Laugh from the heart

Why is laughter so healthy

When laughing, the lungs absorb a lot of oxygen, the heart beats faster and pumps the oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. Organism and metabolism are stimulated. The “fit of laughter” is followed by a state of relaxation and with it well-being through the release of happiness hormones (endorphins) and the reduction of the stress hormone adrenaline. The short-term changes in hormone levels can be so severe that they help alleviate pain. The immune system is also stimulated by laughter and the production of antibodies.
