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.
