ho knew movie night had so many health benefits? Whether you buy a ticket or rent to watch on the couch, just make sure the movie is a tearjerker and the snacks include popcorn. That combo should enhance emotional wellbeing, help reduce weight and boost antioxidant levels. Researchers at Ohio State University in the US report online in the journal Communication Research that we enjoy watching films like Titanic or Atonement because it prompts us think about our own close relationships, which makes us happy. The study, led by Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, was based on responses from 361 university students who had viewed a shortened version of the 2007 film Atonement, which involves two ill-fated lovers separated by war. Those who felt they had experienced a greater increase in sadness while viewing the movie
were more likely to write about real people with whom they had close relationships, Knobloch-Westerwick said, which in turn increased their happiness. By contrast, students whose thoughts were more selfcentred, and who compared their own lives with those of the film characters, rather than thinking about their loved ones, did not experience increased happiness. When it comes to diving into the popcorn, scientists at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania reported the popped kernels contain higher levels of antioxidant substances called polyphenols than fruits and vegies. However how the popcorn is cooked makes all the difference in whether it is a healthy snack. Air popping is best. Cooking it the way cinemas do – in lots of fat and salt – gives it more than twice the calories and loads of fat and sodium, although the antioxidant properties remain. Source: AAP
