😄7 BENEFITS LAUGHTER MAKES YOU HEALTHY AND BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT😄

It is natural for everyone to have ups and downs whether with health issues or with emotions. While laughter brings bright feelings into our hearts, it also triggers healthy physical changes in our body systems. Here are some of the examples how laughter makes us healthy and happy inside and out!

In the study, Japanese researchers found that people who took part in bimonthly group sessions built around music or laughter lowered their systolic blood pressure (the top number in the reading) by an average of five to six points after three months. By contrast, the average blood-pressure reading in a control group that received neither therapy didn't budge.

2. BOOSTS YOUR IMMUNITY

T-cells are specialized immune system cells just waiting in your body for activation. When you laugh, you activate T-cells that immediately begin to help you fight off sickness.

3. REDUCES STRESS HORMONE LEVELS

Laughter reduces the level of stress hormones like cortisol, epinephrine, (adrenaline), dopamine, and growth hormone. It also increases the level of health-enhancing hormones, like endorphins.

4. TRIGGERS THE RELEASE OF ENDORPHINS

Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers. By laughing, you can release endorphins, which can help ease chronic pain and make you feel good all over.

 

5. PRODUCES A GENERAL SENSE OF WELL-BEING

Laughter can increase your overall sense of well-being. Doctors have found that people who have a positive outlook on life tend to fight diseases better than people who tend to be more negative.

6. INTERNAL WORKOUT

A good belly laugh exercises the diaphragm, contracts the abs, and even works out the shoulders, leaving muscles more relaxed afterward. It even provides a good workout for the heart.


 

Laughter connects us with others. Just as with smiling and kindness, most people find that laughter is contagious. If you bring more laughter into your life, you can most likely help others around you to laugh more and realize these benefits as well.

By elevating the mood of those around you, you can reduce their stress levels and perhaps improve the quality of social interaction you experience with them, reducing your stress level even more!

Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Let's start year 2022 with a big laugh!

We wish everyone a happy and blessed year ahead.
