Does adrenaline burn calories?!


Question: Does adrenaline burn calories!?
I am on a diet and spent most of the day yesterday at six flags on rides that really got my adrenaline flowing!.!.!. do you think that helped burn more calories!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes

Adrenaline raises your heart beat, and your blood pressure!.

Your heart beat only burns an extra 5 calories which is hardly anything at all!.

However, your increased blood pressure (exerted on the walls of your veins/arteries) and increased blood flow (as a result of more pumps and stronger pumps) causes increased friction between the blood as its pushing against the vein or artery (this friction is a form of energy and is released as heat)!.

This friction releases heat, and is one of the reasons if you fall in a freezing lake, your body releases adrenaline to cause the increased heart-rate, increased blood pressure, which ultimately means calories from your food are converted into heat which leaves your body!.

Yes, you probably burned an extra 50 calories!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!.
Adrenaline by itself doesn't cause a significant increase in caloric use!. If, however, the adrenalin resulted in 'natural' behaviour - running away or fighting, then those subsequent actions would have burnt off quite a lot!. You, however, were sitting still!.!.!.
There may have been a very slight increase in metabolic rate that would have burnt a few extra calories but nothing much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

adrenaline only affects your blood rate, and how pumped you are, but overall no, but exercise does pump up adrenalineWww@Answer-Health@Com
