Laughter May Just Be 'The Best Medicine'

This post is dedicated to my daughter who reminded me today that laughter - real belly hurting, fall out of your chair laughter - might just 'heal all'!

DID YOU KNOW THAT LAUGHTER - - -

  1. works faster than any medication and is free of any side effects;
  2. has many health benefits;
  3. is physically good for you - it's a 'super vitamin';
  4. relieves muscle tension, improves memory and the immune system;
  5. enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air and stimulates your lungs;
  6. helps your mind perform faster and better.

 We all know we feel better once we've laughed - that's because it helps us replace distressing emotions with pleasurable feelings.

We adults need to look for humor around us and stop taking ourselves too seriously. 
Did you know that kids under 5 years old laugh an average 400 times a day?  However, that number drops to 3 - 5 times a day by the time we reach age '37'! 

A wise person once said, "Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone".

Have a great day........and I hope you LAUGH.  As Always, Terrie
