LOCATION MATTERS

This sounds simple but sometimes we need reminders about simple things!  Where you place items you should avoid or eat a minimum of, is key!  A study by Cornell University a few years ago was done by placing two dishes of Hershey's Kisses in a busy office.  One dish was clear and was placed on a busy desk.  One dish was a darker color and was placed on a credenza 6 feet from the desk.  More candy was taken from the clear dish where the candy was easier to see and to reach.  Not an earth shattering finding but a good reminder to keep foods we shouldn't have out of sight and reach!  At home, keep fruits and vegetables in easy reach and sight rather than cookies and candy!  At the office set out some healthier snacks such as nuts, low sugar candy, etc.
