Laugh and Decrease your Weight
If a person has a severe struggle with being overweight, but, unfortunately, is losing out on all fronts, unsuccessfully tried a lot of diets without any results then he can recommend a good laugh at his own failures. According to scientists, candid and carefree laughter also helps get rid of that extra pounds, though of course not as fast as the physical activities and other sports. A group of experts had held the first of its kind experiment in this direction.
The participants who volunteered in the study (both friends and family pairs) were placed in a classical chamber for measurement of metabolism, where experts made them laugh heartily for the main purpose of the experiment. The participants were reported, were required for the experiment for sincere laughter, which could not be obtained on request. This was essential because "Then they would have laughed a forced, and forced laughter which is controlled by a completely different part of the brain."
At the beginning of the experiment participants were shown a variety of experiences containing tranquil scenes of nature such as video recording of sheep grazing on green fields of meadows. Simultaneously, the special equipment measured the normal rate of metabolism by incorporating heart rate, number of inhaled oxygen and exhaled carbon dioxide. After that, the broadcast began inserting comic scenes and humorous TV shows in which for the purity of the experiment, voice-over laughing was removed.
As shown by the data measurement apparatus, the metabolism of the audience at this time accelerated to a great extent. After analyzing the data, the experts concluded that ten to fifteen minutes of laughter burns fifty calories a person, that is, a number that is contained in a piece of chocolate. Thus the results have established that in a year a person can lose two pounds, if he laughs every day.
It goes without saying that exercise or taking medications that suppress hunger, will achieve the same result for a few weeks or even days. But in most cases have involved people in the gym is usually not enough time, and the widely advertised "miracle" drugs are not in all cases can provide the desired effect. As for laughter, it is free, and its impact on health is extremely positive in all cases and situations. Despite the fact that the well-known adage "laughter prolongs life" still lacked a scientific basis, it is unlikely to be mistaken.
