BRINGING MORE HUMOR AND LAUGHTER INTO OUR LIVES
In This Article:
Health benefits of humor and laughter
“Laughter activates the chemistry of the will to live and increases our capacity to fight disease. Laughing relaxes the body and reduces problems associated with high blood pressure, strokes, arthritis, and ulcers. Some research suggests that laughter may also reduce the risk of heart disease. Historically, research has shown that distressing emotions (depression, anger, anxiety, and stress) are all related to heart disease. A study done at the University of Maryland Medical Center suggests that a good sense of humor and the ability to laugh at stressful situations helps mitigate the damaging physical effects of distressing emotions.
Medicine From Henny Youngman:
“Doctor I have a ringing in my ears.” “Don’t answer!”
The Doctor says “You’ll live to be 60!” “I AM 60!” “See, what did I tell you?”
From Steven Wright:
“If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving definitely isn’t for you.”
“Smoking cures weight problems, eventually”.
“If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.”
A good hearty laugh can help:
- reduce stress
- lower blood pressure
- elevate mood
- boost immune system
- improve brain functioning
- protect the heart
- connect you to others
