It has been said that Laughter is the best medicine, here are some of the benefits:
Lowers blood pressure
Lowers Stress
Increases memory and learning
Improves creativity
Stimulates heart, lungs and muscles
Improves immune system
Improves mood
It has also been said that laughter works quickly, less than a half-second after exposure to something funny. That is faster than any med I have taken. You can learn to laugh. Even if the laughter is fake the body doesn’t know the difference. Fake laughter often leads to real laughter. So let’s get laughing.
I heard a joke on laughter that made me laugh: If you don’t have health care, you better have a really funny friend!
