Tips to Burn More Calories Throughout the Day

8. Laugh more often

Believe it or not, laughter can contribute to calorie burn. Laughing engages multiple muscle groups and can increase your heart rate, making it a joyful way to burn a few extra calories. A hearty laugh can raise energy expenditure and increase heart rate by 10 to 20 percent, translating to a small but significant amount of calories burned if you laugh regularly throughout the day. A 15-minute laughter can burn between 10 and 40 calories, depending on your weight and the intensity of your laughter. Also, laughter is a great stress reliever that can indirectly support weight loss by reducing stress-related eating.
