Monday, February 18, 2013
It’s been said that laughter is the best medicine. Although this statement might be a bit of a stretch, laughter does have several proven health benefits. An article was released by helpguide.org explaining the health benefits of laughter. According to the article Laughter is the Best Medicine, laughing relaxes the body, boosts the immune system, triggers the release of endorphins and helps protect the heart. Even at the start of the semester, the obligations that come along with school or work can be stressful. Being stressed or busy can also cause a person to become sick more easily. While finding time to get everything done in a day can feel challenging it’s important to make time for laughter and fun in order to stay happy and healthy.
