Steemit Engagement Challenge S5-W1: Laughter is The Best Medicine
"Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Continue to learn. Play with abandon. Choose with no regret. Laugh! Do what you love. Love as if this all there is." -
Mary Anne Radmacher-Hershey
Have you ever been alone thinking and then suddenly you started laughing because you remembered something funny? How did you feel at that moment?
It is fun to share a good laugh, especially with friends and family. Laughter as minute as it may seem is a great catalyst for improving our health.
What do I think about the saying?
The saying that laughter is the best medicine is true. Laughter is a powerful medicine that helps in more ways than one. Have you ever wondered why people are willing to pay thousands and million to attend a comedy show because they seek laughter? Doctors even recommend it to some patients.
Laughter has the power to make you forget about a bad day, clear your mind, and ease your stress. It has the power to give you hope, release anger, fear, and anxiety and assure you that everything will be alright at the moment.
As a child, we laugh at the little things, and we are free from thinking about trivial things but as an adult, we've become too serious that we don't find happiness in anything. We have become too angry at the world that we neglect to appreciate the little things.
Laughter helps us healthwise, mentally, and socially.
| How Laughter Improves Our Health |
- It relaxes your whole body. A really good laugh from the stomach relieves you of physical tension and eases your stress. It helps keep you relaxed when you stop thinking of whatever is stressing you.
- Endorphins are released when you laugh. Endorphines are components that make the body feel good when released.
- Laughter protects your heart. The blood flow increases and the blood vessels improve when you laugh. This action protects the heart from any heart attack.
- Laughter makes you live longer. When you have fewer things to bother, stress, or anger you, you live longer. Your blood pressure levels.
| How Laughter Improves You Mentally |
Laughter makes you feel good and when you feel good, you wouldn't feel like pulling your hair out at the slightest thing, breaking things, or hurting yourself or someone else.
Laughter helps you open up to strangers.
Laughter makes you see the world or your environment differently.
| How Laugher Helps Us Socially |
Sometimes, what wouldn't seem funny to you would be funny when you experience it with someone else.
Laughter brings friends closer and strengthens their relationships, that is why people would gather to listen to someone crack jokes.
Laughter creates and strengthens bonds.
Laughter resolves disagreement and dissolves any tension.
What made you laugh so much that I had to hold my stomach and wipe my tears?
During one of the public holidays when everyone was around at home, we decided to have a dancing competition, my mom decided to join in which surprised us. The dancing competition started, but while everyone was dancing with the latest dance steps, my mom was dancing like a chicken, with hands flailing around. That made everyone laugh hard.
I invite @ogwo, @precious123, and @lifeoflee to take part in this contest.

You have written beautifully about laughter and what makes it the best medicine, laughter truly strengthens friendship and family bond and resolve disagreement, and also gives us a free mind to live a good and long life.
Mothers can be so funny when trying new steps of dance or new things, their attempts do seem somehow that we can not help but laugh.

One thing about laughter is that it knows no bound. It connects different people together at the same time.

I can imagine how much people will charge for laughter. Human beings just don't know what they have, and cherish it well.
Hello @yuceetoria,
I like the social benefits that comes with laughter, listed by you. They are similar to what i mentioned in my publication as well.
Your story of the dancing competition actually got me laughing as i visualized my own mum executing such a dance move 🤣🤣🤣, so so hilarious hihihi.
Your post is very well presented. Laughter is the best medicine in the world. It is impossible to live in the world without happiness. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful post with us.
Unconsciously, sometimes life puts us in a zone that makes us feel difficult. But with laughter, we suddenly feel we have a little hope and strength behind a painful event.
I also share a post about laughing, if you have time please see it and I am very happy.
Laughter heals the soul of all sadness.
