Boost Your Immune System With Laughter
I do believe that laughter is the best medicine. I love a good belly laugh and I love people that can make me laugh.They are great to be around. So this coming New Year surround yourself with people that you can have a good laugh with instead of the complainers.
Make it a habit to watch funny videos when you feel under the weather, angry, or depressed. Last year, researchers at Loma Linda University published a study on the results of laughter on the immune system. They asked volunteers to watch a video of the comedian Gallagher smashing produce with a sledge hammer.
The researchers noticed that the volunteers showed significant improvements in several immune-system functions, such as natural killer cell activity. In another study, the same researchers found that merely anticipating watching a funny video improved moods such as anger, tension, and depression up to 2 days before actually watching the video. It really is true when they say "laughter is the best medic
The next time you go to the video store, check out the comedy section. Look through your TV guide for funny shows, and set your VCR to record them. Feelings of depression or an illness coming on should be your trigger to watch something funny.
To your awesome health and wellness.
