Stick on your Friends DVDs, because research from Nashville, Tennessee published in the International Journal of Obesity shows that 15 minutes of hearty laughter every day could lead to a weight loss of more than 4lb a year. It works muscles and makes the heart beat faster and apparently uses the same energy as a half-mile walk.
