Last night I went to the WH to have a few drinks and see friends and colleagues I had not seen in awhile... it was great to relax, laugh, get hugs and watch everyone smile and have a good time. Rich, Amy and I left the WH and traveled on to a friend's house (They left the WH earlier and invited us over). I told Rich how good it felt to have friends, to exchange stories, no judging just laughing, smiling and having a good time. It makes sense that laughing is good for the soul, how could it not be... when we smile, it just feels good! Here is what a couple researchers say. It was no surprise to me that laughing does a body good!
According to Dr. Lee Berk and fellow researcher Dr. Stanley Tan of Loma Linda University in California who have been studying the effects of laughter on the immune system. To date their published studies have shown that laughing lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, increases muscle flexion, and boosts immune function by raising levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gamma-interferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies. Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and produces a general sense of well-being.
So keep laughing! It does a body good!
Get a boost of happiness. You will get a boost of happiness – try forcing yourself to smile for thirty seconds right now. The great feelings that make you smile works in reverse too. By making yourself smile, no matter how you feel, your body will start to release all those wonderful chemicals that makes you feel happy. Try it right now and feel the difference. Have a great day!
