According to a website report, selecthealthOn World Smile Day, we show the amazing benefits of laughter, as studies confirm that a good dose of laughter has great benefits for your body.
Laughter may not be the best medicine for the body, but it is still a good medicine. Scientists have spent years studying laughter, and studies are still showing that a good dose of laughter has great benefits for your body.
Here are 7 health benefits of laughter:
1. Relieves pain
Laughter releases the hormone endorphins, and one of the effects of this hormone secretion is that it increases pain tolerance. On their own instead of others, their pain tolerance also increased, but it was just under 10%.
2. Increases the chances of pregnancy
A 2011 study showed that women undergoing in vitro fertilization were 16% more likely to get pregnant when they met a clown than those who had never met and laughed with a clown.
3. Helps your heart
Giggling is good for your heart. Laughing helps your heart by increasing the amount of oxygen in your blood and raising your heart rate, and it also reduces hardening of the arterial wall — a link to cardiovascular disease.
4. Strengthens the immune system
Laughter can help you stay safe from viruses by improving your immune system. Laughter releases more infection antibodies to help protect your body from infection.
5. Makes you happier
Laughter helps improve your mood, and it can reduce chronic depression and anxiety as well as make it easier to deal with difficult situations.
6. Reduces stress
Your body releases the hormone cortisol when you’re stressed. Because it’s known as the stress hormone, it plays an important role in the body, helping to manage blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and manage metabolism.
7. Relax your body
Stress causes your muscles to tense. Laughter can help relieve stress because it relaxes your muscles. A good laugh can relieve additional stress on your muscles for up to 45 minutes as it stimulates blood circulation.
