Why is Laughter Important?
As we grow older, it can be difficult to find a reason to smile, let alone have a huge belly laugh. Come on, when was the last time you enjoyed yourself so much that you joyfully and fully laughed, without a care about who was watching? Getting older can be painful – arthritis, stiff body, sore and achy. It can be migraines, stress, or a side effect from an ailment or medication. And it’s not just older people, inflammation, pain and stress can effect young people too. Laughter is good medicine and can help with positive outcomes with mental and physical health concerns.
A more positive mental state can be the door for a world of possibilities, and it all starts with laughter. Laughter is a proven fighter of depression and anxiety. It triggers endorphins in the body, lightening the spirit and inspiring the soul. By relieving your stress hormones, laughter physically relaxes the body and allows you to feel recharged. It is also a way to draw yourself closer to others, which can help you to feel less alone and combat depression in an entirely different way. Laughter can even serve as a daily workout—when you just can’t make it to the gym. By laughing for only ten to fifteen minutes a day, you can burn as many as forty calories! Beyond this, and on a more serious note, laughter can even increase your longevity, especially for those who are battling disease.
