Why not laugh



Laughing is a good work out for your diaphragm, abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg and back muscles. Not only does laughter give your midsection a workout, it can benefit digestion and absorption functioning as well. It is estimated that hearty laughter can burn calories equivalent to several minutes on the rowing machine or the exercise bike (and you know how much I love the bike).

Bike and swimming are to two forms of exercise that I don’t care for. If there is nothing else to do I will do them, but they are on the bottom of my list.

Back to laughter. If you want your brain stimulated, laugh, because laughing enhances learning. If you want to release muscle tension, laugh. If you are psychologically stressed, laugh. Laughter keeps the brain alert. If you want to retain more information, laugh.

Now we are getting somewhere. Ready for more? Well, here we go.

Rather than get upset when things are not going your way, laugh. Laughing helps you, and also the people around you, feel better. If you need to release pent-up feelings of frustration and/or anger, laugh. Laughter is a socially acceptable way to it. When you laugh, you reduce tension, which can be very relaxing.

Are you starting to become a believer? I sure hope so! But, there is still more.
To minimize a situation that is causing you anxiety, visualize a humorous situation.
Laughter helps to bind us together. When we laugh together it helps us become closer to one another. Laughter is better enjoyed when it is shared with others.

If you want to be healed, laugh. Doctors are giving more patients laugh therapy to reduce stress.

When you hear laughter, go find out where it is coming from. Go there, listen, and if you have anything that can encourage more laughter, join in. There is something about laugher; it breeds on itself.

The above reason are good, but there is more and I’ll tell you them at a later time, but tell them keep laughing.

Happiness with health and wealth to you
