Watching horror movies also helps to lose weight

British researchers discovered, watching horror movies will help us burn calories with a number of chocolates to provide and effectively reduce weight by 30 minutes on foot.

According to scientists from Westminster School (UK), the more scary the movie, the more calories we burn during the movie watching process.

The team showed volunteers a selection of classic horror movies. They measured and recorded the heart rate, the amount of inhaled oxygen and the amount of carbon dioxide released to learn about the amount of energy wasted by volunteers.

The team found that, on average, while watching horror movies, volunteers spent more than a third of their calories compared to when they sat in front of an empty screen. And on average, each person burned 113 calories in about 90 minutes watching horror movies, equal to the amount of energy consumed in a 30-minute walk and equal to the number of calories a chocolate bar provided.

Scientists say that movies make viewers look nosy or shudder is the most effective calorie burning solution, because they cause our heart rate to skyrocket. Experimental results show that the 1980 psychological horror film titled 'The Shining' played by Jack Nicholson is what helps viewers to consume the most energy, averaging up to 184 calories.

Daily Mail page quoted Dr. Richard Mackenzie, a metabolic expert at Westminster University (UK), explains: 'It is the release of fast-acting adrenaline, produced during extremely short periods of stress. or in the case of watching horror movies as fear, has increased the rate of basic metabolism and ultimately burns out more calories. '

Helen Cowley, a member of the research team, added: 'We all know the feeling of wanting to hide behind the sofa or grasping the pillow when watching scary movies, or nipping hair. This study shows that perhaps people who want to lose weight should watch horror movies often. '
