Laughter wellness.

What I learnt today is that a system called Laughter therapy can have amazing positive effects on all aspects of one's life.

Everyone knows subjectively that laughter always makes you feel good or better than you did before you laughed. I think everyone also knows instinctively that this has to be good for you, and must have health benefits. Hence the old saying "laughter is the best medicine".

As it turns out, research backs this up, giving credence to Laughter yoga and other laughter practices. It has been shown that laughter therapy can promote wellness, help prevent diseases, lessen the impact of existing diseases. Look up Laughter online university and Laughter wellness and see some interesting research.
