laughing to good health

Studies say that laughing is good to health. I have found eight health benefits of what laughter can do to the body.

What can laughter do?:

• Lower blood pressure
• Increase vascular blood flow and oxygenation of the blood
• Give a workout to the diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory,facial,leg, and back muscles
• Reduce certain stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline
• Increase the response of tumour and disease killing cells such as Gamma-interferon and T-cells
• defend against respiratory infections even reducing the frequency of colds by immunoglobulon in saliva
• Increase memory and learning;in a study at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, humour during instruction led to increase test scores
• Improve alertness,creativity, and memory

So people please laugh a lot so that you can improve your health.
