Laughter is the best Medicine

3/3/22

The art of Laughter is a powerful medicine. It heals, relieves stress and enhances your immune system. You ought to laugh every day. It will add many years to your life.

Sadly though, this is not a topic that gets discussed enough.

Laughter can cure depression, stress, burn calories and even make you live longer. It can cheer you up when you are sad, even give you a better physical shape and help you live longer.

The Lancet publishes a study that laughter is the best medicine. They surveyed three million people and they found out that laughter is as good as Zoloft and Lexapro for treating depression.

Furthermore, it's better than Zoloft for treating anxiety and panic disorders. They offer a bunch of statistics about how laughter is good for you, but I'm going to throw in my anecdotal evidence.

I have been using laughter as my therapy for years. It has served me well.

You need a cure to all forms of mental ailment?

Then, Laughter is the best medicine for you.

While it may seem hard to believe, laughter has been proven to lower stress and anxiety levels, increase our immunity and make us more resistant to disease.

When we’re laughing our whole body is engaged. Our muscles, including those in the stomach, core, and heart are all doing their part in the process. Laughing also triggers the release of endorphins – the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. This essentially creates a sensation of well-being and makes us feel better – physically and mentally.

Laughter is the best medicine. It is no surprise that the one who laughs the most has the longest life expectancy.

Despite our busy lives, watching a funny movie or spending time with family and friends helps us reduce stress, relax, and have more positive thoughts — which in turn makes us healthier.

Dr. Lee Berk, a researcher at Loma Linda University, conducted many studies to prove that laughter produces a number of health benefits, including a stronger immune system and more antibodies to fight off infections. Berk also found that laughing lowers levels of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline by up to 20%.

So whether you’re suffering from heart disease or hypertension, laughter can be a critical part of your treatment plan. It’s the best medicine for improving your physical health and well-being, as well as your mental health.

When a cure isn't enough. When you've lost your mind, your savior is laughter. Laughter is the best medicine. The only medicine that works for every disease.

Laughter is a cure for everything that ails you, from physical pain to mental stress. What happens when we laugh? Our stress hormones soar away and our endorphins are released. Our blood pressure drops and our breathing deepens. Laughter gives us a sense of relief, of freedom from the pressures of life.

The only thing you need to feel better: Laughter.

Laughter is the best medicine, but what about side effects? There are none to this drug - it's free and always available. You don't have to pay for it - all it takes is one good memory or piece of silliness and you can get up from your bed and move on with your day. You no longer need to be anxious or stressed out; you are cured.

It feels good to laugh, but many of us don’t know how to do it properly or frequently enough.

Well, I’ve come up with a solution for you!

The prescription? It’s simple – anywhere from five to 10 minutes of laughter every day.
