Laugh your way to a Healthier Life

     Of the many important things in life, health always is near the top of the list, if not the first.  I’m not just making this up, many people have told me that if they could change one thing in life it would be to live a healthier life.  Sometimes we do not have control of some aspects of health, such as our genetics or accidents but we can control health by exercise, diet, etc. as we already know.  I don’t want to bore you with more information about diet and exercise, since you already know the benefits. 

     There are other ways to improve your health and one is laughter.  It’s true, laughter reduces stress and anxiety, it is a proven fact.  I’m sure you’ve had instances when you were a little down and stumbled on to something that made you laugh.  Didn’t you feel good and immediately forget your problems, or what you thought were your problems, I know I have.  I take every opportunity to laugh as much as possible; I actually look for things that make me laugh.  Laughter is infectious and it brings people together.  If you hear someone laughing you’re going to go and find out what’s so funny.

     There are so many benefits to laughter that it’s hard to list them all.  Maybe laughter won’t replace medicine, exercise or diet but what fun way to boost your health without a co-pay or membership fee.

     No matter what you do in life, I think we all will agree that life, as we know it, is temporary.  Use laughter as therapy for a healthier life however long it may be.  Although, I guess it’s possible that there maybe someone out there that believes they will live forever, if that is you please leave a comment to this post explaining your secrets also let me know what institution you currently reside in.….You should be laughing now or at least chuckling.

     So your prescription for today to reduce stress and release some much-needed endorphins is to Laugh it Up.  “Just Saying…”
