Laugh

There is a saying that Humans are the only species who can laugh. It is like a gift for humans. When ever you laugh, you feel better. Even though it seems like laughing is part of heart and soul, it actually improves your health by so many means. Following are some of them.

  • Laughing reduces stress by scaling down the hormones like cortisol, epinephrine (adrenaline), dopamine and growth hormone.
  • Also, laughing increases the level of health-enhancing hormones like endorphins, and neurotransmitters. Thus increases immune system.
  • Laughing boosts the number of antibody-producing cells and as a result, effectiveness of T cells increases.
  • Laughing is very good work out for belly and also shoulders. Laugh exercises the diaphragm, contracts the abs, resulting muscles more relaxed afterward.
  • Laughter promotes the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

  • Think of any funny thing that happened to you.
  • In leasure time, watch comedy movies or comedy shows.
  • Share your funny stories with friends and relatives.
Anybody loves someone who can make them laugh. The more you laugh and make others laugh, the more friends you will have.

One of my friends said that purpose of life is to be happy. What ever you do, think if you will be happy with that task and you will know what to do. I am sure, you will be happy when you laugh and you can laugh when you are happy. So Keep smiling and be happy.
