One of the best feelings in the world is the deep-
rooted belly laugh. It can bring people together and establish amazing connections. Everything
from a slight giggle to a side-splitting guffaw can
change the temperature of a room from chilly
unfamiliarity to a warm family-like atmosphere.
Get ready to get your giggle on!

1. Laughing lowers blood pressure
People who lower their blood pressure, even those who start at normal levels, will reduce their risk of
strokes and heart attacks. So get your self a comedy film and enjoy your
laughter medicine.

2. Reduces stress hormone levels
You benefit from reducing the level of stress
hormones your body produces because hormone-
level reduction simultaneously cuts the anxiety and
stress impacting your body. Additionally, the reduction of stress hormones in your body may result in higher immune system performance. Just
think: Laughing along as a co-worker tells a funny
joke can relieve some of the day's stress and help
you reap the health benefits of laughter.
3. Fun ab workout

One of the benefits of laughter is that it can help
you tone your abs. When you are laughing, the muscles in your stomach expand and contract,
similar to when you intentionally exercise your abs.
Meanwhile, the muscles you are not using to laugh
are getting an opportunity to relax. Add laughter to
your ab routine and make getting a toned tummy
more enjoyable.

4. Improves cardiac health

Laughter is a great cardio workout, especially for those who are incapable of doing other physical
activity due to injury or illness. It gets your heart
pumping and burns a similar amount of calories per
hour as walking at a slow to moderate pace. So,
laugh your heart into health.

5. Boosts T cells

T cells are specialized immune system cells just
waiting in your body for activation. When you
laugh, you activate T cells that immediately begin to
help you fight off sickness. Next time you feel a
cold coming on, add chuckling to your illness
prevention plan.

6. Triggers the release of endorphins

Endorphins are the body’s natural pain killers. By
laughing, you can release endorphins, which can
help ease chronic pain and make you feel good all over.

7. Produces a general sense of well-being

Laughter can increase your overall sense of well-
being. Doctors have found that people who have a positive outlook on life tend to fight diseases better than people who tend to be more negative. So
smile, laugh and live longer!
