Laughter is Good for Your Health
Laughter relaxes the whole body
A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
Laughter boosts the immune system
Laughter reduces stress hormones and boosts immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thereby enhancing disease resistance.
Laughter triggers the release of endorphins
Endorphins is the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.

It’s no replacement for going to the gym, but one study found that laughing for 10 to 15 minutes a day can burn approximately 40 calories.
Laughter lightens anger’s heavy load
A shared laugh is the fastest way to alleviate tension and conflict. It might help you put things into perspective and move on from disagreements.
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.
