Health corner:Why laughter is the best medicine

  • Laughing is a great sharing experience that brings you closer to others, even people you don’t know that well.
  • A good hearty laugh can leave your muscles relaxed for as long as 45 minutes afterwards.
  • How to deal with stress – laughing decreases the presence of stress hormones in your body and at the same time it increases the body’s performance at creating cell generation and building up the antibodies that fight infection.
  • Laughing helps the body release endorphins that not only make you feel good, but can even take your mind off pain.
  • It boosts confidence, putting other problems and worries into perspective.
    • Get your ‘five a day’ laughs
    • Try to get on the phone with a good friend for half an hour every other day. We all lead busy lives, but don’t let it turn into weeks before you have a good fun catch-up.
    • Make your fridge a ‘laugh wall’. Banish boring school letters and shopping lists and instead get the whole family to post up cartoons, silly jokes, photos of days on holiday when something funny happened, and most importantly, lots of photos of you all laughing. It’ll make you giggle every time you open the fridge.
    • Get classic and new comedy on your mobile or computer
