Benefits of laughter

            We all need to take a moment to realise how laughter is important in our daily lives. It has short and lobg term benefits for our health. We need it, here are the benefits of laughter:
·         Lower blood pressure
·         Increase vascular blood flow and oxygenation of the blood
·         Give a workout to the diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg, and back muscles
·         Reduce certain stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline
·         Increase the response of tumor- and disease-killing cells such as Gamma-interferon and T-cells
·         Defend against respiratory infections–even reducing the frequency of colds–by immunoglobulon in saliva.
·         Increase memory and learning; in a study at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, humor during instruction led to increased test scores
·         Improve alertness, creativity, and memory
After this; you can see that it is indeed an important thing to do in our lives. Please take a moment in your busy lives to laugh. Make jokes; tell a funny story; watch a funny movie. Laugh at least once everyday.
