5 Reason why laughter is the
best medicine
Laughter
is a potent endorphin releaser. One of the most
recent studies on laughter shows that laughing with others releases
endorphins in the brain—our home-grown feel-good chemicals—via opioid
receptors.
Laughter
Increases Resilience. Resilience is the ability to see
failure as natural progression to success rather than as a negative
outcome. People who are resilient are happier and more successful.
Laughter
Relieves Pain. People who are laughing don’t experience
less pain, however they report being less bothered by the pain they
do experience. It’s not about changing pain levels. The amount of pain remains
the same, but your perceived pain levels reduce and your belief that you can
cope increases. Laughter by itself isn’t the solution but it can help a person
overcome discomfort.
Laughter lightens anger’s heavy load. Nothing diffuses anger and conflict faster than a
shared laugh. Looking at the funny side can put problems into perspective and
enable you to move on from confrontations without holding onto bitterness or
resentment.
Laughter may even help you to live
longer. A study in Norway found that
people with a strong sense of humor outlived those who don't laugh as much. The
difference was particularly notable for those battling cancer.
