When you start to laugh, it doesn’t just lighten your load mentally, it actually induces physical changes in your body. It can:
- Stimulate organs. Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins released by your brain.
- Activate and relieve your stress response. A rollicking laugh fires up then cools down your stress response, and it can increase then decrease your heart rate and blood pressure. The result? A good, relaxed feeling.
- Soothe tension. Laughter can also stimulate circulation and aid muscle relaxation, both of which can help reduce some of the physical symptoms of stress.
Laughter isn’t just a quick pick-me-up, though. It’s also good for you over the long term. So make sure to keep a good laugh on the “ha”-rizon!
