yes of course

Thank you "very much" Nour Shakir with appreciation

Yes, indeed deep thinking contributes to reduction in calories.

I think that. deep thinking lead to increased focusing, which lead to burn more calorie.

It depends on the type of thinking, if positive thinking then the logical answer is NO, and vice versa....

I agree with Emad Kali Husain sir

Yes .. because thinking is energy consumption ...

Yes/No. It depends. Critical thinking that helps the brain and get problem solved OR thinking under duress/depression that causes problem for the heart?

It is definitely not burning more calories in thinking. Experiments have been made that sitting and thinking, writing, watching, you burn 60 calories per hour. You just feel more tired and hungry.

Experts recommend that you occasionally move your blood. Then you burn more calories.

Yes, deep thinking leads to burning of more calories. Not only the physical strain which burn calories, mental strain also contributes to burning of calories. Mental strain has an effect on nervous system, on all the parts of the body which has an effect on energy consumption.

May be or may be not, but is the Yoga do that?

A person doing cognitively challenging work for eight hours would burn about 100 more calories than a person watching TV or daydreaming for the same amount of time, he estimates. “If you were doing something really demanding that uses multiple senses—something like learning to play an instrument—that might get as high as 200 [calories],

No, thinking, deep or shallow has no relationship with calories burning.

While a brain takes up about twenty percent, or 300, of a resting body's 1300 calories a day, and while it has the potential to burn more, it's estimated that most actual thinking only changes the amount of calories that the brain burns by around twenty to fifty calories per day.

Maybe

absolutely

Certainly.

I think this, because thinking is an active need power

Absolument

yes of course

Thank you "very much" DR. Sajda Taha, Amiraslan Darvish,Bassam Samir Alromeedy, for the wonderful answers with appreciation and respect

Yes I think so , the more brain activity then more loss of energy to maintain its normal function

Though I am not a physician but I think yes ! Because thinking is a work done by brain and its needs fuel to run.

While a brain takes up about twenty percent, or 300, of a resting body's 1300 calories a day, and while it has the potential to burn more, it's estimated that most actual thinking only changes the amount of calories that the brain burns by around twenty to fifty calories per day.

Yes sleeping do burns calories

Obviously it does.

Most colleagues are of the opinion that deep thinking burns more calories. It is clear that my opinion is not the same. And I want to ask - watching an exciting film if it also burns more calories? While sleeping and standing in one place burning an average of 50-60 calories per hour. These are basic physical functions - breathing, metabolism.

yes

Yes of course

The answer is yes. It may also lead to a loss in weight.

Yes, I think so, The results of studies and researches confirm that energy consumption in the brain is not simple, that more mental effort depletes more energy available in the body.

Agree with Isam Issa Omran.

Thanks "very much" to everyone with appreciation and respect

I think not always, for example, we find a person accustomed to eating more and more while he thinking about the subject occupied, how will lose calories in this case?

You are most welcome @Dr Fatima Faiq

Yes, since deep thinking even though having less effect than physical exercise which burn calories, this has an effect on our nerves which feels more strain.

I think yes

اعتقد نعم يحرق الكثير من السعرات الحرارية إذ توجد دراسات حديثة تؤيد ذلك أن التوتر والأعصاب يعد من الأساليب الجديدة لانقاص الوزن إذ ثبت أن مشاهدة افلام الرعب وسيلة لانقاص الوزن بسبب التوتر وكذلك التفكير

I think yes burn a lot of calories as there are recent studies that support that tension and nerves is one of the new methods to lose weight as it has been shown that watching horror movies means to lose weight due to tension as well as thinking

Yes, it does.

As far as my perception goes, deep thinking will burn more calories.

I think so.

Yes I think.

Deep thinking burn less calories. Physical exercise burn more calories.

agree with other suggestions.

Deep thinking involves increased cerebral neuronal activity and also involves increase cerebral blood flow.Thus such activities burn calories. Ironically right now, i too lost some calories answering your question!!!!

Yes, it dose

Any type of activity whether mental or physical burns calories.Deep thinking is a mental exercise that burns calories.I cite my own example.When I used to check the Ph.D.thesis of my students,I used to sit continuously for hours that was causing weakness.During that time , I used to take glucose drink to increase my energy level. My weakness will go and I again start my job of editing the Ph.D.thesis. It clearly indicated that mental exercise certainly burnt the calories.

Yes . Ofcourse. Because while person thinks brain consume energy

More thinking more calories.
