"How old is like telling people to change the diet is not effective," says Bärbel Knauper, a professor of psychology at McGill University in Montreal, as reported from HealthDay, Monday (7 / 3).
He explained that the research shows if someone has made a concrete plan about what to do, it's better to act on that intention is "What we do is merely add visualization techniques to assist their efforts to live a healthy life style," he explained.
Previously, studies conducted Knauper and colleagues recruited 177 students. By Knauper, students were asked to consume a lot of fruit.
They are required also to imagine how they will implement their plans, such as when, where and how they will buy, prepare and consume the fruit. As a result, those who plan to increase consumption of fruit two times more than those who do not plan or visualize.
