If you want to be healthy, keep a clear fruit platter handy.. Thus, whenever there is a desire to eat, the choice will fall on fruit, advises The Hindu, citing researchers Gregory Priviter and Heather Creary from the University of St. Bonaventure..

Remarkably, this effect is observed only in relation to fruits.. That is, the thicker they catch the eye, the more people eat them.. This scheme does not work with vegetables..

This conclusion was made during the testing of 96 students.

Pieces of apple and carrot were placed in front of them, placed in a transparent or opaque bowl at arm's length or at a distance of two meters.. The students were then left alone in a room for 10 minutes..

The researchers noticed that when slices of carrots and apples were left side by side, they were often eaten.. But transparent bowls made it possible to increase the interest of volunteers in apples, but not in carrots. Perhaps, since the apple is sweeter, the sight of it motivates a person more, affecting the brain..
