Whether you're a student juggling heavy class loads and extracurriculars, or a professional managing projects and deadlines, Best In Class provides nutrition that aligns with research on high-quality food and peak performance.
Transform your day with snacks that fuel both mind and body.
Mental & Cognitive Advantages
Enhanced Focus for All Ages
Numerous studies have highlighted the link between whole, minimally processed foods and better academic performance. Adolescents who consume more produce, whole grains, and lean protein often fare better on standardized tests (Florence MD et al., J Sch Health. 2008). At the college and professional levels, a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants (like those found in nuts, seeds, and certain fruits) can further boost mental clarity (Esteban-Cornejo I et al., Public Health Nutr. 2016).
Stable Energy
Replacing sugar-laden snacks with nutrient-dense choices can reduce sugar crashes and promote sustained energy, which is crucial for extended study sessions or long workdays.
How Best In Class Helps: By highlighting snacks free from excessive sugars, artificial additives, and unhealthy fats, Best In Class ensures consumers experience steadier alertness—helping them remain focused whether in the classroom or on the job.
Physical Health Improvements
Supporting Healthier Weight and Cardiovascular Markers
Diets low in refined sugars, sodium, and trans fats can help maintain a healthy body weight and lower risks of high blood pressure or heart disease (Ledoux TA et al., Obes Rev. 2011; Freedman DS et al., Pediatrics. 1999).
Long-Term Wellness Benefits
Early interventions—such as providing youth with lower-sugar alternatives and nutrient-dense snacks—can have a positive ripple effect throughout adulthood.
How Best In Class Helps
Curated product selections favor baked or air-popped over fried, and low-sodium, whole-food ingredients over heavily salted, sugary snacks. This approach helps maintain more consistent physical energy and better long-term health.
Emotional and Behavioral Boosts
Mood Regulation
Dietary patterns rich in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats have been linked to improved emotional well-being (Sarris J et al., Lancet Psychiatry. 2015).
Alternatively, refined sugars and certain additives can trigger mood swings, adversely affecting both students' classroom engagement and employees' workplace interactions.
Behavioral Consistency
Sensitive populations (e.g., children with attention challenges) often benefit from diets free of synthetic colors and flavors (Stevens LJ et al., Nutr Rev. 2013).
The Best In Class Approach
By omitting artificial dyes and opting for real-food ingredients, Best In Class vending options minimize dietary triggers that can lead to behavioral or mood disturbances, fostering calmer, more balanced environments.
