Go ahead, have a good laugh!

Did you know that laughter is good for you?  The bible says that laughter is good medicine and this fact has proved to be true.  Recent studies done by scientists have proved that laughter really is good medicine.  Laughter reduces stress and relaxes the muscles in the body.  Laughter does a body good!

According to Associate Professor of Pathology at Loma Linda University in California, Dr. Lee Berk, laughter stimulates and soothes the body, actually refreshing the soul, much like an aerobic exercise, says Dr. Berk.  Humor cures what ails you.  Laughing is something that everyone needs to do more often.

When things in life are getting you down and you need to release the stress and strain, go buy a comedy video and keep a library of them at home.  Watch cartoons on television; they will make you laugh.  Do not forget the cartoon funnies in the newspaper to lift your day!

Smiling is a daily gift to give.  Giving someone a smile today can lift the countenance of the person that receives it.  People who smile are more positive than people who frown.  People who frown tend to be more negative.  Smiling is so healthy for you that is actually keeps you wrinkle-free and brings a vibrant shine to your face.

So try it – make someone laugh and smile at them!  See what a difference you can bring to others.  Together laughter and a smile can make you have a better day and become a daily gift to pass to others.  Laugh and smile each day!
