Benefits Of Laughter

by Cecile Cinco

Although I’ve always said that “whoever said that laughter is the best medicine has never had asthma,” still laughter has a lot to do to make our whole being lighter and brighter.

- reduces stress, tension, depression, anger, etc

- adds spice to life

- makes you handle life’s challenges with ease

- reduces pain since laughter reduces endorphins more potent than equal amounts of morphine

- makes you a better communicator and team player

- boosts immune system

- you get some exercise

- when you make fun of yourself, you snatch the opportunity from others who would make fun of yourself

I used to have a sweatshirt where I painted the words “I’ve been on a diet for two weeks and all I lost is two weeks!” It made everyone who saw it laugh and it stripped others off the idea of making fun of me being a bit chubby then. :D The shirt has long been gone but I still love and laugh at the quote.

There is a local company that makes fun of the known expressions like “No Fear” was spelled “No Fera” which, for those who can understand Tagalog, means “no money” (no pera, walang pera). The design was still that of the original “No Fear” design. Another is the “TAG HEUER” logo but with “TAG HIRAP” instead, which means “time of recession” or “time of frugal living” or “time of poor living” and it all boils down to financial decline.

Not only do you share your idea to others by wearing funny t shirts but you help others as well to laugh some. A day without laughter is day wasted. Don’t wait till you have to do laughter therapy. Start now! Read jokes, watch comedies, and share the laughter with others. Just like a smile, it’s contagious and it’s free. :D
