Laugh, Snicker, Giggle: It's Good For You


Laughter is the best medicine - there is a truth to this cliché. You see, stress and anxiety are usually the cause of many disorders and illnesses - causes that can easily be relieved and remedied by some laughter. 

There are several other benefits that laughter can do for you that you might have overlooked like:
  • Stimulate body organs
  • Trigger your stress response
  • Soothes tension and aches
  • Boost your immune system
  • Relieve pain
  • Improves positive outlook
Here are some tips on getting more laughs in your life without being crazy:

Make humor part of your routine. Subscribe to an online comic strip that makes you laugh or put a collection of funny pictures on your desk so you can easily get a laugh into your daily routine.

Think silly. A lot of people are afraid of making a fool of themselves that they get so uptight about things. Aside from increasing anxiety and stress, they also miss out on the humor.

Look for jokes. Deliberately scan through copies of joke books in your local bookstore. There is a high chance that the jokes are corny, but the stupidity of it all may be just enough to get you cracking up.

  1. We have come to realize that there will be a need for two societies: 1) The American Society of Evolutionary Medicine (ASEM) for the medical professionals and 2) another for the general population. The second society will probably be a merger of many single groups as one voice.
