Eat Healthier by Putting a Mirror in Your Kitchen

December 10, 2010

Another great strategy for health that involves you making a small change to your environment and reaping the benefits forever.

Simply by placing a full length mirror in you kitchen, you are constantly reminded of your appearance, and you link the healthiness of the foods you are eating with its effect on your appearance.

The mirror has been shown to not reduce the amount of food that is eaten but (more importantly) how healthy the food is.

If placing a full-length mirror in the kitchen gives your guests the impression that you may be just slightly self-obsessed, try putting a mirror inside a pantry or cupboard door, or even behind food in a cupboard. Every time you reach for unhealthy food, look at yourself grinning back at you and make the right choice.
