It is better to follow the right rules of diet in the beginning in order to avoid any kind of artificial medicines later on.”

“McDonald’s has successfully used the famous golden yellow arches and red motif designed by architect Stanley Meson when founder Ray Kroc opened his first restaurant on April 15, 1955, in Chicago suburb Des Plaines, Illinois. The cheerful yellow and speedy red color formula helps create a happy eating experience while increasing table turnover.

Warm colors, such as red, orange, and yellow — which are connected to the lower chakras that involve digestion, motivation, and hunger — have been found to stimulate the need to eat. Other restaurants use the magnifying, expansive “red prana effect” to increase
table turnover while escalating the bill by elevating the
volume level of sound in restaurants, which causes
people to eat faster, drink more, and leave sooner.”
