研究:厨房越乱,吃得越多
Just Being In A Messy Kitchen Could Double Your Calorie Intake
Turns out, you're not just what you eat -- you're also where you eat.
研究证明,不仅你“吃的是什么”很重要,你“在哪儿吃的”也很重要。
Researchers from Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab found that study participants snacked on double the number of calories when standing in a messy kitchen compared to when they stood in an orderly one.
康奈尔大学食物与品牌实验室的研究人员发现,当人身处脏乱的厨房中,他们摄入的热量是身处整洁厨房时的两倍。
The researchers had 98 women spend 10 minutes in a kitchen, under the guise of asking them to wait for someone. Half of the participants stood in a cluttered kitchen, which was scattered with piles of newspapers and dirty dishes and had a ringing phone. The other half of the women waited in an organized kitchen.
研究人员邀请了98位女性参与实验,假装请她们在厨房中等人,待上10分钟。其中,一半等在脏乱的厨房中,四下散落着报纸与脏盘子,外加一部疯狂作响的电话。另一半则在一间井井有条的厨房中等候。
Both kitchens contained bowls of crackers, cookies and carrots, laid out for the participants to munch on. Each woman in the chaotic environment ate twice as many cookies -- a total of 53 more calories -- compared to those in the clean kitchen.
当然,两间厨房中均摆着一盘盘饼干、曲奇与胡萝卜,供实验对象享用。结果发现,身处脏乱厨房的女士比整洁厨房中的多吃了一倍曲奇,多摄入了整整53卡路里。
Why did this happen?
这究竟是怎么回事呢?
"Being in a chaotic environment and feeling out of control is bad for diets," psychology professor and study author Lenny Vartanian said in a statement. "It seems to lead people to think, ‘Everything else is out of control, so why shouldn’t I be?’”
