Laughter is still the best medicine, and the only one perhaps that has no side effects. When a person loughs you get to see the other side of him/her. Just hearing people laughing at about anything can certainly bring us to burst of laughter too. Still many believe and would agree that to certain extent laughter is as good a therapy in relieving stress as those recommended by the experts. However some still believe that when we laugh, the process can make our stomach and our lungs expand, which also improves our blood circulation, boost the immune system, strengthen the heart, lowers the blood pressure, and give the nervous system a good stimulant.
Laughing can release a chemical in our body known as endorphin, which is a prove natural high stimulant. In like manner it decreases the cortisol level in the body, which is a chemical that tell us the level of stress a person is going through. The public relations point of view a people who likes to laugh they are easy approachable because there always a smile to a person who laughs. No one can ever question the benefits of laughter to a person. It has been proven that laughter can surely help us feel better when we are sad and down, Truly laughter is still the best medicine.   when laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness Laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body. Humour and laughter strengthen your immune system, boost your energy, diminish pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress.

  1. I love to laugh and I must say that people who don't laugh, have not yet experienced life in a way that anybody should. Even when we are stressed, by tuning to television and watch our favourite programme such as comedy, our stress gets relieved. Media plays an importand role to fill our leisure time often makes us laugh. Laughter is a sign of showing acceptance and positive interaction with others. Laughter is contagious, and the laughter of one person can itself provoke laughter from others. Its good to laugh with others but not laugh at others. Well said ma'am

  4. I used to laugh a lot and I must say that people who know me would call me smiley but nowadays I see a different side of me. I am forever angry and I do not like the person that I have become. I guess I will find myself and laugh as I used to but the thing is I no longer have a sense of humour. I think I perceive life very seriously...
