Outside of it being a great abdominal exercise, laughter helps reduce stress. Stress does some nasty things to our body! It increases blood pressure, makes our bodies tighten up, induces ulcers, impairs our sleep, increases cortisol, and can make us gain weight! Stress can cause our cells to oxidize and encourage all types of diseases to enter into our lives! It makes a person crabby and unbearable to be around. Incorporating laughter reduces stress and all of its unwelcome byproducts!
When you find things to laugh about, you become a joyful person to associate with. People like to be around fun, joyful people with a sense of humor. That has the pay if forward or the domino effect to others. You bring joy and laughter into their lives and they do the same for others.
