Can this color REALLY kill cravings?

This is the EASIEST way I’ve found to “hack” your brain into choosing healthier foods… Does this sound familiar, {NAME}: You come home after a long day, take your shoes off — and all you can think about is that leftover pizza from last night. And no matter how many healthy alternatives you have sitting in the fridge… You can’t help but reach past the fruits and veggies to grab yourself a slice — along with a can of pop. If you can relate to this story, you’re not alone… Because let’s face it: “Giving in” to unhealthy snacks happens to all of us from time to time. And nobody’s perfect! After all, choosing a green salad can be tough when it’s right next to those cupcakes you were saving for dessert… And sometimes, willpower just isn’t enough to keep you from caving in. That’s why today, we want to share a few psychological tricks that can help you “train your brain” to choose healthier options… Without even having to THINK about it. We call them the 3 Craving Hacks — and they’re all backed by some pretty cool science. Are you ready? Let’s dive in:  Craving Hack #1: Tap, Tap, Tap To kill a “junk food” craving almost instantly, try tapping your forehead as you walk to the kitchen. See, tapping your forehead triggers something called your hippocampus — the area of your brain responsible for appetite.1 This works because the gentle tapping helps distract you from the mental image of unhealthy food… So by the time you get to the fridge, your craving will be gone — and you can make a healthier choice. Craving Hack #2: Check Yourself It may sound a little strange — but putting a small mirror in your fridge can help you kick “junk food” urges every single time. You see, researchers found people who saw their reflection while choosing their food automatically made healthier choices.2 And if your fridge is already reflective — even better! Craving Hack #3: Go Blue This one’s our favorite… simply because it’s the easiest. Whenever you store indulgent “treats” in your fridge — whether it’s ice cream, a piece of cake, or a “cheat meal” you’re saving for the long weekend… Keep them inside of BLUE containers. Yep, that's it! You see, the color blue isn’t really found in nature — so it doesn’t stimulate your hunger (as opposed to colors like yellow or red). In fact, studies show that seeing the color blue in the evening can actually help suppress late-night cravings.3 (And if you don’t have any blue containers, don’t worry — a simple blue sticker or “sticky note” can work just as well.) There you have it! Three easy (but SUPER effective) ways to kick your “junk food” cravings to the curb. These tips are super helpful, especially when you're not feeling particularly motivated… And they can work wonders in helping you stay slim and healthy at home (especially during the quarantine). So go ahead and give these tricks a try, then hit “REPLY” and report back with your results! :) Stay Healthy, Stay Happy The Whole Body Research Team [Wbr logo](   Sources: 1.
