Laughter is clear out one of the most universally recognized human endeavors. People laugh for various reasons. Taking these reasons together and looking at the benefits of laughing, there is a compelling reason to advise people never to stop laughing.
Or to put it another way, people must keep on laughing to make the world a better place!
Some people might fight it surprising laughing had any benefits beyond the fact it is a way of conveying how funny a situation or action is. Actually, it has many surprising health benefits.
Apart from the health benefits, there are also physiological and social benefits from laughing. Though of course, in certain situations, laughing can be considered inappropriate or offensive. That is one time advising somebody to never stop laughing would be unwise.
So if laughing is not part of your daily routine because you want to look super cool with your deadpan face, here is hoping reading this would make you change your mind.
And as for those who love laughing, I present to you more reasons to never stop laughing
Reasons to never stop laughing
Laughing can help you relieve pain
Have you ever being in a situation where you laughed so much you forgot your pains? It’s likely it’d happened to you on several occasions but you did not pay attention to the fact that you are no longer in pain.
The fact is, laughing stimulates the body to release endorphins. These chemicals are the body’s natural pain killers or relievers.
So in certain instances, the release of endorphins as you laugh would help in the relief of body pains.
Laughing releases stress
That laughing is a stress reliever should be obvious to all. Some, though, take that fact for granted.
If you find yourself in a stressful situation or you are stressed up generally, find a reason to laugh and never stop laughing while you are at it.
Before you know it, your body would feel relaxed and less stressful. Remember, stress is one of the leading causes of high blood pressure. So just laugh and save yourself the agony of medical bills later.
It lowers blood pressure
As stated in the previous point, stress is one of the causes of high blood pressure. Laughing, therefore, lowers stress and ultimately reduces high blood pressure.
You should be glad that combating high blood pressure can be done with something as simple as laughing. No need for expensive lab tests and visits to the doctor if you just learn how to bring more laughter into your life.
It boosts the immune system
Studies have shown that laughing triggers the immune system to release specialized immune cells known as T-cells. These T-cells immediately helps the body fight illnesses or microorganisms intent on causing harm to the body
Your abs benefit from laughing
I am sure many have laughed so much that their stomach hurt. That is one of the reasons you should never stop laughing.
The pain you felt in your stomach after vigorous laughter is a good kind of pain. It is the stomach muscles getting a much-needed exercise.
That way, you invariably burn those pesky tummy fats that are so difficult to eliminate.
Laughing is beneficial to the heart
One of the best ways of exercising your heart is through laughing.
This is good for those, who for one reason or the other, are not able to do some form of physical exercise. It is recommended that they laugh more often as it a good cardiovascular exercise.
Laughing burn almost a similar or about the same amount of calories that you burn from walking for one hour at a moderate pace.
So to keep your heart in robust health, to keep pumping life-giving blood through your body, try to never stop laughing and just keep on laughing anytime you get the chance.
Laughter improves your social skills
People respond positively to those who laugh easily than to those whose default facial expression is always a frown.
By laughing, one can easily break the ice in tense situations. For instance, when talking to a person you wish to date, getting them to laugh can break the ice and make conversation flow easier.
Laughing is really one of the best allies one can have in any social environment.
And of course, laughing at the appropriate time makes one instantly likable to others.
Use laughter to get through difficult times
No matter what you are going through at the moment, you have a willing ally right inside of you. Laughing might not solve the problems or resolve the situation, but it would help you get a better perspective on it.
By laughing, your psyche becomes programmed to relax. And once you are relaxed, you’d be able to make rational choices from a cool analysis of the situation.
So now I guess you now understand why one should never stop laughing. If you have friends who hardly laugh, why not show them this piece.
Better still, share this with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. You just might be helping a bunch of people.
Cheers.
