Laughter Therapy–Giggle Up Your Good Health

We all love a good laugh. It makes us feel joyful, can be very invigorating and a is great stress reliever. Often we say if we didn’t laugh we’d cry, and laughter is a very real release for pent-up emotions. Here are few reasons why laughing helps to heal.

Increases heart rate and circulation in a safe manner

Eases pain and takes mind off pain.

Sense of humor denotes a more positive attitude

Releases the stress of problems

Increases certain antibodies

Promotes healthy sleep patterns

Core muscles are used during laughter

Feel-good hormones are produced

Sheds a positive light on seemingly negative situations

Stress can cause biochemical reactions which produce toxic effects on our bodies. This can make our immune system less efficient, can leave us feeling depressed and with a feeling of hopelessness. Laughter is the one thing that has the opposite effect on our bodies that stress does. It makes us feel like our lot isn’t so bad, it gives us something in common with other people and it puts our life into perspective.

A sense of humor often wins out over every other attribute when choosing a life partner and a cheerful workplace is much more productive than a negative one. Laugh your way to better health. Hire your favorite comedies or go visit that person we all know who never seems to stop smiling. Find ways to become a more positive person and the benefits will be immediate. Even forcing ourselves to laugh produces benefits and makes us feel better.
