3 COLORS THAT IMPROVE YOUR WELL-BEING While some colors are signs of poor health, these three shades can have a positive effect. By Dr. Mehmet Oz RED PLATES If you want to put an end to I ate all that? reconsider the color of your dishes. A 2012 study in the journal Appetite found that people consumed less snack food using red plates than blue or white. Researchers credit our subconscious association of the color red with stopping. GREEN EXERCISE In a study in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, cyclists were asked to ride while watching a nature video infused with different colors. In a green environment, they perceived their physical exertion to be lower than in a gray one. So hop off the treadmill and head for the hills—or anywhere with lots of greenery. BLUE OFFICE Stoke creativity by introducing hints of blue into your work space. Researchers at the University of British Columbias business school found that people who used computers with a blue background came up with more imaginative ideas, possibly because the color is associated with openness and serenity.
