Had a Healthy Dose of Laughter today?

Why is Laughter good for your health?

• 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.

Laughter is truly the best medicine we have.  Read this great article on Laughter!

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Greetings!

All of us experience stress...some more than others. Laughter is one way to reduce stress. If we laughed more often we'd have less health issues. As I have pointed out in earlier posts, stress causes our body to be acidic and disease loves an acidic body. Our body wants to be more alkaline...disease can't live in an alkaline state. No matter how great your diet is, if you get stressed, you become acidic.

Here is a great article on how to keep laughter in your life.
