Day 253 (Two-Hundred & Fifty-Three) of 365 days
It is true laughter is strong medicine. It draws people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional changes in the body. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humour lightens your burdens, inspires hope, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert. It also helps you release anger and forgive sooner.
As children, we used to laugh hundreds of times a day, but as adults, life tends to be more serious and laughter more infrequent. But by seeking out more opportunities for humour and laughter, you can improve your emotional health, strengthen your relationships, find greater happiness—and even add years to your life.
A good hearty laugh every day relieves a person from stress and physical tension. Thus, even the muscles are relaxed after good laughter of 45 minutes. Laughter increases the immune cells in your body and decreases the stress hormones. Also, it fights the infection-fighting antibodies. So, it helps in improving a person’s resistance to power against the diseases. Laughter increases the blood in your body and also the functioning of blood vessels. Thus, it can help in protecting a person against a heart attack.
Laughter can be infectious. Have you suddenly started laughing when you heard someone else laughing crazily although you had no idea what they were laughing about? Because laughter is an involuntary action most often occurring in groups our brains likely have a laugh detector that triggers some sort of laugh generator.
Thus to always have a smile and laughter on your face is the best way to live a healthy life. Don’t take your life so seriously that you forget to laugh. Celebrate every single occasion and achievement in life. Be optimistic and never lose hope in life. Never have a single day without laughter as life would be so dull. Life gives us many reasons to smile and laugh every day. Let us not miss any reason. Let us share the natural medicine of laughter with everyone around us.
