Calm music and dim lighting reduce appetite

If you are going to dine in a place with bright lighting and loud music, keep in mind that the amount you eat may significantly exceed the usual portion.

American scientists claim that pleasant music and dim lighting have a subtle beneficial effect on your figure, because in such an environment a person consumes 175 fewer calories.

Scientists came to this conclusion by analyzing the behavior of visitors in restaurants. In quiet, softly lit environments, people ate 18% less than usual and also enjoyed their food more. A calm environment increases satisfaction with food, which in turn reduces food consumption.

Nutritionists recommend bringing this “atmosphere of pleasure” to your home.
