One reason many people may reach for that cookie or chocolate bar over the healthier piece of fruit
in the fridge may not be lack of willpower, but of temperature. Why is that? Because of sensitive teeth, or a desire
for that warm soothing feeling, cookies and chocolate bars can rate better on the snack scale for some people.
While it is true that refridgeration makes fruit last longer, most of us will put fruit
into hibernation, buying it because we should but rarely taking it out of the fridge. Thus the pleasureable experience of
fruit juice dripping down our chins or the shot of B12 we may need to boost our energy gets denied because the fruit is simply
too cold to bear.
Solution? How bout giving the fruit some breathing room. Take it out of the fridge the day you plan to eat
it, set it out into a bowl to settle into room temperature so it's good to go when you want to have it. Dishing fruit out
hours before you want to devour it will not make it more temperature-friendly, but it will look more convenient for you to
get (no more bending down into the fridge drawer) and serve as a reminder for you to eat it.
