Can movies affect your health?

Since the Lumière brothers invented the motion picture in 1895, movies have enthralled, inspired, and entertained us. Whether they're action-packed sci-fis, drama-filled biopics, or uproarious comedies, movies have a special ability to make us dream, laugh, or cry. And it turns out, the emotional responses caused by films can also affect our health.

Take a look at which genres in particular impact our physical well-being.

	Comedies: Laughter, they say, is the best medicine. And it's true. Studies have shown that laughing decreases stress, boosts immune systems, and even protects against heart disease by improving blood flow. (And let's not forget the other benefit of a good laugh: instant ab workout.)
	Tearjerkers: It's strange, but true — watching sad movies can temporarily increase feelings of happiness. According to Ohio State University, tragic movies cause us to think about our own close relationships and reflect on the positive aspects of our lives, thereby increasing our feel-good emotions.
	Horror: It's no secret that horror movies keep you on the edge of your seat. What may come as a surprise, however, is that this heart-racing genre can also help you burn extra calories. Research by the University of Westminster shows that the adrenaline surge caused by scary flicks lowers appetite while increasing metabolism. In fact, a 90-minute horror movie can burn up to 113 calories — about the equivalent of a 30-minute stroll. (Note: those with heart conditions should avoid horrors since they can increase chest pain and blood pressure.)
	Action adventure: And if you're not into horror, no worries. Action-adventure movies like Star Trek Into Darkness can still offer the same heart-pumping excitement.

Though catching a few good flicks can do wonders for your mood and health (and thus help prolong your life), it can't provide the same peace of mind afforded by a sound health or
life insurance policy. If you're looking for affordable, reliable protection, we can help!
