Can you possibly make someone eat healthier? A recent article from the column of Environment and Behavior says university students hoping to eat healthier may seek to invest in a clear fruit bowl.
The recent study found that when fruits and vegetables are within arm’s reach, students are prone to eating them. At the same time, to make fruit and vegetables more visible help increase the intake of fruit, however, it is not the same for vegetables.
It also reveals that placing apple slices and carrot cuts in nearer proximity to someone who participate increased intake of these healthy foods. To make the foods more visible increased intake of apple slices but not carrot cuts, partly for the reason that fruits taste sweet and so may be more tasty to the eye than bitter-tasting carrots. These data, which show the results with experiments that the proximity and visibility of fruits and vegetables can have influences on intake of these foods, are initial and newly published.
“Apples, but not carrots, have sugar, which is known to stimulate brain reward regions that induce a ‘wanting’ for foods that contain sugar,” the authors wrote. “Hence, apple slices may be more visually appealing than carrots.”
