Laughter is really healthy
Almost everyone recovers from a good fit of laughter. At least if you don’t get the giggles at an inappropriate time. Laughter is not only good at the moment, but also your health benefits. Doctor’s Prescription: Laugh More!
When you smile, the brain produces endorphins. This signal substance has a relaxing and analgesic effect. In addition, extra white blood cells are produced. You also put a lot of muscles in motion. At least fifteen in your face alone. And also the abs and diaphragm tighten when you smile.
Brain
So a lot happens in the body when you smile. With mostly positive consequences. Your brain knows when you are smiling. And they automatically associate such a smile with a positive mood. Endorphins are also known to increase happiness. In addition, laughter seems to reduce stress, depression, anxiety and insomnia.
But your body also loves to laugh. For example, it is said that optimistic people are healthier and cheerful people live longer. Positive effects on blood pressure and blood vessels are also known and it is said to protect the respiratory tract against infections. The resistance also benefits from laughing. Smiling people seem to have a better functioning immune system.
Beautiful
And that’s not all. Laughter makes you more attractive: Even the most beautiful people are less beautiful with a grumpy facial expression. Don’t forget that people like to imitate. Smile at people with a sullen facial expression. Who knows, your smile may be contagious! A woman’s smile turns out to be more contagious than a man’s.
Humor can also help you look at yourself with a little distance. Laughter can make ‘big’ problems suddenly seem a lot smaller and difficulties can be overcome. Laughter can also make you more creative and alert. Some say that laughter is even good for memory and learning. Most of the effects of laughter are temporary, by the way. So you have to laugh a lot for an optimal result.
Sincerely
Not all scientific studies are positive about laughter. The scientists do not agree in particular about the effect of a fake smile. There are even indications that a constant glued-on smile increases the risk of depression.
There doesn’t seem to be much wrong with a genuine laugh. So do that. We seem to laugh a lot less than we used to: people in the 1950s laughed about twice as much as we do now. In addition, adults laugh much less often than children. As if we’ve forgotten.
Sin. Because even if the health effects of laughter are less than expected, it still makes you a beautiful person. And a lot of laughter also gives a nice feeling.
