Is laughter really good for you?

When you laugh, your body releases good hormones (endorphins), decreases stress hormones (cortisol), and increases blood circulations. Thus, laughter lowers blood pressure. Try to laugh at least 20 minutes each day to lower your blood pressure. "Laughter is the best medicine" because it relaxes your mind and body. Sitcoms or movies that make you laugh would be ideal to help lower your blood pressure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vk8Dxzqu2o Also, see the following on YoUTUBE Laughter is the Best Medicine | David Cruz | TEDxTemecula Why we laugh | Sophie Scott The Skill of Humor | Andrew Tarvin | TEDxTAMU
