Healthy Diet

diet-help-weight

Over a period of several days, a healthy diet should be comprised of approximately 50% of calories from carbohydrates, 20% from protein, and 30% from fat.  Everything you eat during this time needs to be taken into consideration.  500 Club selections help contribute to this goal.

Who Benefits?

HealthyLifestyleBy encouraging everyone to have healthy eating habits, everyone benefits.  Healthy employees are more productive and have reduced insurance cost.  The 500 Club selections can help those that are watching their calories, fat intake, or just choosing a healthy lifestyle

Not only does A to Z Vending offer Simple Choices, but we are also a 500 Club member.

What is the 500 club?

A to Z Vending is one of only two** national vending members in the nation of the 500 Club, a healthy eating program designed by registered dieticians and recommended by physicians at Gunderson Luthern Medical Center.

All 500 Club selections have 15 grams of fat or less in fresh food machines.  The 500 Club is designed to help you meet the healthy eating goals of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines.

As a 500 Club member we offer a variety of healthy food and beverage choices that if consumed in moderation will not only promote health but also assist in the management of a healthy lifestyle.

Healthier choices will mean a happier, more productive workforce.  Absenteeism costs an average of $602 per employee, per year.  And that doesn't even include the cost of temporary workers or overtime to get the work done.

The bottom line is that healthy employees mean a healthier bottom line.  This especially helps with the soaring costs of health care.  In the last five years, health insurance premiums for U.S. employers rose five times faster than the rate of inflation.

Just think that for every dollar invested in a work site health program, you could expect about $3.48 in reduced health care costs along with $5.82 savings because of less absenteeism.

Help your employees be healthier and more productive - with 500 Club items from A to Z Vending.
