The Health Benefits of Laughter

When we laugh we...
* lower our blood pressure.
* promote relaxation and reduce stress.
* increase the oxygen level in our blood giving us more energy.
* increase the endorphin activity in our body resulting in a sense of well being.
* are able to keep things in perspective

* banish boredom

* are more socially attractive. People enjoy being with those who laugh easily and often.
* increase our enjoyment of life.

Laughter has been called social glue because it bonds us to the people we laugh with.

The message is clear: To live better....Laugh more.

If it feels good to laugh then laugh to feel good.
