Want to stay healthy - then place fruits in a clear bowl within arm’s reach, so that you could help yourself whenever you felt the urge to eat.
The new study says that when fruits are within reach, people are more likely to eat them. Greater visibility of fruit increases their intake, but the same does not hold true for vegetables.
Researchers Gregory J. Privitera and Heather E. Creary, both from St. Bonaventure University, Olean, U.S., tested a total of 96 college students by placing apple slices and carrot cuts in either clear or opaque bowls at a table close at arms’ length or at a table two metres away.
