Active communication with people not only helps elevate mood, but with age, maintain a beautiful shape and even get rid of
overweight
. Such information shared recently, researchers at Ohio State University. It turned out that much less likely to get the extra weight is observed in people who have a lot of friends and acquaintances. Of course, this argument is valid only for "live" communication ": many hours of sitting in the social networks as a favorable influence on the form does not have.
Scientists say that this phenomenon is determined by two main reasons. First, each person in the communication process spends a certain amount of energy. During an active conversation for an hour burns about 100 calories. In addition, a person who has a large circle of friends, a lot of moves, as always meets with people in different places.
However, it is not only this. The second factor contributing to the slimming sociable people - biochemical factors. The researchers say that the brain of a man who loves to chat, constantly in tone. These people have elevated levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. When there is an active communication, the neurons in the brain are activated that determine lipid metabolism. As a consequence, in the human body is increased concentration " brown »Fat, calories burned for heat.
To prove their theory, the researchers conducted several experiments in experimental mice. It was found that mice that lived in the active medium among his own kind, for four weeks, the concentration of abdominal fat half. At the same time, mice that were placed in the boxes one by one, feeding the same food gained weight.
