Laughing to burn fats
Have more laughters in your daily life. A report from the International Journal of Obesity discovered that laughing increases average resting energy expenditure. Volunteers were placed in a room that measures calorie expendicture, strapped them with a heart rate monitor and showed them some serious movies and some comedies…..
The results, laughing for 10 to 15 minutes a day burns 10 - 40 calories more than normal. It may not be a lot of calories, but hey, that is another reason not to stay gloomy.
