Everybody loves a good laugh. It helps us feel good and makes every moment worth remembering. But
laughter serves us more than just a good dose of happiness. It actually has long term benefits that prove to be
essential in achieving a healthy mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. Here are the top seven benefits of
laughter.




    Lowers blood pressure. Japanese researchers have found that laughter and other elating activities like
    playing music can help expand blood vessels and lower a person’s blood pressure. A lower blood
    pressure means lower risk of death from heart disease or stroke.




    Gives an internal workout. Laughter can be as beneficial as having a workout. It can have effects in
    the body that is similar to exercise such as toned diaphragm and abdominal muscles, improved
    cholesterol and blood pressure levels, decreased stress hormones, strengthened immune system and
    regulated appetite. Overall, the body’s response to repetitive laughter is similar to repetitive exercise.
Reduces stress. Laughter reduces stress by acting as a positive outlet or emotional release. It lowers
stress hormones like cortisol, epinephrine and dopamine and is replaced by health-enhancing
hormones like endorphins and neurotransmitters. It also serves as a positive distraction to stressful
situations and negative emotions such as anger and depression.




Improved immune system. Stress was proven to weaken the immune system which makes a person
more prone to sickness and diseases. But since laughter can reduce stress levels, then it is true that
laughter helps the immune system protect the body from infections and reduces the risk of contracting
colds.
Increases brain functions. A study in John Hopkins University Medical School shows that laughter
and humor increases memory and learning which led to higher test scores. Since laughter helps in
relaxing the body and reducing stress it becomes a big contributor to improved mental alertness and
creativity.




Relieves pain. Laughter serves as a natural pain killer by becoming a positive distraction thus taking
your mind off the pain. It also triggers the release of endorphins, the chemicals in the brain usually
found during exercise that makes us feel good.
Social benefits. Laughter also has its social benefits by helping us connect with other people. Just like

    smiling and kindness, laughter is contagious which helps spread positivity and brings people closer.
    Laughter can also improve social interactions in stressful environments such as the workplace which
    reduces stress and improves productivity.


Never underestimate the power of laughter. Like exercise and healthy diet, it is a natural way of making and
keeping yourself healthy both mentally, physically and spiritually.



                                   ”A day without laughter is a day wasted.”
                                              ~Charlie Chaplin



                            Are you really serious about becoming healthy mind,
                            body and spirit and change your life once and for all!
                             Bob Proctor – one of the key figures in “The Secret”- believes that the Law of
                             Attraction is incomplete, and for the first time reveals the 11 Forgotten Laws that
                             will finally uncover the Law’s true potential. Click Here!
                             A simple, 3-minute, 3-step formula that has the power to generate tremendous
                             success and happiness. By activating the Law of Attraction, The PowerPause
makes it easy        to    reduce stress and resolve money, health or relationship problems
