Belly Laughs: How Laughing Is Good For Your Health

When was the last time you had a deep belly laugh? Who were you with? What did you laugh about?

There are a lot of germs being passed around during the winter time, mostly due to suppressed immune systems. The emotions have a lot to do with physical health. Did you know that laughter decreases stress hormones, boosts immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies?

Laughter triggers the release of the body’s natural joy chemicals (endorphins) which promotes overall physical harmony and emotional well-being.

If you’re feeling down, stressed to the max, or overwhelmed with your life plans, know that a good bought of laughter can not only boost your immune health, but break you out of a self-destructive state of mind.

Happiness Tip:

Watch your favorite comedy movie. Even a sixty second clip can help energy’s system. Allow yourself to laugh. Lower your emotional defenses and heighten your immune’s defenses. And, remember when you’re in harmony with your environment, there is nothing to protect yourself from.
