Reddit users are split over report that crying between 7-10 pm can help with weight loss
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently examining potential health concerns associated with a group of medications used for weight loss.
These include the likes of Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. The FDA's quarterly report revealed that the agency is investigating reports of alopecia (hair loss), aspiration during surgery, and suicidal ideation among individuals using these medications.
Ozempic, containing Semaglutide, was originally prescribed for controlliA recent study gaining attention on social media suggests that shedding tears during a good cry might contribute to weight loss.
The report, initially featured on AsiaOne, weaves a narrative that implies watching a sad movie and shedding genuine tears between 7 pm and 10 pm could have unexpected benefits.
The headline that sparked interest reads: "Crying between 7 pm to 10 pm can help you lose weight, claims study."
The study proposes a connection between emotional tears and weight loss, suggesting that the release of cortisol, a hormone, increases during genuine emotional outbursts.
For those less prone to tears, the study indicates that the weight loss benefits are derived only from authentic, heartfelt sobbing.
The study claims that crying can burn calories, asserting that the heart muscles burn about eight-and-a-half calories per hour at rest, with an increased rate during emotional stress. This calorie expenditure may be intensified by the cortisone-releasing effect, supposedly at its peak between 7 and 10 pm.
Social media reacted with a mix of humor and hope, with individuals contemplating the idea of scheduling their crying sessions for potential weight loss.
While this study offers an amusing topic for discussion, health experts may view it skeptically. Traditional methods, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise, are typically more reliable for health, happiness, and weight management.
So, before turning to tear-inducing movies or personal woes for a good cry, it's essential to approach this news with caution or perhaps a dry handkerchief. While tears may provide emotional benefits and potentially act as a mini heart workout, the scientific evidence linking crying to weight loss remains unclear.
Users on Reddit expressed their thoughts, with some humorously stating their skepticism and others considering incorporating scheduled crying into their routine. As with many unconventional claims, it's crucial to approach this one with a grain of salt until supported by more robust scientific evidence.
