What do you see when you look around your kitchen?

A Recent study from Mayo Clinic found that what you have VISIBLE
in your kitchen affects your health. For example:

1. Seeing fresh fruit on the counter = better health
2. Seeing boxes of breakfast cereal, candy, or baked goods on

the counter = poorer health
3. Having one cupboard where "snack items" can be hidden away

out of sight = better health
4. Having soda in view in the refrigerator = poorer health

It makes sense, doesn't it? We are drawn to consume what is within

closest reach and in front of our eyes on an ongoing basis. Take an

assessment of your kitchen and remove or hide those items that

would decrease your health, and make other healthier items more

visible.

Here's another thought along the same lines; what types of

commercials, Facebook ads, or magazine advertisements cross your

eyes every day? If you are constantly viewing advertisements for

baked goods, treats & sweets, it makes sense that you would be

drawn to eat those items because they are in the forefront of your

mind.

It might even be helpful to unfollowing Facebook pages that

constantly show videos and recipes for unhealthy foods, switching

the channel during television commercials about unhealthy foods

or restaurants, and buying magazines that put photos of healthy

foods in front of your eyes.
