Laughter Helps People Lead Healthier Lives

Those who laugh are healthier because laughing helps them loosen up. A recent research reveals the benefits of laughing.

Laughing also helps to break down stress hormones and build up hormones associated with happiness. And laughing helps to increase the immune defences in the bloodstream, including those that help the body protect itself from cancer and heart disease. The antibody-containing immunoglobulin in the saliva, which inhibits germ attacks on respiratory organs, also rises.

It pointed out that, because it’s often difficult to have a good laugh, people all over the world are joining laugh clubs. Such clubs meet regularly, and do “laugh yoga.” This sends resounding laughter into the streets, not because the laughter exercises are so funny, but because it’s actually a way to practice laughing.

Have you laughed today? If not, hope the two videos below can help you have a good laugh.
