A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after. *Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease. *Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain. *Laughter protects the heart.
