Reading Laughter

Laughing provides health benefits to the entire body. When we laugh, we exercise muscles in the face and chest while breathing quickly. This lowers blood pressure and improves circulation. Laughing also produces beta-endorphins that act as natural painkillers. Doctors believe laughter can help people recover from illness. Laughter clubs started in India and now exist around the world, where people gather daily to laugh as a form of exercise without jokes. Members report feeling better afterwards.
