Laughter is good medicine, it has been scientifically proven to:
– Increase release of serotonin acting as a natural anti-depressant (there is more serotonin in our belly than in our brain) – Boost immune system
– Improve cardio-vascular health
– It improves diaphragmatic breathing promoting stress management and anxiety reduction (calms to stress hormone response)
– Can relieve pain – Burn Calories
– Can reduce high blood pressure
– A sign of connection, good will and genuine sociability – It just feels damm good to release and be happy and light…..even if you have squinchy face and intermittent snorts.
Go ahead, laugh a little!
