Laughter, the total body, physiological response to humor! It is a huge tension and pain reducer as it contracts and relaxes facial, chest, abdominal and skeletal muscles which in turn eases muscle tension.
Nothing works faster or more effectively to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good “laugh”. Its effect on the brain increases those “feel good” hormones which in turn keeps us on track to a healthy lifestyle and raises our positivity levels. Research has also revealed that laughing for 10-15 minutes can actually burn 10-40 calories!
Laughter is the best medicine! It produces protective hormones, regulates blood pressure, reduces the effects of stress, helps to reduce pain and boosts the immune system. As well, studies have shown that people with a sense of humor have a 30% better chance of survival when disease strikes. The best news, it can actually add 8 years to your life!
Laughter also has an effect similar to anti-depressants. It activates the release of the neurotransmitter serotonin, the same brain chemical affected by the most common types of anti-depressants.
We laugh to share meaning and understanding, to make ourselves feel better, to reaffirm relationships and to make new ones. It also releases such emotions as relief, joy and happiness and can also benefit you physically as it improves your lungs and respiratory system. It makes your exhalations more effective. When you laugh, your lungs rid of stale air and allows more oxygen to enter expanding your lungs.
Thus, with all this said……this page is dedicated to lifting your spirits and to positively contributing to your health and well-being! So go ahead and laugh as much as possible! It can benefit you in so many ways!
