An app to help you eat healthily
The Department of Social Psychology at the University of Groningen is studying how best to support people in their efforts to eat more fruit and vegetables. Users could draw up an action plan, receive personal advice and study recipes. Some of the participants received feedback in writing, others in verbal form.
