Why You Should Keep On Laughing!!

Who doesn’t love laughing??? When you’re down and having a bad day what’s better than having someone or something make you laugh? Laughing is known for being the best remedy, and I agree completely! When I was 13, I had to get a surgery done and after that I was in pain and just not in a good mood at all for weeks but once my cousin came over to visit me all that changed real fast. My cousin always made me laugh so it helped tremendously with my recovery.  

Whether you decide to hang-out with people who make you laugh so hard you end up in tears or you decide to watch some funny movies, laughing is great for your health. Especially if you’re extremely stressed out and overwhelmed, laughing can be a great remedy because it can relieve your stress levels.  In addition to this, by laughing you are also able to lower your blood pressure.  

There are quite a lot of ways to boost your immune system including exercising but if you’re like me and don’t enjoy working out that much then look no further because laughing can be the answer you’ve been looking for. When you laugh your body increases the amount of infection fighting antibodies, immune cells and you're regulating cell growth! Who wouldn’t want to boost their immune system this way, it’s so easy! 

Want to burn some calories? Having a good laugh will help with that, you actually lose about 40 calories when you laugh and unfortunately there was a study done that proved that adults don’t laugh nearly as much as children do! When you laugh for quite some time or really hard you will find that your stomach ends up hurting and thats' because you're working out your abdominal muscles! 

You're also promoting a healthier brain function because when you laugh you increase the amount of oxygen that flows to your brain. Remember that your're also releasing the feel good chemical known as endorphins when you laugh!
