Laughter is the Best Medicine

Laughter is the Best Medicine


Many scientific research studies have shown that laughter is one of the most powerful ways to ward off disease and illness.  Most of us probably don’t think about how often we laugh, but rest assured, our body is keeping count.  Children seem to understand that laughter is the best medicine , as they laugh, on average, up to 400 times a day.  Adults average only 17 times per day.  It is any wonder children seem to enjoy life more than their parents?

The benefits of laughter are far reaching.  Laughter brings stress-reduction to your life and relaxes those around you; and makes you more approachable and even more loveable; and alleviates pain in the body; and provides you with a sense of well-being by releasing endorphins and serotonin, which have been proven to help reduce pain and can even enhance treatments of many illnesses and diseases; reduces the negative stress hormones, such as cortisol and epinephrine; and allows us to connect with other people more readily.

Your body treats laughter just like exercise because laughter makes the blood vessels work more effectively, increases blood flow to the heart, and helps to increase lung capacity.  A good belly laugh can boost your immune system’s ability to ward off disease for up to three days.  Imagine the benefit of laughing multiple times daily!

Laughter is a great distraction from the stresses and rigors of life.  Anytime you can change your focus from the negative emotions of your day, even for just a few moments, the better off you are.  Laughter also enhances your ability to have a good night’s sleep.  

The bottom line is that laughing is one of the best natural health remedies.  So, if your stress levels are mounting, if you are feeling unhealthy, if you are feeling run-down and depressed, or just want some relief, then LAUGH!  The more you laugh, the better you feel, and the better those around you will feel too!
