If you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is
laughing. But if you are able to muster up even the smallest chuckle during
your day, you’ll soon begin to find that the effects of stress slowly slip
away.
When we laugh, the body releases happy hormones called endorphins,
which actively counteract the blood-boiling chemicals that are produced when
stress hits home.
Laughing allows us to take in a momentous supply of fresh oxygen
from the air, stimulating the muscles and providing our system with some
healthy shock treatment that eases tension brought on by stress.
If you ever begin to experience that oh-so-familiar feeling
amplifying inside you, take a break to flick through some online joke sites,
watch some funny YouTube clips, or scroll through some old photos of you and
your family/friends that always cheer you up.
Laughing is something we need to do every day to stay healthy, and
is great way to keep the nasty effects of stress at bay.
