Weight Loss Plan: Laugh Lour Way To Weight Loss

By on February 4, 2011

If you are overweight and find it hard to exercise, there is a simpler alternative weight loss plan for you.

Just keep laughing. Repetitive laughter could bring similar effects on your body as brought about by exercise. A lot of scientists testify to this theory and a lot of people practice it. You might have seen many people in your neighborhood park laughing away in the morning. They are not only boosting their health and immune system, they are also burning calories and losing weight.

Laughter can help bring changes to your body that are similar to changes brought about by moderate exercise. The changes brought about by laughter in your body are enhanced positive mood, lowered stress hormones, increased immune activity, lowered cholesterol and reduced blood pressure; all these factors play a crucial role in bringing about weight loss.

Eustress (mirthful laughter) and distress have a powerful effect on modulating the key hormones that control appetite. If you watch an upsetting video or are stuck in some bad times, you will find yourself craving for more food, especially high sugar food.On the other hand, if you watch a humorous movie, you will find yourself laughing, forgetting all about food.

Laughter brings about various changes in the body. Your body’s response to repetitive laughter is similar to the effect of repetitive exercise. In people, who are depressed, sick, elderly and who don’t exercise because of their physical condition may lose their normal appetite, which is harmful at their age and condition. The laughter therapy may help normalize or enhance the appetite, so that the body is not deprived of nutrients.

An effective weight loss program for overweight and obese people should be a 360 degree holistic program. In addition to dieting and exercise, efforts should be made to make the patients laugh repetitively. This will not only help them to achieve their weight loss goal but also make the weight loss a fun-filled activity, keeping their motivation levels high towards achieving significant weight loss.

If you find the idea of joining a laughter group ridiculous or don’t have enough time for it, start renting comedy movies. Just make sure you don’t sit with fries and cola while watching these movies.
