Does laughing burn calories?

Answer by  carol (1241)

Everything you do burns calories. When you laugh you are definitely burning calories. But the sad truth is you only burn a little over one calorie per minute. Some people will burn a little more and some people will burn a little less. It is really all based on your metabolism.

Everything you do, from breathing to blinking to walking, burns calories. Laughing too burns calories. It is estimated that if you laugh for about fifteen minutes daily, you will burn an extra 10-40 calories, which isn't a whole lot but could add up.
