不想打扫厨房？你可能会吃更多！
The researchers had 98 women spend 10 minutes in a kitchen,under the guise of asking them to wait for someone. Half of theparticipants stood in a cluttered kitchen, which was scattered withpiles of newspapers and dirty dishes and had a ringing phone. Theother half of the women waited in an organized kitchen.
研究人员让98名女性在一个厨房里等10分钟，假称她们要在那里等待某人到来。其中有一半人置身在杂乱的厨房里，到处是一堆一堆的报纸、用过的盘子，电话还在响。另一半人置身于一个整洁的厨房之中。
Both kitchens contained bowls of crackers, cookies andcarrots, laid out for the participants to munch on. Each woman inthe chaotic environment ate twice as many cookies — a total of 53more calories — compared to those in the clean kitchen.
两个厨房里都备有碗装的饼干、曲奇和胡萝卜，作为休闲小零食提供给参与者。相较于那些置身整洁厨房的参与者，身处环境杂乱的参与者人均吃下饼干的分量是另一组参与者的两倍——即多摄取53大卡的热量。
Why did this happen?
为什么会这样呢？
“Being in a chaotic environment and feeling out of control isbad for diets,” psychology professors said in a statement. “Itseems to lead people to think, ‘Everything else is out of control,so why shouldn’t I be?’”
“置身于杂乱的环境之中会让你感觉一切都不受控制，这种状态对于节食是非常不利的。”心理学家解释道，“这种环境会导致人们产生这样的想法，‘既然一切都已经越出常轨，为什么我不能这样呢？’”
While there are many ways to manage stress, includingmeditation, exercise and therapy, this particular study underscoresthe fact that there are easy and quick things you can do to findcalm. The next time you procrastinate tidying up the kitchen,remember that the exercise will benefit you in so many ways.
或许应对压力的办法有很多，包括冥想、锻炼、心理咨询等等，不过这项调查研究证明，还有许多轻松易行而且见效迅速的方法，让你能赶走压力。下次你为要不要清理厨房而纠结的时候，你应该告诉自己，这种活动会对你有多方面的益处。
