Cleveland Schools Promote Healthier Food Standards with HUMAN Healthy Vending Machines

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) August 26, 2011
This fall, Ohio students will notice some changes as they return to their schools? hallways and cafeterias. Due to Senate Bill 210, better known as the Healthy Choices for Healthy Children Act, junk food options and sales on school campuses will be minimized and limited.
Compliance with this new legislation will be a top priority for school administrators and teachers across Ohio as they prepare for the upcoming school year. Fortunately, schools that have already partnered with local operators from HUMAN Healthy Vending will find compliance with the state?s new nutritional requirements an effortless endeavor.
HUMAN?s machines are stocked with only the most healthy and nutritious foods and drinks that have been pre-approved by a team of certified nutritionists and healthy vending experts.
HUMAN has 20 vending machines in Cleveland, including at Magnificat High School, Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School, and Westlake City Schools.
Two local HUMAN operators, Besma Rahim and Saba Bahrani, have 10 machines placed in a number of Cleveland schools. They just launched machines in University School, Western Reserve Academy, Hawken School, Lutheran High School, and Broadway Boys & Girls Club of Cleveland.
?Senate Bill 210 may pose a challenge for some schools, but with our machines, we are already 10 steps ahead of the game,? said Rahim. ?We exceed every school’s health standards. Not only that, these machines cost nothing for the schools and the kids absolutely love them. They’ve never seen such a fun vending machine!”
Traditional vending machines are stocked with unhealthy high-calorie and high-sodium foods that have been linked to childhood obesity. Due to this, the new law mandates that vending machines cannot be placed in classrooms, except in special circumstances. HUMAN Healthy Vending Machines bypass this requirement due to their completely healthy product selection.
Not only does the new legislation limit the sale of unhealthy foods and beverages, it also requires schools to mandate at least 30 minutes of physical exercise per day. Additionally, schools must administer a federal school breakfast program to students who meet specific requirements. These new legislative standards illustrate that positive changes for Ohio schools are underway, and healthy vending is aiding schools in this process.
HUMAN operators know the necessity of such changes. Besma Rahim and Saba Bahrani added, ?As mothers of three kids each, we understand the importance of healthy eating, especially for our children.?

Healthy Girl Introduces Nutritious Alternatives to Unhealthy Recipes
(PRWEB) January 21, 2010
CookingWithHealthyGirl.com is a new Web site that aims to help women and their families embark on the path to healthy eating and living. Healthy Girl provides healthy alternatives to recipes traditionally prepared with ingredients high in calories. Her recipes are the culmination of extensive research conducted on food, nutrition and the human body.
Mandy (Healthy Girl), the site?s founder, began experimenting with her favorite recipes in an effort to shed a few pounds. After trying a few diets with little success, Mandy realized that what she needed most was not a diet change, but a lifestyle transformation. By making just minor changes to dishes she already enjoyed, Mandy could still prepare her favorite meals and not feel guilty. She is excited to share her tips and advice on her Web site and to allow other families to enjoy the same meals.
The site highlights important aspects of a healthy diet, including a grocery list, weekly sweets, healthy morning meals and grocery staples that all kitchens should include.
Healthy girl focuses on six major points when creating healthy recipes: (1) Ensuring the recipe is full of healthy ingredients, (2) Making sure the recipe is tasty, (3) Making sure the portion size is big enough to be filling, (4) Ensuring the recipe should is easy to make, especially when preparing for children, (5) Having a recipe containing everyday ingredients that can be easily found in any supermarket and (6) Having dinner entr

Healthy Foods Tips in Urdu for Toddlers
Toddlers are children from the ages 1 to 6 years of age. This is the age, where the child’s body, brain, internal systems and overall health is developing. For this crucial development, all the basic nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and water are needed in appropriate quantities. But babies and toddlers of this age are very notorious and are picky about their favorite foods, which not always be healthy for them. Therefore, it is surely a challenge for parents to put together some healthy foods for toddlers that provide not only nutrition but also help in developing a taste for these foods. However, you need not worry about the task, as there are many healthy foods, which will do both the jobs at the same time and you won’t have a naughty toddler, but an obedient one! Here are some healthy foods for young children, take a look.
Healthy Eating for Toddlers
One of the biggest reasons why toddlers are picky about healthy foods is because, they are more attracted to colorful preparations which might not always be healthy. According to the “kid’s food pyramid”, which is intended for children within the age group of 2 to 6, toddlers are supposed to be eating the same healthy foods as adults, but in lesser quantities to avoid the calories.
Therefore, it is said that only 1,300 cals per day, is what an average toddler would require for a healthy diet. Depending on these strategies, feeding your toddlers with healthy food would mean, providing them with the appropriate amount of nutrition and avoiding overeating. In the coming up paragraphs, we have a few healthy foods for toddlers which will give you an idea, about what preparations you could make out of them. Read on for some healthy foods to eat.
]]>
Vegetables Make You Superman!
My mom always told me, eating vegetables will make strong, pretty, intelligent and smarter than my sister! Well, that was the bribe I got for eating vegetables, but most parents convince their toddlers that Superman always eats vegetables. To make their immune system stronger and for a better development of the nervous system, it is very important to feed about 1 cup of vegetables per day to toddler, in their first few years. Vegetables contain vitamins, fiber and minerals (calcium, iron, potassium, zinc) which are also required for building and strengthening bone structure. Thus, you can provide these iron rich foods for toddlers either cooked or uncooked, cut into small pieces or blended with milkshakes.
Fresh, Delicious and Fruity
In case of fruits, I am sure none of the toddlers are choosy! Fruits are juicy, full of taste and definitely a hit among toddlers. The average amount of fruits per day is 1 cup of pure fruit without additions like milk, water, etc. You can feed them fruit juices which are pure, to provide them with an adequate amount of fiber and vitamins. These can help in healthy digestion, and regulated bowl movements which are very important at this age of growth. You can come up with some delicious and healthy recipes for toddlers.
Grains and Useful Gains
Another most recommended among the healthy foods for toddlers are grains, which should be 3 serving per day. One slice of bread, 1 cup of rice or pasta, or 1 cup of cereal, oatmeal or a peanut butter sandwich and other whole grain foods can make a very healthy meal throughout the day for your baby. Grains are known as the high fiber foods for toddlers, and they contain proteins and amino acids which are required to build proteins in your body. Proteins help in building muscle and tissues, so that the bone structure is supported and your toddler looks healthy.
What’s Better Than Milk?
When a baby is born, breast milk and then formula milk is the source of nutrition for it. Toddlers are recommended to consume at least 2 cups of milk every day, to build their bones stronger and healthier. Milk and dairy products like yogurt, cheese, etc., are the best baby foods and consist of calcium, vitamin D, potassium, and other essential fatty acids for a healthy metabolism in the body. Therefore, milk has to be included for toddlers.
Lots of Vitamin B and Proteins
Vitamin B is something which is a very crucial ingredient in the making of a healthy body and better metabolism during growth. Meat is the best source of vitamin B complex and proteins, thus should be included in a toddler’s diet. Healthy eating for toddlers can also include other foods like fish, poultry, dry beans, seeds and nuts, legumes, and small quantities of red meat. You can prepare some yummy finger foods for toddlers. All these foods put together will make your toddler a healthy and strong individual in his/her initial age.
With these healthy foods for toddlers, I am sure you are convinced that a balanced diet which would include all the above mentioned foods is what your baby needs. So, make sure you provide them with everything they need for a healthy and strong body, such as “Superman’s”.
Greenville NC Eagerly Awaits New Installations of HUMAN Healthy Vending Machines; DSM, DPI & Dyneema First in Line
Greenville, North Carolina (PRWEB) August 24, 2011
For most people, healthy vending machines are not a household name. However, two local businesses are working together to make access to healthy food easier than ever.
HUMAN Healthy Vending and DSM may seem like an unlikely match, but they have more in common than one might think. Local healthy vending operator, Kamela DeSutter, is launching the first-ever, healthy vending campaign in Greenville, and DSM was eager to join her cause. Beginning in January 2010, DSM has made a strong commitment to their wellness program, even developing a ?wellness governance board? to support healthy choices made by employees and the community alike. So, when the company sought to find programs that would fit well with their new wellness initiative, they started looking into HUMAN Healthy Vending as an option.
?Our goal is to provide healthy snacking to our employees throughout the site for all shifts. HUMAN can provide our employees with a variety of healthy snacks to choose from,? said Sheila Nassef, DSM HR Wellness Specialist. ?We believe HUMAN Healthy Vending will complement our wellness initiatives on health and nutrition. Not only are we providing healthy options, we are uniting with HUMAN in giving back to the community? (HUMAN Healthy Vending gives 10% of its proceeds to charities that help fight obesity and malnutrition).
?We saw that there weren’t as many choices as we wanted that were healthy and supportive of good nutrition,? said Karen Warren, consultant for the DSM Wellness Program. ?We realized there were limits for what we could get through typical vending companies, and we were really impressed with the HUMAN product line and the LCD screens that could be used for nutritional education.?
HUMAN Healthy Vending machines feature state-of-the art vending technology. LCD screens are attached to the top of the machines, which can then display nutritional information and wellness tidbits. ?Putting healthy foods in the machines won’t be enough. People need to understand why it’s important to eat these foods…and they need something to taste good,? commented Warren.
The partnership between DeSutter, DSM and HUMAN is a milestone for the Greenville community. Creating universal access to healthy foods and drinks is HUMAN?s mission to the core. Now that the obesity epidemic is reaching an all-time high, employers in the community are recognizing a need for change.
?It?s really important that employees have healthy choices, and the environment has to support the changes that you’re making,? said Warren. ?Changing the environment to one with healthier choices was our goal.?
Various locations in Greenville are following DSM’s lead, including Physician’s East, Pitt Greenville Airport and The Hilton Greenville. Locations in the nearby city of Washington include Washington High School, Lifestyles Medical Fitness Center, Fitness Unlimited, and Beaufort Regional Health System.

Junk Foods versus Healthy Foods
Junk foods are those food materials which are perceived to be having none or very little nutritional value when consumed. As it has been revealed, junk foods’ ingredients are incapable of sustaining healthy body; which renders them somewhat useless in the body. However, junk food materials ought not to be under-rated in terms of their significance in the body. At sometimes, junk foods play important roles in human body; as they are involved in various metabolic activities, despite of them having low nutritional value. Though junk foods have been considered unhealthy for consumption, they have been found to be the most consumed foods among the people, as they are pleasurable to eat. In most cases, junk foods have been found to form addictions and obsessive as their continuous intake arouses the urge of wanting to consume them more often (Sanjur 88).
Most health care providers have been advocating for reduction of intake of junk foods among the people, as they lead to reduction of capacities to consume healthy foods. Junk healthy foods are always ready to consume and therefore, the tendency of people consuming them more often than healthy foods is high. For example sugary and fatty foods like ice creams and cakes among others have been found to be most liked by children, due to their availability and easy access without wasting a lot of time. As a result, many children end up concentrating in consuming such foods in larger amounts than healthy foods. Soft drinks like sodas also have been found to be liked among all the age-groups, despite having not worthy nutritional value. Such kinds of food materials have always been habit-forming, resulting into failure to improve one’s health; as such foods have no credible nutritional values (Winkleman 28).
Relationship between Healthy and Junk Foods
]]>
Healthy foods are those food materials capable of improving ones health by stimulating various body metabolisms. More specifically, healthy foods have very high nutritional values, resulting into their ability to improve and sustain body metabolic activities among the people. Healthy foods and junk foods have been found to complement each other in a way. Sometimes, individuals may be totally lacking appetite to eat healthy foods. As a result, they end up going for junk foods which in most cases results into increased appetites among the consumers. At other times, junk foods have been found to be accompaniments of healthy foods. This occurs in cases where the food to be taken requires soft drinks like sodas among others. For instance, bread may be healthy food, but its consumption without a soft drink may be difficult. On this basis, people may consume the bread with soda, even if it has no significant nutritional value. In this case, the soda acts as a facilitator for the successful consumption of the bread (O’Brian 20).
More so, junk foods usually arouse appetite to eat healthy foods; in which they act as appetite stimulators among low appetite individuals. For example, an individual may be unwilling to eat fried meat, but when some other additives are put in the food, the individual finds it more appetizing. In such cases, the junk foods would have played a very significant role of improving and reinstating appetite to eat other healthy foods. Certainly, junk foods and healthy foods have been found to intersect in various ways, where each food material taken, whether junk or healthy, finds its specific importance in meals (Houston 53).
At other times, junk foods have also been found to moderate the effects of excessive intake of healthy foods. More specifically, some individuals may over-consume healthy foods resulting into various health hazards. For instance, people who consume a lot of carbohydrates and fatty foods have been found to be prone to obesity and overweight body conditions. In this case, the individuals would find it useful to incorporate junk foods in their meals so as to reduce the rates of their body weights. In this case therefore, junk foods would be very helpful to individuals who have been found to have overweight conditions, by replacing the previously consumed high amounts of fats and carbohydrates with less nutritive foods. By so doing, the junk foods incorporated in the meals would act as weight gain moderators by having fewer nutrients to reduce the rate of weight increase among the individuals (Vargas 82).

Upstate Healthy Living to Launch HUMAN Healthy Vending Machines in Greenville, South Carolina
Greenville, South Carolina (PRWEB) August 26, 2011
For many Greenville residents, healthy vending is an unfamiliar concept–but not for long. Local vending operators, Buck and Meggie Bradberry, saw a need for change in the nutritional options available in the community. Like many Greenville residents, they recognized access to healthy foods was a challenge.
?We saw a problem: limited access to healthy, nutritious snacks and beverages in our community,? said Meggie Bradberry. ?We found the solution: increase access to nutritious foods, making it easier and more convenient to be healthy.?
By teaming with HUMAN Healthy Vending and forming their own healthy vending company, Upstate Healthy Living, Buck and Meggie Bradberry are making access to healthy snacks and foods easier than ever. They plan on doing so through their premium, HUMAN Healthy Vending machines, as well as through their healthy snack catering service for business meetings, large functions, and kid-friendly events.
Upstate Healthy Living will be placing HUMAN Healthy Vending machines in top-notch locations across Greenville, including Kemet Electronics, Elliott Davis, St. Joseph?s Catholic School, Caine Halter YMCA, GHS Family YMCA, Middle Tyger YMCA, Pickens Branch YMCA and YWCA of Greenville. Each location is excited to offer healthy choices to employees, customers, gym members, and students in the Greenville community.
?One exciting aspect for our locations is that they are receiving the most technologically advanced vending machines in the U.S., with credit card capability, remote monitoring, and a vend sensor system that guarantees a successful vend every time a purchase is made,? commented Buck Bradberry. ?And our favorite part of the machine is the digital LCD screen on top, allowing us to educate the end-consumer about the benefits of the product they are about to purchase, as well as displaying some fun, healthy living tips!?
The partnering of Upstate Healthy Living and HUMAN Healthy Vending is monumental for Greenville. Never before has such a program existed in the area. With the obesity epidemic reaching an all time high, communities are now recognizing a need for change. ?The benefits from treating your body well by simply eating healthy foods and exercising are priceless,? said Buck Bradberry.
Now, with the launch of 100% healthy vending machines, maintaining a healthy lifestyle has never been easier for Greenville residents.

Healthy meals for students and other busy people: 6-pack abs and gain muscle with good nutrition
www.scoobysworkshop.com Good nutrition is the secret to both losing fat and gaining muscle, in this video I show you how to eat 6 inexpensive, nutritious meals a day without cooking or shopping. This video is in response to the hundreds of people who have written me saying they knew their nutrition was horrible but felt powerless to improve it because of the schedule constraints of their work, school, or life. Eating 6 small, well balanced meals a day is easy when you know how and once your nutrition is on track you will find it easy to reduce bodyfat to show those 8-pack abs and gain muscle too. The one thing you need to do though is get rid of the idea that food always has to be tasty. Jack LaLane had a great saying “If it tastes good, spit it out!” and its so true. If something is that good then its most likely got too much sugar, salt, fat or artificial flavors. When something tastes really, really good your first thought should be – “whats in this?”. Think about what you are eating! If what makes it taste good is the nasty stuff mentioned above then spit it out. Obviously if you are eating a carrot or an apple and it tastes good this doesnt apply. The saying is designed to make you think about everything you eat. If you dont know what is on the list of ingredients and its nutritional content then SPIT IT OUT! Here are the meals I eat during the video 5:00am coffee and protein powder mixed in water (about 100 cals) 6:30am oatmeal with flax and protein powder (about …
