Horror Movies Health Benefits: 5 Things You Must Know by kennyung: 8:22pm On Aug 28, 2014
Next time you are watching a horror movie you are not just watching but also having some health benefits. Horror movies health benefits are what we are going to see now. We can also relate similar genres like “Thriller”, “Suspense”, etc to it. But before going to the post I have a question to ask, have you watched a horror movie alone? At night? More importantly without muting or closing your eyes? Then you do have some benefits because it helps you to keep your mind alert. We explained about that in detail below.



1. Increased Brain Activity
You might have heard about the term “Brain Fucking” movies? But it is proved that Horror Movies help in our mental health, especially effect human brains. It has a positive effect on the mind, body and soul. According to Times of India (TOI), “Research suggests that while women watch horror flicks, the brain secretes neurotransmitter dopamine, glutamate and serotonin. Thus, increased brain activity gets the state of mind alert for a while. Additionally , threat signals that pass through the hypothalamus (in the brain) will stimulate the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline and opiates which has an anesthesia like effect.”

2. Strong Immune System
After watching the movie for half and hour, the system of the body will be calm and the defense system will become more powerful. That is when the immune system in the body will be stronger for a while.

3. Burn Calories / Lose Weight
Health experts say, making out with your sexual partner burns 144+ calories per half-hour. Meanwhile, The Telegraph published an article detailing the results of a study done by the University of Westminster on the calorie-burning efficacy of horror films. The best outcome is, “Watching horror films burns nearly 200 calories a time”. RELATED / USEFUL: 10 Top Calorie-Burning Horror Movies You Can Watch Instead Of Having Sex

4. Stress Resistant
When you watch a horror movie at night alone you’ll probably get something called “Adrenaline Pumping”, that is very good for you to resist stress. It acts like a stress resistant. The adrenaline rushes all throughout your body, activating your adrenal gland thus boosting your energy. It also helps you to avoid anxiety and depression.

5. Tackle Real Life Attacks

When you think you are in a danger state, then your mind will think of various ways to take defense and think further. It will give you the ability to anticipate things in real life.
