Laughing is a way to express that you are happy. But do you know laughing also helps in improving your health? While itʼs said laughter is the best medicine, laughter therapy can relax you. Laughter therapy is based on the fact that our body cannot distinguish between real and fake laughter. So, fake laughter can be used to get the same benefit. But there is more than just one benefit of laughter therapy, letʼs find out!

Relaxes Your Whole Body

Laughing can subject you to inhale and exhale longer. This can improve the level of oxygen in your body. Once enough oxygen passes through your whole body, it receives an adequate amount of oxygen. This helps relax your whole body, and your muscles and makes you feel recharged. Frankly speaking, it can be a great feeling as well. No matter the time you practise it, itʼll have a similar impact.

Reduces Your Stress

Everything that you feel has a lot to do with the hormones in your body. Similarly, when you are stressed, your body releases a stress hormone, known as cortisol. But, stress damages the physical and mental health of the body. Too much cortisol is not good for the body as it can increase the sugar level in your bloodstream. Laughter therapy can help reduce or regulate this cortisol production thereby reducing your stress.

Improves Your Heartʼs Health

Laughter therapy is also one of the best cardio therapies. It can help improve the oxygen content in your blood and also improve your heartʼs pumping rate. Yes, it seems a little weird when you start it at first. Once you start laughter therapy, you can even notice that itʼll start regulating your heart rate. Hence, this is a great way to keep yourself happy and healthy.

Boosts Your Immune System

Laughter therapy can help you remain happy but did you know it can also boost your immune system? Yes, you read that right and yes we know it can be surprising. Laughter therapy can produce antibodies that help reduce your stress hormone and also help your body fight illness or infection. So, in a way, you donʼt just get stress-free, you also can become illness-free if you keep practising it regularly.

Tones Your Abs

One of the lesser-known benefits of laughter therapy is that it can tone your abs. Your stomach muscles contract and expand as you laugh which is pretty similar to an abs exercise. This way you can work your abs, laugh regularly, keep illness away, improve your heartʼs health and also just feel happier while practising laughter therapy regularly. Thatʼs too many and great benefits, right?

The Final Words

Make sure you set a goal to laugh regularly in your routine as itʼll push you to practise doing what makes you happy. Remember, a laugh can heal your mind, body and soul and it also adds a sparkle of confidence. Despite age, stress and depression, laughter therapy can be just what you need to make your day better.
