Why Laughter is Good For You
Description
A new fav IG account that ALWAYS makes me laugh
Sometimes the best medicine doesn’t come in a pill, it comes in the form of laughter. That belly-deep kind of laugh, the one that makes your cheeks hurt and your eyes water, is more powerful than we realize.
Laughter is good for you because:
• It relieves stress. Even a few minutes of genuine laughter lowers cortisol and helps your body relax.
• It connects us. Sharing a laugh with someone builds trust and strengthens relationships.
• It shifts perspective. A good laugh can take the edge off a hard moment, reminding us not to take everything so seriously.
• It boosts your body. Laughter increases oxygen intake, stimulates your heart and lungs, and even triggers the release of endorphins—the “feel-good” chemicals.
