We all love to laugh. A good joke, a funny movie, time with friends or a silly situation can trigger the giggles, and that can lead to a full-out belly laugh.
There are numerous benefits – from releasing stress to strengthening our immune systems, improving the function of the heart and even temporarily relieving pain. Laughing helps us to relax, recharge and shift perspective. It brings us together and brightens our day. And it feels good!
To receive full benefit of laughter, do it on a daily basis. Start with a smile, then a quiet giggle and slowly move into a full out laugh. Do this near someone else and it will become contagious!
View this short video and see if you can keep a straight face. LOL!
