Turns out,you're not just what you eat—you're also where you eat.
Researchers found out that people had double the number of calories(卡路里)when standing in a messy kitchen compared to when they stood in an orderly one.
The researchers had 98 women spend to minutes in kitchens,under the guise of (以……为幌子)asking them to wait for someone.Half of the women stood in a messy kitchen,with piles of newspapers,dirty dishes and a ringing phone.The other half of the women waited in a clean kitchen.
Both kitchens had bowls of biscuits and carrots.Each woman in the messy kitchen ate twice as many cookies compared to those in the clean kitchen.
Why did this happen?
“Being in a messy environment and feeling out of control is bad for diets,''Lenny Vartanian,one of the researchers,said.“It seems to lead people to think,‘Everything else is out of control,so why shouldn't I be?'''
The study's size was small,but the findings prove something we know all too well:Stress(压力)is bad for you.Stress often causes people to overeat.Beyond weight gain,too much stress can also increase a person's heart rate,and lead to painful conditions like headaches.
While there are many ways to manage stress.including listening to music and exercising,this study shows that there are easy and quick things you can do to find calm.The next time you don't want to tidy up the kitchen,remember that the exercise will help you a lot in so many ways.
