Is it true that you burn 10 calories every time you sneeze?

nope but if it was true then people with the flue should worry about disapearing ha ha ha ....=D

Nope.  Look at an exercise table and it will tell you how long you have to do a given activity to burn so many calories.  A small portion of ice cream probably has 200 calories, which you would have ro run for say a couple of hours for to burn.  Exercise is good, dieting is better, and both is best.

Sneezing helps u to remove an irritation from your nose.It is more of a response than a voluntary action. Like all other involuntary actions in our body sneezing also involves a lot of muscles. Some of these muscles may be involved in the closing of the eye lids. Being an involuntary action we are unable to keep our eyes open when sneezing. \nHowever we do find yogis who have control on many of their muscles - may be they will be in a better position to keep their eyes open when sneezing.\n\nOn the lighter side - what do you really expect to see when u are sneezing!!!!!

due to the sudden jerk you get while you sneeze, you automatically make you body tight and then suddenly it becomes loose. thus the blood pressure increases. \nSometimes people feely giddy due to a sudden and big sneeze. this is because, the brain cannot coincide with the blood pressure. thus it happens. but remember this is all just for quite a fraction of a second. \n\nHope it was clear enough.

Sneeze is an involuntary violent expiration of air through the nose and mouth. It results from stimulation of the nervous system in the nose, causing sudden contraction of the muscles of expiration. The stimulus can include any irritating factor in the nose—inflammation of the tissues as the result of a cold or infection, allergic irritants (hay fever), or irritating substances such as dust or pollutants in the air. An occasional sneeze usually has little significance. Repeated sneezing indicates that some condition of the nose or in the immediate atmosphere requires attention.

No. What are doing right before you sneeze? Taking in short breaths of air before finally sneezing.

'It is unclear, but scientists theorize that we close our eyes when we sneeze to protect them. We may be protecting our eyes from microorganisms and particles from our sneezes," But it could also be simply because a sneeze is a kind of bodywide reflex in which a lot of muscles contract, not just in the nose and throat but also those in the diaphragm, the abdomen, thighs, back, even sphincters (which is why some people with stress incontinence may urinate slightly when they sneeze).\n\nResearchers aren't sure exactly why the sneeze reflex happens, but whatever neurological message tells the eyes to close probably comes from a primitive part of the brain called the medulla oblongata in the brain stem.  And, it's not just an irritation in the nose that can trigger a sneeze; some people, probably because of genetics, have a photic reflex, which makes them sneeze in response to sudden, bright light.\n\nAnd, in case you were wondering about that old wives' tale about the heart skipping a beat when you sneeze, rest assured: It doesn't, though it may pause for a fraction of a second before resuming its normal rhythm.  That pause is believed to occur due to a change in intra-thoracic pressure, or pressure in the chest, when you sneeze. That pressure may stimulate the vagus nerve, which in turn slows the heart rate down for a brief moment.\n\nThis is not dangerous.   But it's believed that people began saying ''God bless you" when a person sneezes because they believed that, in that brief moment, you were between heaven and hell, and, if you were blessed, you'd be saved from damnation.

Yes and no.  You reach your maximum calorie burning potential after at least 15 minutes of continuous moderate exercise.  However, your body is always using calories no matter what you are doing.  You use calories just by being alive (breathing, digestion, circulation, etc.).  This is called "basal metabolism".  Activities over and above that will burn extra calories.  The longer you exercise, the more calories you burn.  The difficulty of the exercise you choose is also a factor.  If you are sweating and working hard, you burn more than just a leisurely stroll, obviously.\n\nTo determine how many calories you are taking in, you need to read labels and measure your serving sizes.  It's the only way to be sure.  For foods that don't come with a label (such as fruits, veggies, etc.), you can find websites that have calorie counts.

Standing in one hour burns 50 calories, but with your arms moving with the ironing, it would be 100 calories. So you burn 300 calories. Note: I am approximating it, though it should be around 300.

you sneeze once and you rub your nose and it might tickle your nose so you sneeze!

When you sneeze, it is said that your heart stops beating. \nWhen you cough, your heart is not affected.

Actually, yes it can be dangerous. Holding in a sneeze can force bacteria into your ear, and can even cause your eardrum to rupture. In addition, it can cause chest pain, and stress on the throat. In other words, if you have to sneeze, let it out! In class you might want to sneeze (or cough) into the bend of your elbow. It's the best place. Coughing or sneezing into your hand spreads germs.

As an owner of all 14 TJ videos NO. But in some of the Cardio Party workouts I have burned almost 600 calories in an hour and that was using a heart rate monitor to give me that. So depending on your weight you could POSSIBLY burn more but on the other hand burn less. TJ is a great workout and I don't know why they say that in the infomerciall because on beachbody.com/turbojam it states up to 700 calories per hour.

No. You just need to increase your metabolism. Once you do that, you will have the energy to burn calories more efficiently.

In a word, no, your heart does not stop when you sneeze. From my perspective, it is hard to even imagine what this would mean. A sneeze itself is really a very brief event, occurring in a shorter time then a heartbeat. Of course, there is the building up to the sneeze (the "ah" of the "ah-choo"), but the heart certainly does not stop beating because of this ah-ing. Check your pulse next time to prove this to yourself.\n\nAs I answer this question, I am trying to imagine just how the heart might even "know" that you are sneezing. The heart beats because a small part of it called the SA node has a "pacemaker" activity. What this means is that there is a type of electrical cycle going on that triggers beats roughly once every second. Sneezing does not change this electrical cycle, so the heart keeps beating. Said a different way, the muscle of your heart is a big mass of electrically active tissue, and this electrical activity will not stop because of a sneeze, or anything else for that matter.\n\nAnd yet, a sneeze is definitely a complex cardiovascular event. As you "ah" and "choo", you significantly change the pressure inside your chest, which in turn affects blood flow and thus the beating of the heart. Still further, I assume that a sneeze involves a significant activation of certain pathways of the "autonomic" (roughly means automatic) nervous system. These also innervate the heart and do affect the frequency and other aspects of the heartbeat.\n\nSo MAYBE the rapid culmination of these inputs OCCASIONALLY causes the heart to "skip a beat" after a sneeze. Notice I did not say "stop". We all experience skipped beats once in a while, some more than others. You may notice it as a "fluttering" in your chest, a sensation that generally evokes a bit of anxiety. What happens is that there is occasionally a discoordination of the normally organized pathways of electrical activity in the heart. Sometimes one part of the heart does not conduct the beat appropriately, or more commonly, another part actually manages to beat ahead of schedule, thus throwing the whole beat off. Either way, you get one beat that does not occur correctly. But all this means is that you have to wait for the beginning of the next electrical cycle to come around, at which time a normal, organized beat will occur (assuming that we are talking about a normal heart!). You see, the heart didn’t stop, really, since the electrical cycle was still ongoing. It just got out of synch for a while. Again, I am not actually aware that this happens with any increased frequency after a sneeze, but I suppose it is possible.\n\nTom Wilson, MD PhD \n\nhttp://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/mar98/890925984.An.r.html

No.  That would actually cause you to burn less calories.  When you're cold, your body burns energy to heat you up to 37C.  When you're hot, your body has to work less to heat you to that level so you burn less calories.

A hissy fit burns between 84 and 13479 calories, depending on whether the fit includes slamming doors, knocking holes in the wall, and running from the police. \n\nYour standard hissy fit, with some obscenities and insults, burns 101 calories. Add the pork rinds and the RC Cola, and the hissy fit actually adds 36 calories. \n\nRecommendation: a good hissy fit, accompanied by some plain old fashioned butt kicking is the very best. And it makes those big veins pop out on your forehead, which men find really attractive. \n\nYou go, girl.
