Studies Find That Scary Movies Boost Your Immune System and Help Burn Calories

I’ve been a horror movie fan since as far back as I could remember. Sure, they scared the crap out of me at times when I was a kid, and even a bit now, but I always kept coming back to them and always enjoyed the feelings elicited while watching them. I just came across some research by pure accident that suggests watching scary movies is not only good for physical health but mental health as well.

THE RESEARCH

Right away I did what I always do when I hear new information, I feel it out and remain open minded. Yes, I was skeptical at first but the more I dug, the more things made sense.

The general belief out there is that these movies are not healthy for you and often activate denser energies within the body. I have to say that I agree in some ways, but at the same time I never felt any negative effects personally other than the phobias I created in my own head about the girl from The Exorcist.

IMMUNE BOOST

A study performed on 32 males and females revealed some very interesting things about scary movies and how they affect our body.[1]

Researchers found increases in white blood cells which left viewers better equipped to fight disease and repair the body. This means watching scary movies actually boosts your immune system.

IT’S LIKE EXERCISE

In another study, researchers found that watching scary movies was also great exercise. A single viewing of various movies tested revealed that you can burn around 200 calories depending on the movie.[2]

WE LOVE GETTING SCARED

Researchers also suggest that we are able to experience positive and negative feelings at the same time. In this case, one might view being scared as negative, while viewing having a good time as being positive. Research has shown that people LOVE getting scared. So while they are being scared, they are actually having a great time and their body’s are secreting chemicals that prove the experience.

Research suggests it is obvious that what is taking place on the screen has no connection with reality and therefore does not arouse traumatic situations. In fact, watching what is happening on screen can actually strengthen the counteraction of the development of phobias. As the brain senses danger it produces additional energy directed at the activeness of neurotransmitters – glutamate, dopamine and serotonin. As a result, the body remains in a state of combat readiness for some time.

Another interesting factor is that a potential threat signal passes through the brain, specifically through the hypothalamus. Since the hypothalamus deals with the glandular system, it initiates the release of  adrenaline which causes the release of opiates which in turn creates an anesthetic type effect. This causes the phobic reaction to shut down and trains the brain to have a similar reaction in real life situations. In a sense, watching a horror movie is almost like a training ground for the body and psyche.

Even the National Institute of Mental Health suggests watching scary movies only creates small levels of stress which is considered harmless.

DEALING WITH OUR FEARS

Research done by Dr. Mathias Clasen suggests watching horror movies is great for our DNA as although we have memory deep down to deal with situations that may frighten us, our current environments often don’t put us in that state. Watching a horror movie acts as an emotional simulator for this and triggers our DNA to respond.

In my opinion, having the memory or experience of something scaring you can also be a breeding ground for you to face and overcome your own fears as well. From my personal experience of dealing with some of my fears around horror movies, it has created a level of confidence in facing things that scare me and has allowed me to navigate my mind and emotions more clearly  in other areas of my life.

THE OTHER SIDE TO THE COIN

Now of course there is always a flip side to a story, in this case based on anecdotal evidence alone, horror movies can cause disruptions in sleep patterns and can cause increased fear in certain situations if the mind relates the fear back to a movie it has previously seen. We can also be triggered by things in real life at times if they have happened in a scary movie we watched.

Some suggest that scary movies, more so slasher films, desensitize us to violence at times. Although the scientific evidence doesn’t suggest this, in fact it suggests the brain knows the difference and is actually better prepared in real life situations, there might still be something to be said about this.

FINAL THOUGHTS

I feel that like anything, it comes down to each of us when it comes to the negatives here. There’s a lot of people I know who would suggest scary movies are bad for you, your psyche and create a denser vibration. While there may be partial truth to some of this, I think it comes down to us. We can allow the images, sounds and scenes to terrify us and we can build it up in our minds, fear it and let it take over, or we can choose to work to go beyond them. I don’t say this only as a fan of horror movies but because I feel that we are capable of these things and our fears only happen within the mind anyway – which of course isn’t who we are.

For me, just writing this article has inspired me to fully face the exorcist girl fear I have. After all, it’s only going to help me deal with more fears in the future.

But what do you think? Have any other thoughts? Would love to hear more about this topic from you.

16 Reasons To Have Daily Sex

Stressed, burdened with life’s difficult problems and fear that your health is declining? Then sex is the answer to happiness, longevity and a healthy body. You don’t agree?

1. De-stress
Sex helps you reduce stress. When deep breathing exercises fail to de-stress you, sex will do the needful.

During sex your body produces dopamine, a substance that fights stress hormones, endorphins, aka “happiness hormones” and oxytocin, a desire-enhancing hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.

In a study, published in the Public Library of Science journal, three neuroscience researchers conducted a test on male rats and found that the sexually active rats were less anxious than rats with no sexual activity.

2. Great Form of Exercise
Making love is a form of physical activity. During intercourse, the physiological changes in your body are consistent with a workout. You must have noticed that the respiratory rate rises, which means you get tired. Hence, you burn calories. If you have sex three times a week for 15 minutes (but we know you can do better than that) you’ll burn about 7.500 calories in a year. That’s the equivalent of jogging 75 miles! Heavy breathing raises the amount of oxygen in your cells, and the testosterone produced during sex keeps your bones and muscles strong.

3. Lowers high blood pressure
Hugs and sex can improve your blood pressure. Sex reduces diastolic blood pressure, that is, the bottom number while reading blood pressure.

Researchers with the University of Paisley conducted an experiment on the same. They concluded that sex improves blood pressure.

4. Builds your immunity
Trying to fight the sniffles? Sex is the answer to fight cold and other health problems; sex can boost your immunity.

Immunoglobulin A, an antigen that fights the flu increases when the frequency of sex increases.

5. Makes You Look Younger
Making love three times a week can make you look 10 years younger, claims a Scottish researcher. “It’s good for you to have good sex,” says David Weeks, a clinical neuropsychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, whose study on the effects of sex on aging appears in his book, Secrets of the Superyoung.

6. Healthy heart
Sex helps you burn calories but it can also improve your heart. Sex will take care of stroke and heart attacks, you just have to enjoy the moment.

Scientists with New England Research Institute examined the effect of sex on the heart. The study concluded that men are 45 percent less likely to experience cardiovascular diseases. But the study fails to study the effect of sex on a woman’s heart.

7. Pain relief
Pleasure is the measure to beat out the pain. Do you experience migraines and body pain? Well sex is the answer. But if you experience back pain, it is best to consult a doctor.

Dr. George E. Erlich, an arthritis specialist from Philadelphia conducted a study on the link between arthritis and sex. He narrows down that patients who engaged in sex experienced less pain.

8. Builds trust and intimacy
The act of sex spikes the hormone oxytocin; this hormone is responsible for your happiness and love. If your feel your relationship is falling out, there is trust or you’re worried that your partner will stray away, then sex will dispel these doubts. The hormone oxytocin builds trust and brings couples closer, and cupid too.

9. Less chances of cancer
Regular ejaculation reduces your chances of developing prostate cancer. In an Australian study men who ejaculated 21 times a month were least likely to develop cancer. It is further supported by other researches that sexual intercourse reduces the risk of prostrate cancer.

10. Stronger pelvic muscles
Sex involves the use of several muscles; hence regular sexual intercourse can help you develop stronger pelvic muscles. Further, since the act of sex involves a range of muscles, it also helps strengthen these muscles – for ex: quads, your core, and the upper back. Through regular sex, you can also maintain a strong bladder and bowel function.

Strong muscles, calorie burner, improves heart health – sex seems to take care of you.

11. Prostate Protection 
Most of the fluid you ejaculate is secreted by the prostate gland. If you stop ejaculating, the fluid stays in the gland, which tends to swell, causing lots of problems. Regular ejaculation will wash those fluids out and ensure the well being of your prostate until old age. Problems may also occur when you suddenly change the frequency of ejaculations.

12. Induces sleep
After that great, lovely workout you are bound to get good sleep. But guess what? Sex works the same way as exercise. The increased heart rate leads to increased post-coital relaxation. Sex could be the next thing for insomniacs! So what really happens:
- Sex can relax you, hence if you are already tired, the act of sex will induce sleep.
- When men ejaculate they become lethargic, this can make them sleepy.

13. Regular periods
Apparently sex can improve your menstrual cycle. Sex regulates hormones, which in turn regulate the menstrual cycle. Sex reduces stress, which is one of the reasons women miss their periods. Sex seems like a better option than pills.

14. Prevents Erectile Dysfunctions
Fifty per cent of men older than 40 suffer from erectile dysfunctions and all young men fear the moment when they won’t be able to get it up any more. The best medicine against impotence is…sex. An erection keeps the blood flowing through your penile arteries, so the tissue stays healthy. Plus, doctors compare an erection to an athletic reflex: the more you train the more capable you are to perform.

15. Live longer
A healthy heart, stronger muscles, increased circulation of oxygen and happiness are some of the factors that add life to the years and as a result – years to your life.

A study published in the British Medical Journal reveals that men who engaged in sex often live twice as those who rarely had any action.

16. Healthier semen
If you’re trying to conceive, you increase the volume of semen if you have sex regularly. Regular sex replaces old sperms from the testicles. If there is a natural build of sperms it can lead to DNA damage.

Augusto Lakandula: The Guy Who Hijacked Philippine Airlines And Escaped Using A Homemade Parachute

Did you know?

A Filipino named Augusto Lakandula (later identified as Reginald Chua), hijacked a  Philippine Airlines jet on May 25, 2000. After collecting the passengers’ money and other valuables, the suspect, who appeared to be deranged, jumped at 6,000 feet from the plane’s rear door using a homemade parachute.

Did he survive his dramatic escape or mysteriously vanished like ‘D.B. Cooper’, the infamous skyjacker?

Read on to find out.

‘Mid-Air’ Crisis

Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/

On May 25, 2000, Philippine Airlines Flight 812 was en route from Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao City to Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, carrying a total of 278 passengers and 13 crew members on board.

A few moments after the plane took off, a man wearing a blue ski mask and swimming goggles declared hijacking. Apparently prepared to commit his crime, the man was also carrying ropes, a gun and a hand grenade.

During the incident, the man fired a shot into the aircraft bulkhead, forcing the pilots to let him into the cockpit. Carlos Neri, the plane’s co-pilot, described the hijacker as a deranged man who lamented that his family left him while his wife had an affair with a policeman.

The hijacker, first identified as “Augusto Lakandula” based on his plane ticket, demanded all passengers to place all their belongings in a bag. He also asked the pilot to have the plane diverted and return to Davao, but the pilot refused to do so due to insufficient fuel left.

Hijacking gone wrong

After his initial request was denied, the hijacker commanded the pilot to descend and depressurize the airplane so the door could be opened, allowing him to escape using a makeshift parachute.

Just before his dramatic exit, the hijacker asked the crew to show him how to jump using a nylon parachute he brought with him. Seeing that the parachute apparently had no rip cord, one of the pilots took a curtain sash and attached it to the homemade parachute.

The hijacker finally jumped at 6,000 feet from the plane’s left rear door while the aircraft was circling 13 miles from Manila. A flight attendant pushed him out of the door so he could escape against the strong force of the air. He reportedly separated from the parachute in midair and plunged to his death somewhere on a mountain in Real, Quezon.

With it’s rear door still opened, the plane finally landed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport. All passengers and crew members arrived safe.

Pinoy ‘D.B. Cooper’: Case Closed

The body of Augusto Lakandula, later identified by his family members as Reginald Chua, was recovered about40 miles east of Manila by local officials in Real, Quezon.

The hijacker’s body was nearly buried in mud and his belt bag containing cash and jewelry was reportedly missing. The remains of his homemade parachute was recovered about a kilometer away from where his body was found.

In an interview with the Radio Mindanao Network, Chua’s brother said that the hijacker actually had dreamed of becoming a skydiver and even collected books on skydiving. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to jump from an actual plane before the fateful event, which may explain why the hijacking ended up an epic failure.

Interactive Lamp Brings Raincloud Inside Your Room

Despite the loudness it brings, thunder is usually pretty much harmless. However, it is an entirely different thing when we talk about thunderstorms because it often comes with lightning – which can be quite dangerous.

Whenever thunderstorms occur, the advisable thing to do is to take cover by staying indoors and to stop using appliances. Electrical discharges from lightning can possibly damage your appliances so you might as well take proper precautions. To make matters worse, hail, tornadoes, and strong winds are other risks that can also come with thunderstorms.

If you are like most people, then chances are you have only seen thunderstorm clouds upclose on movies. Yes, there are those who may have taken a closer look as plane passengers but this is usually a rare case since aircrafts are usually advised against flying during extreme weather.

But did you know you can have a chance to have the experience of seeing (and even holding!) such a cloud right in your own room? Thanks to Richard Clarkson, anyone can now answer in the affirmative.

Aptly named “Cloud,” this wonderful lamp and speaker system definitely looks like the real deal – without the rain and the lightning, of course.

It’s pretty amazing considering that this interactive fixture comes with lights, motion sensors, and superb speakers. It even comes with a remote control that will allow you to set the lamp to various modes.

Jinggoy Estrada's kids engage Mo Twister in heated Twitter fight

Children of Senator Jinggoy Estrada are once again embroiled in controversy on social media, this time involving Mo Twister. The controversial DJ actually took the first shot on Tuesday night, angling to get involved in an online tiff with Jolo Estrada, who was involved in a controversy last month over supposed posts on Instagram showing off his lavish lifestyle.

That tweet quickly drew a response from Jolo's younger brother Julian Estrada.

That led to a heated exchange of tweets between the DJ and the teenager.

Before long, Jinggoy's eldest child Jel, a San Juan City councilor, stepped into the fray to pick the cudgels up for her brother by posting a lengthy screed against the DJ in a captioned post on Instagram.

"Ginoong Mo Twister (@djmotwister). Unang una sa lahat, matanda ka na para mag-hanap ng kaaway lalo na at gamit mo pa ang social media.

"Malamang na sa pag gamit mo nito ay maraming magagalit lalo na at kilala ka, maaaring panigan ka at paboran ka, tama o mali man ang mga kinakalat mong impormasyon. Pangalawa, kailangan mo ba mailagay under the limelight dahil laos ka na? Nakakaawa.

"Don't add salt to the wound. We sincerely pitied you when there was a 'leaked' video of you crying about Rhian Ramos having an abortion and you didn't hear anything from us. But I guess people like you do not deserve any amount of kindness because you think that being controversial in terms of being rude to other people makes you marketable.

"Now, we pity you even more. Pangatlo, do not ever call my brothers or anyone 'bobo' sapagkat walang bobo sa mundo. Kung mayroon man, siguro ikaw na po yun dahil ginagamit mo ang laos mong kasikatan sa pamamagitan ng paninira sa ibang tao without even knowing the truth about anything at tuluyang naniniwala sa haka haka.

"That is all I have to say about your judgmental ways and I do hope that God blesses you and your evil ways."

Mo, for his part, directed his ire at Jel.

Senator Estrada is currently detained at PNP Custodial Center following his arrest on plunder charges over the pork barrel scam.

Twitter troll

It wasn't the first time Mo Twister trolled for a fight on Twitter with a child of a senator arrested in connection with the pork barrel scam.

Last month, he also sent out a tweet baiting Jolo Revilla, the son of Senator Bong Revilla, prior to his father's impending arrest.

The younger Revilla did not respond to the tweet.

A mothers hand

Kanina may bata akong inalagaan. Karga-karga ko sa byahe na nakatayo sa bus ng isang oras. Iyak ng iyak na siya di ko alam gagawin buti may isang nanay na pinay lumapit at kinarga niya kaya tumaha sa pag-iyak. Ngunit kelangan na niyang bumaba may 30 mins. pa kaming byahe. Umiyak nanaman buti may isa nanamang nanay na pinay gumawa sya ng gatas gutom na pala ung bata. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na ang pagiging ina ang pinakamahirap na gampanin sa buhay. Magpasalamat tayo sa kanila di lang sa araw ng mga ina kundi araw-araw. Ano na lang gagawin ko kung wala sila kanina kaya kung sinuman po kayo kanina maraming salamat po. Mahirap maging nanay kaya sa mga kabataan mag isip-isip bago gagawa ng bata baka di kayo handa.
