The health benefits of laughter

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

Page 94: Mind management edinburgh uni_45mins_2013

The health benefits of laughter

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

Page 95: Mind management edinburgh uni_45mins_2013

The health benefits of laughter

• Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and temporarily relieve pain.

Page 96: Mind management edinburgh uni_45mins_2013

The health benefits of laughter

• 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.
