Who doesn’t love a good laugh? Like the kind of belly laugh
that makes you cry?!
There are actually a lot of health benefits a good laugh can
bring.
Not only does it brighten
the mood, but it seems like it makes every day mundane tasks easier,
and tough situations not nearly as bad. So what are the reasons for that?
Laughter
reduces stress and helps to decrease mental and physical tension. You probably notice this after a
good laugh. You feel much more at ease and can even be more productive. It
helps to decrease cortisol in your
body making you less stressed and more relaxed. The best part is it can last up
to 45 minutes!!
Another benefit that you may not be aware of is the immune boosting power of
laughter! It increases cells and
infection fighting antibodies in your system to help improve resistance to
disease! How awesome right?
Laughing can also help protect
you against cardiovascular disease by increasing blood flow and
decreasing blood pressure!
The last benefit of laughter I’ll share with you is one of
my favorites! Laughing releases
endorphins that can help decrease pain. Figure out what
makes you laugh and then use it to make someone else laugh! Not only are you going to brighten their day,
you are actually improving their health!
