After binge eating over the holidays, many are now adding eating healthy in their New Year's resolution. Here are simple tricks and hacks on how to decorate your dining room to encourage healthy eating in the the New Year.
Eating healthy can involve a lot of work like reading food labels and calculating calorie intake. Elle Décor reports that the design of the dining room can also affect how a person eats.
According to the site, a recent study reveals that eating with mirrors around can help a person become conscious on what he or she eats. The study that was conducted at Cornell University Food and Brand Lab found that the presence of a mirror in a room can help a person reduce the consumption of unhealthy food because they can see themselves eating them.
Furthermore, eating in front of a mirror can increase mindfulness, and this is when a person realizes that he or she needs to make better food choices. That is why it is best to add a fancy decorative mirror in the dining room which can match the area.
Meanwhile, Curtain And Bath Outlet also has tricks to share on how to encourage healthy eating through various dining room designs. According to the site, using fruit as the table centerpiece instead of the usual vase of flowers can remind people to eat their share of fruits every day. Aside from that, the attractive hues of the fruits can also add beauty to the dining tables.
Another simple tip is to arrange the pantry in such a way that the healthy food is the most accessible, so when one needs to get a snack, he or she can reach for something healthy right away. Lastly, it was suggested that the room should be painted in relaxing colors like green because it makes a person feel more relaxed.
