Workout in front of the screen

Image For many years we have been convinced that watching a movie spoils our eyesight, burns nerve cells, provokes aggression and promotes weight gain. Scientists have finally stood up for admirers of the most important of the arts. University College London researchers found that going to the cinema not only does not harm, but actually helps your health.

British scientists have learned that during a movie show, the heart receives the same stress as during light exercise. Tense and emotional scenes increase your heart rate, promote brain activity and improve attention. University staff confirmed this theory with the example of the Hollywood blockbuster "Aladdin", which brought the audience benefits comparable to a walk in the fresh air. As a result, the British came to the conclusion that it was time to equate watching a movie with cardio training.

In this curious news, there was a fly in the ointment for those who are used to organizing home cinema and television marathons: the best cardio effect is achieved when watching movies and TV series on the big screen.
