4/18 Health Thought of the Day (Laughter) Sidhwa, 1985

WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A GOOD, HEARTY BELLY-LAUGH?

 

 

You know - the kind where the whole body gets involved? You find yourself

thrown against the back of your chair one minute and then doubled over the

next. Great, loud noises burst from your upturned and open mouth. Tears flow

from the corners of your eyes, and you grasp the sides of your body in mock

agony. At the same time, tense muscles go limp - so you may not even have

the strength to make a fist. Laughter aids the circulation, enhances

respiration, massages the abdominal muscles, stimulates digestion, lowers

blood pressures, begets optimism and self-confidence, and relegates fear and

pessimism to the background.
