How slim down? Think, the brain burns a lot of calories

If you are carrying a few extra kilos and you have wondered how to lose weight, we have a trick with which you can burn a lot of calories.

How slim down? Thinking!

Many women constantly live with the goal of losing weight, and for this we do everything: diet, exercise, we even wear girdles of dubious effectiveness.

But there is a trick that does work, according to science: thinking. How so?, you will ask, Is it that perhaps thinking loses weight?

In the same way that calories are burned when exercising, we do it when thinking, because the brain consumes 20% oxygen and glucose of the organism.

According to a study carried out by the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), overthinking burns 350 calories a day.

«An hour of intense intellectual work consumes practically the same energy as an hour of physical work,» he explains to health 180 Ignacio Morón, professor at the University of Granada and researcher at the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC).
