The Importance of Laughter
Mascari, Brooke. June 25, 2024
Laughter has incredible healing effects!
Do you remember the last time you laughed so hard that you could barely breathe? Even if you were in the midst of a difficult situation, you may have felt lightened by a feeling of pure joy and ease, letting go of the past and forgetting the future.
It turns out that laughter is good for our body and soul. Scientific research has found that a good belly laugh enhances immune function for 24 hours.
Laughter also decreases stress levels, relieves pain, eases depression, and can even improve our memory! Best of all, it feels good.
