Conclusion ~ Benefits of Laughter
Laughter positively affects many aspects of our life, including our health, well-being and energy, which leads to a healthier and better quality of life.
When we laugh, it causes certain chemical changes to our body. It has been proven that as we laugh, we release enzymes and hormones that are helpful for normal functioning of various organs. This is due to a connection between laughing and stimulation of brain and different glands Our immune system also becomes stronger.
In addition, laughter helps relieve stress, depression, anxiety, grief, anger and irritation. Laughing also decreases pain by releasing a hormone known as endorphins. It improves our attentiveness, pulse and heart rate.
So basically, we look better, feel better, live better and longer when we laugh. My prescription for you - laugh out loud 3 x every day for the rest of your beautiful life.

Great Hub! The babies laughing had my cat run to the screen to take a look at all that baby laughter. Apparently, even animals can't resist baby laughter! Made me smile even more! Keep 'em coming!
This was GREAT! I especially like: The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'. LOL! This just made my morning.
Laughter, good for the soul. I enjoyed and laughed when I read your article...
Audrey, I agree with you 1,000 percent. Laughter is good medicine and it makes the world go round and he or she who laughs, lasts!
Loved the laughing babies and the resurrection of the Donald O'Connor dance routine - he was remarkably funny!

Awesomely useful, funny and beautiful! No writing come to mind that is more appropriate for "now". God bless! Funny and beautiful!
When I read your story with the shy pupil, then I was touched, - your writing had depth. That I'm missing here when you write about laughing and also in those jokes you are quoting. I like to tell a joke in certain moments, when a situation needs a light and uplifting energy and then it is astonishing to observe how the laughter in an instant changes and clears up the atmosphere. The question is, if the energy comes from the joke or from the person who is telling the joke... That's probably the reason why most jokes, when one reads them, are not so funny. Anyway, it is good to think about it and so one can use this tool in a more effective way, because one is more conscious about using it.
I made a video some time ago, what I believe is funny and might make you laugh, so this is my 'thank you' to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Se9Ry3VNDU
How gloomy the earth will be if laughter is not present... Thank God, it is naturally a part of every soul He created. ^_^ Thanks for a good laugh here! ^_^
Great funny quotes, just loved them; some I knew, but is always good to remember them when you "need them most"
Nice hub vocalcoach. Some of those quotes are so funny and I liked the video with the two babies laughing too.
