be active: laugh, laugh and laugh some more for your health’s sake
I know you have heard the old saying that “Laughter is the best medicine” but did you know that it is scientifically true? According to Psychology Today, there is factual evidence that laughter truly is an action that improves health in multiple ways. Laughter reduces pain, discomfort and improves job performance and relationships. This action also helps a person’s blood in multiple ways–reduces blood sugar and helps blood vessel function better. “It acts on the inner lining of blood vessels, called the endothelium, causing vessels to relax and expand, increasing blood flow. In other words, it’s good for your heart and brain, two organs that require the steady flow of oxygen carried in the blood.” Laughter does a whole lot more as well.

Now, if you need some help laughing, then perhaps, these five videos below can help. If not, there is a whole host of videos on YouTube that can instantly bring you laughter. You can also go to a comedy club, watch a sitcom or funny movie and spend time with friends that you know will always make you laugh at least once.
So if you are going through a tough time or have been stressed out, try to laugh at life’s quirky ways and keep living with a smile. Life would love your laughter and the energy will be more positive around you and around the Universe! You are a powerful being and you simply giggling, chuckling, laughing, cracking up helps the world. Believe it or not.

This is AWESOME! And I am reminded of the section in the movie The Secret where the lovely woman who was diagnosed with BC knew they couldn’t collapse into despair so her and her husband decided to laugh and laugh! Only watched and read very funny material. And her next checkup (a follow up in prep for treatment) came out 100% clear! Again, I needed this today. You are an angel for me. Much love and hugs, Gina
