You'd be nuts not to read this!

Nuts!  Those of a certain age will remember the classic advert and whilst not a big fan of TV advertising, it's one of those golden oldies (a little like Smash!).

Anyway, we're not here to wax lyrical about mahoosive advertising budgets and times gone by.  We're definitely right here, right now and Fat Boy Slim is always on our playlist!

Nuts

Certainly, if you are allergic to them, life can be very tricky.  Sorry about that.  If, however, you are able to eat them, why not eat more of them..  here are a few nutty facts (strange, but true)...

Cholesterol - we all need some and many of us have too much.  Briefly, there are two types of cholesterol; LDL ("bad") and HDL ("good").  There is research to suggest that there is a relationship between eating more raw (unprocessed) nuts and a reduction in the levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol.  One report showed those eating around 70g/day reduced their LDL ("bad") levels by 9.4%.  Pretty impressive (references below, OK).

Fibre - if you want a healthy digestive system and everything that goes with it (sparing you the details!), you'll need to be eating plenty of fibre.  Well, once again, raw nuts (unprocessed) are pretty nifty in this area too.  Another great thing about fibre rich foods is that they increase the feeling of fullness and satiety as well as stabilising blood sugar levels.  What's not to love?

Anyway, this is a blog about all things vending (as well as the occasional opinion!) and 24vend is delighted to be able to offer you a machine that can vend nuts really niftily.  Going great guns in the Netherlands and shown in a megascreen cinema complex not far from Amsterdam, maybe you can add it to your portfolio?

Get in touch if you want to know more about nuts or even nut vending machines
