The TV is broken and keeps flickering. Watching it for a long time can actually help you lose weight.

Can watching TV help you lose weight? In order to lose weight, many people are afraid to sit in front of the TV because they may have to sit there for several hours. However, an Australian study shows that when people are hungry and see flashing images, 23% of them will immediately stop wanting to eat. So when the TV you are watching is "broken", it may have an unexpected weight loss effect.

A study by psychologists at Flinders University in Australia found that when people are hungry and see flashing images, 23% of them will immediately stop wanting to eat.

A study by psychologists at Flinders University in Australia found that when people are hungry and see flashing images, 23% of them will immediately stop wanting to eat. Compared with those who did not see the flashing images, this group of subjects consumed an average of 40% less calories.

Research indicates that when humans have an appetite, it is because images of delicious food pop up in the brain. Once these images are cut off and the brain's focus is diverted, the desire for food can be restrained. By using dynamic visual noise, such as flashing images, the brain's attention can be diverted, which can successfully make the subjects less eager to eat and thus reduce their appetite.
