LAUGHTER

LAUGHTER

Find time to laugh, It's the music of the soul,
Find  time to think, It's the source of power,
Find  time to play ,It's the source of perpetual youth,
Find time to read, It's the foundation of wisdom,

If your doctor said, "Take two jokes and call me in the morning,"  would you laugh? Let's hope so. Laughter is good for you and  your child's mental and physical well-being. Laughter is a happy  sound - it is something we can all share and understand,  whatever language we speak or place we come from.  Laughter releases a chemical called serotonin (say sera-tow-nin)  into our brains.This is often called the 'feel good' hormone  because that is the effect it has on our feelings. Laughter is  a way we can be a part of a group and it can make us   feel more comfortable with others.

Laughter is strong medicine for mind and body. “Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make certain that your daily mood and emotional state support good health.”

Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. 

Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. 

Humour lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you  focused and alert.

With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health.

* Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.

* Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.

*  Laughter triggers the release of body’s natural feel-good chemicals. It promotes  an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.

* Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

 When we laugh, as many as 15 small muscles squeeze our faces into a smile. Increased blood flow there may turn us a bit pinker and give us a happy glow. That is why Sri sri Ravi Shankar and his art of living promotes laughing .    

Ha Ha Ha…He He He…..Ho Ho Ho…


Keep on laughing, but not on my post.
