Can't Resist Junk Food?Study Suggests You Try This Simple Trick You're tired and hungry.Then you catch a whiff of something delicious,probably fried and almost certainly fattening.It is fried chicken!(1)AAA new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.
Let's take a closer look at this process.Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose's attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it?What will happen if you're standing in line after a couple of minutes?(2)DD And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
The results of a series of experiments,including field studies at a supermarket and at a middle school cafeteria,show that extended exposure (of more than two minutes) to junk food smell (e.g,cookie smell)leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell(e.g.strawberry smell).(3)GGThat is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth,which in turn decreases the desire for consumption of junk food.
(4)EEWhen the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined,food choices were not profoundly influenced.The reason for this is that healthy food are not connected with reward in our brain and therefore have little influence on what we desire.
So next time you're feeling you don't have the will power to resist that French fries,it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two.(5)FF

3.There' s no place like home.It' s the place where we' re surrounded by our possessions and creature comforts.We purchase things to give our homes a personal touch.And one thing we're buying more of is houseplants.But are these "living" additions to our homes good for us and the environment?
Houseplants,also known as pot plants,add a natural touch and they have the ability to brighten up a room on a budget.The Royal Horticultural Society found that nearly 72% of adults in the UK had a houseplant in their home,with this figure rising to 80% of 16-24 year olds.A fifth of owners also said they use plants in the home to boost their health and well-being.And average sales last year were up on the previous year.
It seems millennials (千禧代) are driving the growth in the sales of houseplants.More young people are living in flats without a garden.24-year-old Daisy Hale said "being able to care for something but not having too much commitment—I guess that's a classic millennial line—is ideal for my lifestyle."
From hanging baskets,to cacti (仙人掌) and succulent ferns,the choice of vegetation is endless.They are easy to care for,and there have been unproven claims that they improve the air quality in our home.But whatever their benefits,there are now concerns that they might not be so good for the environment.Some are bought online and shipped from overseas.Fay Kenworthy,co-founder of PlantSwap,a community activity that encourages people to trade plants locally,said "this could defeat many local plants."
But botanist James Wong argues that home delivery has less of an environmental impact than multiple trips to the garden center in a car.Although he' s not too concerned about the environmental impact,others are worried about the plastic pots they are in and the type of peat (泥炭) that some of them are grown in.However,a sustainable approach to buying them may be the best way forward if we want to introduce some natural greenery into our homes.
