Laughter is Nature's Stressbuster

We all know that laughter makes us feel good. A regular 20 minute laughter session can have a profound impact on our health and well being.

Laughter is gentle exercise. It fills our lungs and body with oxygen, deep-clears our breathing passages and exercises our lungs. When we laugh our bodies release a cocktail of hormones and chemicals that have startling positive effects on our system:

  • STRESS is reduced
  • BLOOD PRESSURE drops
  • DEPRESSION is lifted
  • The IMMUNE SYSTEM is boosted
  • And MORE!

Western Science is just beginning to discover the great effects of LAUGHTER.
