Scientists have discovered that laughing actually burns calories and may help you lose weight.
It's no match for the regular forms of excercise, but laughing out loud for 10-15 minutes a day burns 10-40 calories, the amount in a small piece of chocolate.
The study, undertaken on students in Tennessee, US, may be the first of its kind, and indeed the first to discover that laughter produces energy.
