8 Kitchen Design Ideas for a Healthy Lifestyle by G.M. Roth

Willpower is not the only thing that drives us to have a healthy lifestyle. According to a study by Brian Wansink, a consumer behavior and nutritional sciences professor from Cornell University, environmental factors play a larger role in living a healthy lifestyle. If you want to be fit, you can make it easier by redesigning the kitchen in your home.

Based on Wansink’s study, a person’s weight is primarily influenced by what they consume in their homes and not by what they get at restaurants or vending machines. Kitchen design can highly influence the way you eat. To help you start your own healthy lifestyle, G.M. Roth Design Remodeling presents these design tips:

1. Place fruit on top of kitchen counters where you can easily see and choose them.

2. Remove kitchen clutter. During your kitchen remodeling in Nashua, NH, we can provide appropriate storage spaces to make sure your counters will be clear.

3. Rearrange food in the cabinet in a way that healthy foods are in the front of the first cupboard you reach. You can place chips, cookies, and other unhealthy snacks behind the fruit, or in a lower, harder to access cabinet.

4. When designing your kitchen, make sure to use a shade other than white. White hues can stimulate your appetite. Nonetheless, darker hues can also lead to slower eating time. Choose an in-between color, such as orange.

5. Remove the dining area away from the kitchen to motivate a little exercise.

6. Make food easier to prepare by maximizing countertop space. We can build kitchen islands that will inspire you to cook fresh food.

7. Focus on function when designing your kitchen. It should be a place to prepare food and not as an area to hang out in. This way, you’ll spend less time in the kitchen and avoid any unnecessary snacks.

8. If you have bigger plates and larger glasses, chances are that you will have larger servings of your food and drinks. Make sure you buy 9- to 10-inch plates and tall, skinny glasses.
