They were informed about the number of calories burned and other health benefits of their work. The control group was not given this information. - **Duration**: The study lasted for four weeks. - **Findings:** the informed group, who perceived their work as exercise, showed significant improvements in various health markers compared to the control group. This included reductions in weight, blood pressure, body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, and BMI. - These improvements occurred despite no actual changes in the participants' physical activity levels. ## Related - [[hypochondria]] - [[illness]] - [[health stuff I take]] - [[I am healthy]] - [[remind yourself]] - [[cues]]
