Hello Dear One!
Do you know the power of laughter? Here’s a great article of the 7 Benefits of laughter … http://bit.ly/Q7CmR5
Basically, laughter is good for your health – physical, emotional and psychological!
Here’s what Melinda Smith, M.A., and Jeanne Segal, Ph.D. at helpguide.org had to say about laughter:
Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
- Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.
- Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
- Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.
It also helps tighten those abs! Laugh your way to a tight tummy! 🙂
Take a break, be present and laugh out loud! Best therapy.
Here are some of my favorite pictures/quotes of laughter:
Wishing you an ABUNDANCE of Joy & Laughter,
