Doesn’t it sound interesting?

THE THERAPY – HOW IT WORKS

Many might wonder that how can only laughing helps us in burning calories. But unbelievably it does. Many of us are unaware of the fact that we physiologically change tremendously when we laugh. We stretch muscles throughout our face and body, our pulse and blood pressure also goes up, and we breathe faster, sending more oxygen to our tissues.

So how does it help in burning calories? Actually, when we laugh then over 400 muscles of our body move and in this way it burns down the calories in our body. Studies and researches have shown that laughing 100 times offers an aerobic workout equivalent to 10 minutes on a rowing machine or 15 minutes in an exercise bike.

From here we can make out the amount of workout or physical exercise we are doing just by laughing. Many people regard it as mild exercise. Laughing along with certain arm movements like flying the arms is even better. It helps in burning down the calories even faster. Also, the person feels extremely relaxed and doesn’t feel tired at all.

CONCLUSION

So we can say that there can’t be any better method of burning calories other than this. The major advantage of this therapy is that you don’t have to do any sort of physical exercise and sweat for hours, rather you can burn calories even without sweating and at the top of it laughing, which nobody will hate at least. Moreover, there are absolutely no side effects and you will not lose on anything except for the unwanted calories you have added up.
