According to researchers, laughter could be just what the doctor ordered when it comes to coping with life's stresses. Its been
proven that laughter:
Relaxes muscles
Lowers blood pressure
Eases mental tension
Reduces levels of hormones that trigger the
stress responses and suppress immunity
Releases endorphins, the same stress-reducers
triggered by exercise
Laughter is beneficial for improving one's
perspective on life

Laughter is like good medicine that heals the body and soul. A doctor once described laughter as “internal jogging.” Just as jogging releases endorphins and leaves you feeling good so does laughter. The average child laughs about 150
times a day, while the average adult
laughs 4 to 8 times a day. What a
difference! Adding more laughter
to our lives can make us
healthier and happier!!
