Getting enough water throughout the day is extremely important. However, staying hydrated can be challenging. Because it’s important to drink water regularly, especially during cold and flu season, here are some tips that will help you stay hydrated.

Try Drinking Water Before You’re Thirsty

Did you know that when you’re experiencing feelings of thirst, your body is already dehydrated? That’s right! You should always start your day with a glass of water. It’s recommended to have two glasses of water when you first wake up in the morning.

Keep Track of Your Hydration

Luckily with today’s technology, it’s easy to keep track of your hydration. If you check your smartphone’s app store, you’ll find that there are plenty of well-rated hydration-tracking apps. Most of these apps will not only help you track your water intake, but it will also remind you to continue to drink throughout the day!

Always Carry A Water Bottle With You

Wherever you are throughout the day, you should always carry around a water bottle with you. If you’re at work, the gym, or school, there is likely a vending machine that serves water bottles nearby.

Familiarize Yourself with the Signs of Dehydration

If you’re experiencing dehydration, your body will usually tell you. If you currently have any of the following symptoms, you should drink water as soon as possible:

Thirst
Dark-Colored Urine
Headache

Why You Should Always Include Bottled Water in Your Vending Machines

Posted on April 15, 2020 by Orsino Vending

Water is an essential nutrient that we need to consume daily. On average, we should be consuming about eight glasses of water per day. When you’re busy at work, school, or roaming around the town it’s easy to forget to continue to drink water throughout the day. For this reason, businesses should always include a water option in their vending machines. Besides quenching your thirst, drinking water has plenty of other benefits. Let’s take a look at some of them!

Water Helps with Dehydration

Caffeinated drinks like coffee and teas can promote dehydration. If you’re an avid coffee and tea drinker, it’s important to incorporate water throughout the day. If you are experiencing foggy memory, fatigue, headaches, or irritability, then that’s a sign that you need to start drinking water!

To help keep your body hydrated, you should always have at least one glass of water with and between meals. Plus, drinking water at these times can help keep you fuller longer and tame your hunger throughout the day!

Stay Energized by Drinking Water

Dehydration also has negative effects on your mood and energy levels. During a busy day, the last thing you need is to feel fatigued and unmotivated. To work effectively, you need to remain hydrated. Drinking water throughout the workday will help maintain a healthy heart and blood pressure, as well as, keep you energized and focused throughout your long day.

A Healthy Option to Drink Throughout the Day

Consumers are starting to pay more attention to learning about the ingredients in the foods that they eat and drink every day. Water is the healthiest beverage you can drink, so it’s only right to include multiple water options in your vending machine. Not to mention, options like sparkling water, purified water and bottled water all save you calories throughout the day.

With New Year’s right around the corner, people around the world are preparing their resolutions, and in many cases, that will include a goal to eat better in 2017. It’s a great resolution to have, but it’s often easier said than done due to temptations being all around us, including the workplace. If you’re a business owner and you know your employees are trying to eat better, help them out by providing healthier snack and meal options in your vending machines with Orsino Vending.

We offer numerous healthy snack options that will not only help your employees keep their resolutions but help others make healthier decisions as well. Some of the brands we can bring to your vending machines include Sun Chips, Smart Food and Snackwell, as well as baked versions of your favorite Lay’s potato chips. We also offer low-calorie alternatives, including plantain chips, low-calorie cookies, popcorns, trail mix and other healthy options to stock at your business.

By having these healthier options in your vending machines, you take the stress that can come with the resolutions and reduce it considerably. This not only makes your employees’ day a little easier, but also improves their overall spirit which could then catch on with others.

Apart from the people with resolutions, adding new health-conscious choices allows you to offer great options for people who may not have a resolution but still conscientiously eat well on a daily basis. If they do, chances are they don’t snack much. However, when they do, having healthier options in the vending machines will allow them to indulge slightly without breaking their eating regimen.

These healthier options will also provide an opportunity for other employees or guests at your business to explore eating better as well. Some of them might not know these different foods are out there. So by having them in the machine, you not only educate but give them something better to consume in the process.

Promoting Healthy Eating With Healthy Vending Machine Choices

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Joseph Orsino

Vending machines play an important role in the office environment. Serving up welcomed refreshments to keep energy levels high among employees is crucial to the work day.

Too often however, vending machines are stocked to the brim with unhealthy and too sugary snacks. It is a well-known fact that when sugar is consumed it provides our bodies with ample energy, but once that sugar rush wears off (and it happens quickly) we crash and start the craving process all over again.

There are plenty of healthy snacks that provide the same satisfaction as sugar and high carbohydrates without the negative effects. Since your employees need fuel to concentrate and be productive throughout the day, here is a list of what should be in snack and fresh food vending machines. At first, your employees might grumble, but overtime they will begin to see how much better they perform when great food is readily available.

Snack vending machine:

Low sugar granola bars

Salt free or sea salt nuts

Whole grain crackers

Pita chips

Rice cakes

Dark chocolate

Fresh food vending machine:

Salads

Fruit

Vegetables

Low-fat dressing and vegetable dips

Chicken salad

Tuna sandwiches

Aside from food vending, beverage vending should be kept to low-sugar drinks and water.

By offering a healthy option, you are giving your work staff a chance to stay focused with foods that are good for you and delicious. At Orsino Vending, we supply snack and fresh food vending machines as well as those equipped for beverages. For a free vending machine consultation, contact Orsino Vending today.
