Taken from a Special Feature Page on my natural health website concerning ALL the
Benefits of Laughter - I call this
phenomena revealed by Heart Specialists, Neuroscientists, Psychologists and
Various Physicians (collectively) the CHEMISTRY OF LAUGHTER. I've gleaned the
following Information from various sources of research. LAUGHTER IS GOOD for
your MORALE and also your IMMUNE SYSTEM.........It Releases Endorphins in your
body that are "Feel Good Chemicals" It can be a sure weapon
against stress and if practiced regularly - as part of your Lifestyle - it can
help to prevent and sometimes relieve Stress Related Illnesses. Laughter Clears
your Emotions and helps to Sharpen your Mental Faculties. Laughter
is fun and it’s good for you. It makes others feel good. It provides physical,
emotional, and psychological benefits. Scientific Research
reveals that LAUGHTER strengthens our cardiovascular functions; reduces stress
hormones; improves circulation_ benefiting those with high blood pressure; has
a boosting effect on the function of immune cells; releases endorphins_ a feel
good chemical that sometimes helps to lower pain levels; it oxygenates our body
via the respiratory system_ this is very good for us; it also enhances our
bio-chemistry! Laughter benefits our
brain in quite unique ways. Also improves alertness, creativity and
memory! Not to mention, it gives your muscle flexes a good work out. Some
people who develop a lifestyle of laughter have found an improvement in
metabolism. Who would have
thought of it, that laughter could benefit us in so many ways....hey? A good laugh, hearty
laugh, hilarious laugh, outrageous laughter, trickles of laughter, smiles
and laughter, bubbly laughter! Employ them ALL....why not? It's good to engage
in things that make us laugh....to look at the funny side of life if we can.....have
a laugh at ourselves rather than to take things too seriously. there are even
laughter clinics available in some countries. Laughter relaxes
our whole body...and effects from it can last up to 45 minutes! Laughter is a
natural stress buster better than medications and good for your brain! Adopt it
as part of an Anti-Stress Lifestyle in addition to some good healthy
exercise.....see it makes a difference! LAUGHTER ALSO MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF AND STRENGTHENS YOUR HEART_ EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY.... IT ALWAYS BRINGS
ME SUNSHINE WHEN VISITORS ENJOY MY INSPIRATIONAL PAGES! As laughter, humor,
and play become an integrated part of your life, your creativity will flourish
and new discoveries for playing with friends, coworkers, acquaintances, and
loved ones will occur to you daily. Humor takes you to a higher place where you
can view the world from a more relaxed, positive, creative, joyful, and
balanced perspective.Surround yourself with reminders to lighten up. Keep
a toy on your desk or in your car. Put up a funny poster in your office. Choose
a computer screensaver that makes you laugh. Frame photos of you and your
family or friends having fun. Laughter is a natural part of my lifestyle
in recent years and I can vouch for it's merits! Some Anti-stress toys,
fun ornaments, pictures and posters would be great for the above mentioned.
My mother actually has an irresistible painting of a clown on her
bedroom wall that makes her laugh and smile.............so it does work! Why not invest today? Someone said
"Who makes you laugh? Who do you make laugh? It’s like sharing
vitamins" Laughter operates on
at least three different levels. They are the biophysical, the biochemical, and
the bio-energetic levels. When we laugh,
beneficial changes occur in our brain and our body. Given the body-mind
connection, the very act of laughter has, it can bring about changes in body chemistry to
our advantage. A daily practice of
laughter can improve one's perspective on life, self-esteem and coping skills. Even the skin can
benefit from regular laughter because the capillaries become filled with blood
which then feeds the skin with an increased supply of oxygen and nutrients. Laughter is a natural
relaxant, releasing unhealthy attitudes, muscle stress and tension. It also releases
endorphins that are natural mood lifters. Laughter benefits our
brain in quite unique ways. Also improves alertness, creativity and memory__ not
to mention, it gives your muscle flexes a good work out. Some people who
develop a lifestyle of laughter have found an improvement in metabolism. "Laughter is a
simple exercise that brings you relaxation" JV "Laughter displaces
negative energy with positive energy" JV "Laughter brings
Sunshine time after time and often brings your thoughts into line" JV "Laughter is
Anti-Aging, seek ways of Engaging....it's better than a frown!" JV ______________________ Laughter can be a
great way of exercising many of the muscles of the body. Research shows it's possible
for almost all our muscles to be activated during laughter. Laughing instantly
reduces the levels of stress hormones such as cortisol that puts on weight and
adrenaline that should not be over-spent (as it can lead to fatigue) Having a good laugh
prior to sleep can lessen stress and anxiety and facilitate deep restful sleep. Laughter also
provides a mild aerobic workout that energizes you during the day and helps you
to sleep better at night. You can top these aerobic benefits up with Deep
Breathing (abdominal). Both Laughter and
Deep Breathing also benefit our metabolism because of the extra oxygen. Laughter can provide
a pleasant distraction from things that cause stress, anxiety and anger. Laughter relaxes our
whole body...and effects from it can last up to 45 minutes! Even if you don’t
feel happy at the moment, just the physical act of laughing increases serotonin
and dopamine levels, that are happy-chemicals in our brain. It also benefits your
circulation. Laughter is a natural
stress buster, better than medications and good for your brain! Adopt it as
part of an Anti-Stress Lifestyle in addition to some good healthy
exercise..... see it makes a difference! Negativity cannot reign in
a home filled with laughter. Let your heart and your home be filled with it now, not just in
the here-after.
LAUGHTER ALSO
MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF AND STRENGTHENS YOUR HEART_ EMOTIONALLY AND
PHYSICALLY.... Sunny Disposition Focus on things glad instead of sad. This will help you immensely don't think so intensely! JV© You will also find a really cool MP3 of a Kookaburra laughing! |
