Throughout my life I had always heard the term, "Laughter Is the BEST Medicine". I never really understood that until doing research for this website. I was truly amazed and overwhelmed by all the research that is out there to support this saying. There are many great and wonderful health benefits to laughter. To name a few of the MANY different articles I read on how laughter is beneficial in a variety of ways, Norman Cousins, writes in his book, "Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient" how he used laughter and its benefits to help in aid in his recovery of a devastating illness. In the 1998 movie, Patch Adams, tells of how a medical professional can use the healing aspects of laughter to help his patients. I even read how laughter, a real good belly laugh that is, can help with weight loss, because of all the different chemicals that are released when one laughs, now that information sure got my interest...SMILE. I have been told that my ability to laugh and make others laugh is a God-given gift. Since laughter has the ability to lighten up our hearts, minds, and souls and of others. Let's try something right now as you are reading this, just try smiling, come on, you can do it...SMILE. Did you feel it? Do it again...SMILE. Did you sense a bit of lightness in your heart, in your chest, in your mind, in your body? Did you feel a sense of relief anywhere? Most people do, and if a smile can do that, just imagine how laughing will help you to feel better. Laughter can be quite contagious. Have you ever noticed when you are around someone that is laughing, that your spirit begins to take on cheerfulness, and then you begin to smile, giggle, or even laugh along with that person laughing out loud? You do not even need to know why that other person is laughing; the effects of their laughter just seem to start to positively affect those around. Laughter is a great and wonderful natural source to help relieve stress and help to brighten your days, so don't forget to use it. I am sure you will be amazed how much better life can be with a daily dose of laughter. LAUGH YOUR WAY TO A BETTER DAY!!!
