Laugh Aloud To Live Healthy Life
Medical professionals and humor specialists throughout the world are utilizing the healing benefits of laughter in many different arenas. Laughter has been proven to provide significant health and fitness benefits.
It improves our immune responses, lowers our serum cortisol (the hormone produced by stress), enhances respiration, stimulates blood flow and raises our pain threshold. Scientists also suspect it plays a role in increasing our endorphins and overall sense of wellbeing.
In addition, a good belly laugh strengthens the diaphragm and abdominal muscles while burning calories. Although we don't know exactly how many calories a hearty laugh consumes, it is estimated that 100 good laughs equals 10 minutes on a rowing machine.
