Too scared to watch horror movies? Here are five to ease you into the genre

By Velvet Winter, ABC Entertainment Fran Kranz, Chris Hemsworth, and Anna Hutchison, starring in The Cabin in the Woods (2011). Photo: Lionsgate Inc It's October, which means it's spooky season. But for some, October means avoiding film trailers and turning down movie night invites for fear of something too monstrous on screen. I see you, and I understand. Although the genre once petrified me, I can now watch films like Longlegs and Alien: Romulus in cinemas and I only cover my eyes a little bit (during the gory parts). So if you've always wanted to dive into horror without getting the wits scared out of you, let me introduce you to the films that helped me ease into the genre. These movies might give you a jolt, but they won't keep you up at night. There are slight SPOILERS for all ...

High-intensity workouts more beneficial for weight loss in women, finds study

Exercising to lose weight? High-intensity physical workouts may be more beneficial, especially for women, according to a study. The study, published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society, showed that more than moderate exercise, and engaging in vigorous physical activity like jumping rope, swimming, and cycling can suppress hunger levels in healthy adults. The small study noted that females may be more susceptible to this response. Researchers from the University of Virginia in the US showed that the effect is due to ghrelin -- a hormone that stimulates appetite. They noted that hunger levels are significantly reduced after high-intensity exercise, as compared to moderate-intensity exercise or control (no exercise). Lead author Kara Anderson, from the varsity, noted that people felt ...
