease or buy your machines and inventory from an established company like YoNaturals, experienced professionals can offer you advice about which locations you should target, how to track your machine’s performance, and what you should do to enhance your business model. In fact, the YoNaturals team has a great incentive to help you get your business off to a great start. When you succeed, the whole company succeeds.

Regarding your worries over the current economic conditions, it is important to remember that people will still need food and drink no matter what their 401k looks like. In fact, for many working adults, the office vending machines provide respite from the overpriced salads and sandwiches at the restaurants down the street. And during flush times, vending machines can provide food to people who want to work through lunch, or people who occasionally forget to pack their own lunch.
If there is anything that you can be sure of in this period of economic uncertainty, it’s that the average consumer will always have at least a few dollars to spend on a snack or drink to get themselves through the workday. Now is the perfect time to make smart use of your money and invest in this solid industry. Visit www.yonaturals.com today to find out how to get started.

But grown-up kids in the know might indeed welcome the sight of a YoNaturals vending machine as a gift under their holiday tree — given vending’s sterling reputation for generating steady revenue flows through both the ups and downs of economic cycles.

And numerous other excellent reasons have aspiring entrepreneurs starting vending businesses, even when Santa isn’t quite so generous:  According to a U.S. Department of Commerce study, new vending machine ventures are far less likely to fail than are business start-ups in general;  Seventy percent of vending entrepreneurs start out part-time, and are able to service their vending machines in their off hours while holding down full-time jobs elsewhere; Eighty-five percent of these entrepreneurs are then able to graduate on to full-time vending careers within only two years — perhaps the most revealing statistic of all!

How many other entrepreneurial ventures can offer quick and low-hassle start-ups, and the independence and personal satisfaction of an immediately profitable and steadily-producing vending business?  Just think about that for a moment.

And then add to all the above the reality that up to ninety-five percent of initial investment in a vending machine business can go directly for equipment and inventory, rather than peripheral expenses common to most other businesses; that your home can serve as your only office (thereby providing great tax write-offs!); and that vending machine start-ups often require no investment in hired labor.

With a YoNaturals healthy vending distributorship you have the added satisfaction of knowing that you are marketing truly wholesome food choices to a market increasingly hungry for such options.  With over one-hundred organic and natural snack and drink choices, we provide you delicious variety in deciding just how you will contribute to the nutritional well-being of your community.

Lastly, our turnkey business solutions offer an enlightened way to quickly walk new distributors through the process of vending business start-up, location selection, logistics, tracking and everything else a healthy vending business needs to insure maximum success.  The in-depth support our distributers receive from the YoNaturals team as part of our distributorship package — puts us on quite a lot of Christmas card lists!

Why not learn more today about how you can start your own YoNaturals vending machine business?  Our knowledgeable experts look forward to providing the answers that will help launch you along an exciting, satisfying and profitable entrepreneurial path!

Healthy lifestyles start with eating healthy foods. Get your kids into the kitchen to help you with dinner once a week. Teach them the value of eating fresh produce, and including it with your meals. Explain to them how you decide which foods should be served together, and teach them about the different components of a balanced diet. The things that you teach your children about food now will stick with them as they get older and start making their own decisions about what to eat.
Take your children out for some exercise sessions as well. A simple walk, jog, or bike ride can supply plenty of fresh air for you and your children while also providing you with other physical fitness benefits as well. Explain to your children why you think that exercise is important. With their help, make some goals for yourself and let them see you meet those goals. Impress upon them the importance of including exercise in your daily routine.

It is also important to the health of your child for you to model positive attitudes about your own body image. Just as you can positively impact your child’s ideas about physical fitness and balanced diets, you can also be a positive influence on their idea of self. By maintaining a positive attitude about your own body, you will not be reinforcing the ideas that they get from our modern culture about what a perfect body should look like and the lengths that one should go to in order to attain it.

Last but not least, don’t leave your healthy habits at home when you go out on errands. Choose snacks from YoNaturals organic and natural vending machines to keep your family on track to a lifetime of healthy eating habits, and, remember, the most important step that you can take towards being a positive role model for your children is that very first one.

Your children look up to you. They notice what you wear. They notice what you read. They notice what you watch on TV. They notice what you eat and how you eat it. Yes, for better or for worse, you, as a parent, are influencing your children every day of their lives. And in some cases, the habits that they learn now will stick with them for the rest of their lives.
Keeping that in mind, you may want to consider the impact that your own diet and exercise habits are having on your children’s health. With the prevalence of childhood obesity in this country, it is increasingly important for parents to model healthy lifestyles that their children can emulate. You can have a large effect on the current and future health of your children by implementing healthy changes in your own life. For example, if you emphasize including plenty of fruits and vegetables with your family’s meals now, then you children will grow up with the knowledge that fresh produce is the cornerstone of a healthy diet.

Beyond providing your children with well-balanced meals, you can also influence their physical fitness level by making exercise one of your own daily habits. Taking your children out for walks, jogs, and bike rides as they grow up is an excellent way to have a positive influence on their fitness levels. Also, in addition to making sure that they eat balanced meals, this is another way to protect your children against childhood obesity. Explain to your kids why you place value on good nutrition and daily fitness routines. This information will begin to make more sense as they get older, and they may even want to take on more challenging activities, like hiking, kayaking, and rock climbing. Encourage them in these activities, and go along with them if you can. Who knows, they may end up inspiring you to reach a higher physical fitness level.

Also, although you may be worried about your own weight, it is important to not fret about it in front of your children. Putting too much emphasis on maintaining the perfect figure can have a negative impact on their perception of self. Today’s teens and adolescents are already inundated with ideas about how their body should look, and many will go to great lengths to get such a body. You don’t want to reinforce these ideas, especially while your children are still growing and their bodies are still changing into their adult forms.
As a parent, you won’t be able to do everything and be everything for your child. However, you can positively influence the people that they are becoming. If you want them to be healthy now, and to grow into healthy adults, then make changes to your own diet and exercise routines. And don’t let those good habits go to waste when you leave the house. When you’re on the go, choose snacks from healthy vending machines like YoNaturals. It will be good for you and even better for your children.

As wives and mothers our jobs are dedicated to our entire family. Certainly the children are the top priority, but we also must look to the needs of the head of the household as well. In fact, all members of the family have special nutritional needs, and if we don’t provide those they will be unable to go about their daily chores whether it’s working for an employer, going to school and maintaining the home. It’s essential for you to be able to keep on top of any new developments either in new nutritionally balanced foods or new developments in ingredients currently in use. It’s essential also for you to know what is good for your family and what is only empty calories. That doesn’t mean we should never allow our children to indulge in foods that lack nutrition, but it should be on rare occasions.

In order to identify foods that are nutritious and set them apart from those that lack nutrition you have to know what is in both nutritional foods and those that lack nutritional value. You also need to understand that if you are comparing the nutritional value of various fast food restaurants, you will need to check each one. For instance, a hamburger at McDonald’s is different than one at Burger King. It can be in the way the food is cooked or in the ingredients that are in it either after cooking or as a side dish. For the most part you need to follow the recommendations of YoNaturals and make sure your family always has nutritionally balanced meals that consist of natural and organic products. It may be difficult to convince children of the value of nutritional meals, but you want to limit their unhealthy selections as much as possible.

The prevalence of obesity in this country is noticeable even to the untrained eye. A simple trip out to the grocery store or the shopping mall will reveal to the most casual observer that a significant portion of the population in America is either obese or overweight. Indeed, obesity is reaching epidemic levels in this country (and around the world), and it is bringing plenty of health problems along for the ride.

Around the world, as both modern technology and the collective standard of living have increased, people have been eating more calories at meal times while burning less of those calories through physical activity during the course of their work day. And the resulting calorie imbalance is part of the reason that obesity has reached epidemic levels around the globe. In fact, scientists estimate that there are over 1 billion overweight adults world-wide, with about 300 million of those adults meeting the threshold for clinical obesity. And unfortunately, the waistlines aren’t the only things that suffer, as obesity is a major factor in many diseases and ailments.

Furthermore, adults are not the only ones that find themselves facing this problem, and many children are finding themselves falling into the obesity category. Scientists estimate that there are 22 million overweight children under the five world-wide. Just in America alone, the Surgeon General notes that the number of overweight children has doubled in the span of a generation, while the number of overweight adolescents has even tripled.

While genetics does shoulder some of the blame for weight problems, bad genes do not take sole responsibility for the rapid rise in obesity around the world. Even in poor and underdeveloped nations, a host of studies have shown that obesity is on the rise. That is to say, obesity is a worldwide problem, and not confined to nations with somewhat closed gene pools.

Unfortunately, the bad news does not end there. The rising costs of providing health care for obese individuals continues to put a strain on health care systems as they continue to deal with the many diseases and conditions related to obesity, including high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, and increased insulin resistance. Effective weight management strategies must be adopted by the world at large if we are going to be able to get the obesity epidemic under control once again. And while world-wide changes in attitude and lifestyle are going to be slow coming, you can already take steps toward achieving this goal by eating healthier. This means choosing healthy foods and snacks.

Look for YoNaturals organic vending machines to find healthy snacks while you are on the go, because the most important changes will start with you.
