Enjoy watching your favorite films, being in complete comfort and at the same time improve your figure, just looking at the screen - do you think that this is an ordinary female dream? No, absolute reality, and even more than that, a proven scientific fact. Here are just films for this not all fit, but only the most terrible and emotional. This conclusion was reached by a research group from the University of Westminster in London, according to the results of a long scientific experiment, able to prove the hypothesis that horror films have a beneficial effect on losing a person's excess weight.
Participation in such an unusual study took 10 volunteers, who were shown a list of classic paintings in the genre of "horror". At the time of their viewing, each participant had to be under the control of special instruments that measured such readings as the outgoing carbon dioxide, the amount of oxygen absorbed, and the number of heart beats per minute.
Oddly enough, each film lasting 90 minutes saved an individual participant an average of 113 calories, which is equivalent in weight to a small chocolate bar. It is worth noting that approximately the same result gives a 30-minute walk in the fresh air.
To the results of this scientific work, scientists also added a rating of the best paintings for weight loss, which includes all the films viewed by the participants in the experiment.
The first place in the rating went to the horror film “Radiance” - viewing it helps a woman to get rid of an average of 184 calories. The movie "Jaws", which took the second position, allows the viewer to lose 161 calories. 3 calories behind him the picture "Exorcist". Following her on the list are the best-selling books The Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, Paranormal, and Alien - their effectiveness in weight reduction ranged from 110 to 150 calories per view.
