Personal growth guru Deepak Chopra believes, “The healthiest response to life is laughter.” We agree! So do people around the world, who have made the laughing emoji 😂 the most-used emoji on the Internet.
The old saying that laughter is the best medicine is supported by scientists. They explain that it activates the body’s natural relaxation response.
More Reasons to Smile
· When you encounter a challenging or tense situation, a good laugh can provide a great release, making you feel calmer.
· Laughing has been likened to internal jogging, because it massages your organs, and even helps tone your abs!
· Laughter can benefit physical health by relaxing muscles, lowering stress hormones, boosting immunity and decreasing sense of pain.
· It is also advantageous to mental health; it lowers anxiety, improves mood, helps combat depression, and adds joy and fun to life.
· It is not surprising that laughter, which is contagious (in a good way) is seen as restorative and positive. People often say that one of the desirable qualities they seek in a mate is a sense of humor.
LOL All the Way to the Scale
Laughter offers another benefit that fits into many people’s New Year’s Resolutions: it can help you lose weight. Laughing for 10-15 minutes burns about 40 calories. If you laugh a lot every day, those giggles and guffaws could add up to three or four pounds shed over the year.
Now that’s something to smile about!
