According to AsiaOne, a recent study has found that crying, especially the ones with all the feels and heavy emotions, can help you lose weight.

This is because the hormones from emotional crying helps heighten the cortisol level, and this happens when you have bottled-up emotions.

In fact, stress-induced tears were discovered to have the ability of getting rid of several types of toxic substances from the body.

Moreover, it’s not like our bodies can continue storing more fat when we’re shedding those tears, because all the stressful hormones that were suppressed would’ve already been released through this excretory process.

Hence, only Psychic tears that stream down our faces are said to have the “losing weight” effect.

Meanwhile, it looks like there is even a specific time frame to maximize this effect because scientists have apparently advised crying anytime from 7pm to 10pm, citing that this is the best time to sob over your favorite rom-coms or films with sad endings.
