Laughing Power

Laughter is good for you. It is a very powerful force that positively affects the whole body. The breath released during a hearty laugh has been clocked at speeds as fast as 170 miles per hour. Laughter stimulates the brain, the nervous system, the respiratory system, the hormonal system, and the muscular system. Numerous studies show that it lowers blood pressure, lightens depression, increases muscle flexion, can reduce allergy symptoms, strengthens the immune system, and reduces stress! http://www.laughteryoga.org/index.php http://www.blueridgespirit.com/Articles/laughter_let_it_out.htm http://www.holistic-online.com/Humor_Therapy/humor_therapy_benefits.htm http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=51918 http://www.fotocommunity.com/pc/pc/mypics/842948/display/8947296
