Laughter for Digestion – Unleash the Comedian in You!
Can you take this – yes, you need to laugh a little to digest your food. A recent study says that laughter is the most natural way to get a massage of your internal organs. In addition, experts say that probably it is one effective way to aid the digestion process.
Recurring studies have also shown that humor can reduce the levels of stress just as adrenaline can help in lowering blood pressure and in boosting the immune system (by raising the level of antibodies).
Stanford University researchers are of the opinion a laugh can also make one more attentive, can exercise the skeletal muscles and in a way also improve circulation. Experts opine that 100 laughs in just one day can reap similar cardio-respiratory response as 15 minutes of stationary biking can do.
Set the Comedian Free
Without much haste, tickle your imagination and get laughing for good health:
- Lie down on your bed a sing a duet with your partner or your kids no matter ho cranky you can get
- Tickle your kids
- Pin up funny cartoons, clippings or photographs at office or home
- Send a funny greeting card to someone
- Watch some comedy flicks
- Share silly jokes with friends and family during dinner or in a post-dinner session
Without much knowledge, you’d be laughing your worries away without having to get too touchy about meeting your exercise schedules and diet (which is of course imperative to maintain). Remember – depression can lead you to indulge hopelessly on food that can add many more pounds. So remain happy and tickle yourself away to good health and happiness.
