Laughter is Medicine: Funny Practical Jokes
By Dexter Yarbrough. Have you ever felt a great deal of stress, anxiety or pain? Have you ever experienced a feeling of being cleansed after a good laugh? Laughter provides a physical and emotional release. Research has shown that the health benefits of laughing are far-ranging. Laughter can help relieve pain, reduce depression and bring greater happiness.
Laughter takes the focus away from stress, anger, guilt and negative emotions in a beneficial way. Studies show that laughter reduces the level of stress hormones such as cortisol, dopamine and adrenaline. Laughter increases the number of antibody producing cells as well as health enhancing hormones like endorphines and neurotransmitters. In essence, this means fewer physical effects of stress and a stronger immune system.
Stress Management
Studies show that our response to stressful events can be altered by whether we view something as a threat or a challenge. Humor gives us the option of seeing situations as challenges, therefore making them less threatening and more positive.
There is no shortage of laughter opportunities on your TV or personal computer via the web. Watching truly hilarious shows and clips is an easy way to get laughter into your life whenever you need it.
The following short videos are funny, practical jokes that help get you in a better mood. So, enough reading! Let's start laughing! Enjoy! - Dexter Yarbrough
