Encouraging a Healthy Diet with Fruit and Vegetable Motifs
Subliminal Messages May Provide Impetus Needed to Improve Dietary Choices
By Kyle McKeown Mansfield
Could art make you healthy? Health officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that less than one third of American adults eats the recommended 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables. One easy way to help us all make good choices is through the use of functional art. When you design your home with fruit and vegetable motifs they can serve as subliminal messages that selecting fruits and veggies is important for your diet.
For example, clip your shopping list onto your refrigerator with a Grape Magnet. Brighten your kitchen with an Apple Night Light that acts as a gentle reminder when you awaken with those nighttime munchies. You can have a constant positive message on your keys with a Cherry Key Chain. Using a Metal Wallet with Carrots will make you stop and think every time you buy a meal away from home.
Any of these ideas just might provide the impetus needed to reach for a healthy snack. Any actions that further the government's goal of getting 75% of Americans to eat two servings of fruits and three servings of vegetables every day by the year 2010 is a step in the right direction. Even small lifestyle changes such as these can help you make choices that promote a long and healthy life.
