Is it true you can burn calories by laughing?

Answer #1

Actually, yes. There was even a study done: http://funadvice.com/r/14v3v9cmpjl

Answer #2

Sure you do. You burn calories doing practically anything with movement. As for the amount, it’s very little I assure you. No matter how much you laugh proper exercise is still needed. You burn approximately 1.3 calories per minute you laugh. If you laugh around 15 minutes you can burn anywhere between 10 - 40 calories. Nothing like good old exercise.

Answer #3

Well I have never heard of this but it sounds unlikely. I do not disagree because I have nothing to back up my statement. However, I do know that it takes like a 80 minute walk to burn just to burn 220 calories. Although, I do not think that laughing will burn many calories.

Answer #4

Interesting. If you read on it says four pounds a year! That is not a lot, but considering you’re not exercising, then that sounds reasonable.

Answer #5

You burn calories by lying asleep and motionless (around 70 kCal per hour) . You burn even more calories by sitting upright on a chair doing little other than breathing (around 90 kCal per hour). . Whatever you do (including laughing) you are burning calories - until you die ….. . …. and even afterwards while your body is decomposing - pretty well until you have wasted away to leave little except a bare bone skeleton. .

Yes for each and every act we burn calories. Even while sleeping we burn calories. The question will be how much we burn calories instead whether we burn calories or not.
