  What effect lighting h4> There are studies Psychologists , alleging that bright light affects the nervous system so that people begin to eat faster. Also in bright light Visitors restaurants worse monitor how much they had eaten, says University of Illinois professor Brian Vansink (Brian Wansink). To avoid overeating in a brightly lit establishment, the expert advises to constantly have to remind myself mentally slower and order less food - so will not be able to be satisfied with the pen.
  
  These statements are confirmed by experiments. Several years ago, researchers at Cornell University in the US discovered how the general atmosphere of places influences on food consumption of its visitors. During the experiment, one of the fast-food establishments with energetic music and bright lights were redesigned - where the light was reduced, amid quiet jazz playing. Visitors randomly took their seats in the two parts of the restaurant.
  
  
  
  The researchers suggest that visitors "quiet" of the institutions will eat more as a pleasant atmosphere will contribute to the long "sittings". As a result, the hypothesis was confirmed by the length of stay, however, it became clear that in a relaxed atmosphere people actually eat less. Customers prefer to communicate and not to order additional dishes.
  
  Thus, in the subsequent poll, guests staying in a quiet and dark environment, put the dishes better grades.
  
  As a result, visitors area of ​​fast food consumed more food (an average of 175 calories more ).

  Accordingly, institutions that want to accelerate the "turnover" of clients and make sure that they ordered more, they use a bright light. At the same time, those institutions that are focused on generating positive reviews and high ratings from customers, establish a more relaxed lighting and use a nice quiet music.
