Posting a photo of the food you’re about to eat on Instagram has become a daily ritual for many. Often this ‘food porn’ isn’t as appealing to those looking at it, but scientists are now claiming taking a photo of your food before you eat it makes it taste better.

在吃饭之前先拍照、上传网络共享的行为几乎成了许多人的日常准则。虽然看照片的人对拍下来的食物并不那么感兴趣，但有科学家称在饭前拍照能让照相者更好地享用食物。

Researchers at University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management claim taking a photo puts you in the moment and in doing so, heightens your senses. The person taking the photo will, on some level, feel the difference creating an incentive to continue the practice.

明尼苏达大学卡尔森管理学院研究者表示，拍照行为能将人带入特定时刻，此时你的感觉灵敏度上升，在一定程度上会感到与平常不同的氛围，从而有动力继续这一饭前拍照的习惯。

Kathleen Vohs, the professor of Excellence in Marketing at the Carlson School, wondered about the power of rituals after noticing the funny routines that people often perform before eating and drinking.

在观察到人们吃喝之前各种有趣的习惯后，凯尔森学院市场学优秀教授凯瑟琳·沃斯想知道习惯的力量究竟有多神奇。

Vohs and colleagues conducted experiments to investigate whether these kinds of ritualistic behaviour influences taste.
