Stress relief from laughter? It's no joke
When it comes to relieving stress, more giggles and guffaws are just what the doctor ordered. Here's why.
👇
Whether you're guffawing at a sitcom on TV or quietly giggling at a newspaper cartoon, laughing does you good. Laughter is a great form of stress relief, and that's no joke.

Stress relief from laughter
👇
A good sense of humor can't cure all ailments, but data is mounting about the positive things laughter can do.
👇
Short-term benefits
👇
A good laugh has great short-term effects. When you start to laugh, it doesn't just lighten your load mentally, it actually induces physical changes in your body. Laughter can:
👇
Stimulate many organs. Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your brain.
👇
Activate and relieve your stress response. A rollicking laugh fires up and then cools down your stress response, and it can increase and then decrease your heart rate and blood pressure. The result? A good, relaxed feeling.
Soothe tension. Laughter can also stimulate circulation and aid muscle relaxation, both of which can help reduce some of the physical symptoms of stress.
👇
Long-term effects
👇
Laughter isn't just a quick pick-me-up, though. It's also good for you over the long term. Laughter may:
👇
Improve your immune system. Negative thoughts manifest into chemical reactions that can affect your body by bringing more stress into your system and decreasing your immunity. By contrast, positive thoughts can actually release neuropeptides that help fight stress and potentially more-serious illnesses.
Relieve pain.
👇
Laughter may ease pain by causing the body to produce its own natural painkillers.
👇
Increase personal satisfaction. Laughter can also make it easier to cope with difficult situations. It also helps you connect with other people.
👇
Improve your mood. Many people experience depression, sometimes due to chronic illnesses.
👇
Laughter can help lessen your stress, depression and anxiety and may make you feel happier. It can also improve your self-esteem.
