Laugh out loud to burn a few calories
Scientists find energy produced by laughter can lead to weight loss

ATHENS, Greece - If you want to burn a few extra calories, laugh.

It�s no match for running, cycling or pumping iron but scientists said on Saturday laughing out loud for 10 to 15 minutes a day burns between 10 and 40 calories, the amount in a small piece of chocolate, depending on a person�s body weight.

�We calculated that this is equal to 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) a year if you do it every day,� Dr. Maciej Buchowski, of Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, told an obesity conference on Saturday.
