Laughter has many positive Health Benefits
which can counteract the negative affects of
Daily Stress. Our Stress can impact both our
mental and physical health.

Laughter increases the functioning of the immune
system, helping the body to fight off illness and
disease by increasing production of endorphins,
giving feelings of happiness and well-being.

There also is a decreasing of the secretion of
cortisol and the sedimentation rate which
benefits the body’s cardiovascular system.

oxygen in the blood increases, arteries relax,
heart rate and blood temperature are lowered,
circulation increases and the skin temperature
rises. All of these physical responses have a
calming effect on a person.

Laughter has the potential to help speed healing,
and increase overall Health and well-being, when
it’s benefits are fully realized as a part of a Stress
Management plan.

These are a few reasons why Laughter should
become a part of your daily Health Plan. A good
joke or a little fun is a good reliever for
