    “Well, let’s see. Have you ever laughed so hard and say to yourself or to someone “That was a good laugh!”? I definitely have and would love to be laughing like that all the time. Based on my personal experiences with laughter, I would say, it is the best medicine for me and I truly doubt that there is anyone out there who hated laughing. Unquestionably, laughter has tremendous positive physical, emotional, mental and social benefits for all of us.

    The act of laughing stimulates hormones called catecholamine, which in turn release endorphins that produce a feeling of wellbeing. With endorphins surging through our bloodstream, we’re more likely to feel happy and relaxed. With each laugh, therefore, we’re relieving stress, reducing anxiety and increasing our stores of personal energy. All of these psychological and physiological results are wonderful tools in coping with illness, a hospital stay or even just a cranky coworker.”
