Sanity Tip–Laugh
September 18th, 2009
“A clown is like an aspirin, only he works twice as fast.” Groucho Marx
“A cheerful heart is good medicine.” King Solomon (Proverbs 17:22)
Most adults laugh 0 to 50 times a day. Researchers recommend 100 to 400 laughs a day. (Four-year-olds’ level).
Here’s a partial list for the benefits of laughter:
Improved blood circulation
Increased oxygenation of the blood
Reduced pain
Muscle relaxation
Reduced stress hormones
Stronger immune system
Reduced anger
Reduced anxiety
More joy
More sense of hope
I found out a long time ago that laughter is the best medicine, and
I intend to laugh all the way to my grave!
