WHY IS LAUGHTER THE BEST MEDICINE ?

1. 

·         Laughter is a good aerobic exercise.

·         When you have a good laugh, you are actually deeply inhaling air, retaining it in your lungs and exhaling in force.

2.

·         Laughter provides a unique relaxation in our busy lives.

·         It helps control blood pressure by reducing the release of stress-related hormones, thereby bringing relaxation.

·         An hour’s laughter session everyday can help high BP patients in reducing their medicine dosage.

3.

·         Laughter therapy is good for the lungs, as it improves lung capacity and oxygen levels in the blood.

·         Chest physiotherapy, which removes phlegm from the respiratory passages, can be achieved effortlessly by laughter therapy.

4.

·         Laughter therapy helps in reducing asthmatic attacks as it increases levels of antibodies in the mucous membrane of the respiratory passages, thus reducing frequency of chest infections.

5.

·         Laughter can also help in treating diabetes, arthritis, slip disc, insomnia, allergies, spondylitis, depression and Parkinson’s disease.
