Every time you laugh, the heart pumps faster, improving circulation. Also, the brain cells are nourished with more oxygen, which means, we’ll be able to think faster and better.
Laughter is a natural–stress buster. It triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-killer and suppresses the release of epinephrine, the stress hormone. So, the next time you want to help someone release their tension, you know what to do – make them LAUGH!
Laughter stretches muscles and burns calories. An interesting revelation from a study on laughter has shown that we gain as much from 100-200 laughs as we do from 10 minutes of jogging or rowing!
It boosts self-confidence and increases productivity at workplace. Members of laughter clubs (there are over 400 such clubs in India with over 25,000 members) have only re-iterated this by saying that it has improved their interactions with colleagues and their ability to focus.
Laughter is contagious. It emotionally connects people and radiates a feel-good energy.
Here are some more positive benefits of laughter on your health.
-
It helps in lowering blood pressure
-
Increases the number of antibody-producing cells and enhances the effectiveness of infection-fighting T-cells (white blood cell responsible for the body's immunity)
-
Encourages healing
-
Produces a general sense of well-being
So remember to laugh at least once a day. Because, he who laughs, lasts longer!
