When was the last time you had a big belly laugh? If it’s been a while then you could be missing out – laughing is known to help your health and there are lots of simple ways to get the giggles...
The feel-good factor
Laughing helps us to connect and bond with others as it diffuses stress and releases mood-boosting endorphins that have a domino effect when shared. Add to that the many health benefits that laughter can bring – everything from lowering blood pressure and protecting heart muscles, to releasing serotonin, the brain’s feel-good chemical – and it’s clear anything that causes us to crack a smile should be an essential part of our day-to-day existence. So it’s well worth finding ways to ensure that we’re laughing more.
