Feeling Good ~ Laughing is Good for You
The Health Benefits of Laughter
The benefits of laughing include:
-
- Relaxation and reduction in muscle tension
- Lowered production of stress hormones
- Improved immune system function
- Reduction in blood pressure
- Clearing the lungs by dislodging mucous plugs
- Increasing the production of salivary immunoglobulin A, which defends
- against infectious organisms that enter through the respiratory tract.
- Aerobic effects that increased the body’s ability to utilize oxygen (Cousins called laughing “internal jogging” and it has been estimated that laughing 100 times is equal to 10 minutes on a rowing machine or
- 15 minutes on an exercise bike.)
- A rapid ability to disregard aches and pains or to perceive them as less
- severe (Children watching funny videos while undergoing painful procedures required less pain medication during as well as after the procedure. Patients who were told hilarious one-liners following surgery also had reduced requirements for pain drugs compared to controls.)
