This day reminds us that laughter is not only entertainment but is also very important for our health and mental well-being. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often forget to laugh. But the benefits of laughing are countless.
Studies show that laughing reduces stress, strengthens the immune system and can even relieve pain. So let us know how laughing is beneficial for our health.
reduces stress
When we laugh, our body reduces the production of stress hormones like cortisol. Also, during laughing, a chemical called endorphin is released, which makes us feel happy. This reduces stress and we can remain mentally calm.
strong immune system
Studies show that laughing strengthens our immune system. Laughing increases the level of an antibody called immunoglobulin A in the body, which helps the body fight diseases.
Pain Reduction:
During laughter, the body releases chemicals called endorphins, which act as natural pain relievers. Also, laughing diverts our attention from pain, due to which we feel less discomfort.
Improves heart health:
Laughing reduces blood pressure and improves blood circulation. This reduces pressure on the heart and reduces the risk of heart disease.
Sharp mind
Laughing increases the flow of oxygen in the brain, which sharpens the brain and strengthens the memory.
So this World Humor Day, make yourself and people around you laugh. Watch a comedy show, hang out with friends, or watch a funny movie. There is no need for any special reason to laugh. Smile a little, develop the habit of laughing and improve your physical and mental health.
