The Best Medicine: Laughter

Sometimes life calls for a serious attitude. However, we should always be aware of being too serious at any time. Our behavior in social settings is important in more ways than one. Lively, happy socializing is an enjoyable, healthy, comfortable, and entirely free occupation. Put some humor and spice into your daily conversations with keen observations, jokes, stories, and quotes. With practice, you can do it well. Good, hearty conversation is contagious and unifying. Lively, happy socializing is also a useful occupation.

Laughter may be the most important element present in a good conversation. It’s also the part of a conversation that is the best for your body. Recent scientific research has shown that laughter is also good for a whole host of health-related subjects. Among other things it helps strengthen the immune system, lowers blood pressure, increases blood flow, reduces stress (laughter relaxes your muscles for up to 45 minutes after the fact), and increases muscle tone. It also triggers the release of endorphins, which act as painkillers and help promote a sense of well-being.

This information all points to one paramount fact: laughing is not a mere luxury. A responsible person will make daily levity a priority. It is not a guarantee that maintaining a jovial demeanor will keep you continuously healthy, but it will certainly help to keep a cheerful attitude, keep optimistic, and keep being friendly to everyone around no matter what.

Besides, a laughing, light-hearted demeanor cannot help but enhance your overall quality of life. There is always that one thing that gets us down. When that troublesome aspect finally gets out of the picture, there are two more things to take its place. We need a laughing soul to keep us from being overly bothered by what is currently bothering us.

Maintaining this kind of attitude is not always easy. Sometimes it’s almost impossible! However, happiness is a choice. Prioritize it and concentrate on it. So live long and live laughing!
