I grew up hearing my Mom saying “Laughter is the best medicine.” I usually heard this when I was grumpy or when my Mom was encouraging me to not take myself too seriously. As it turns out, that childhood advice is scientifically sound.
A recent study at Indiana State University Sycamore College of Nursing found that laughter actually reduced stress AND also improved the body’s immune function! Laughing regularly can actually reduce the stress hormone cortisol.
So, put on that smile and look for things to laugh about. You’ll be happier and healthier!
