Laugh your way to health

Posted by Peter Gibbins on February 15, 2014 at 6:59pm

We have all heard the old adage "Laughter is the best medicine"

laughter increases blood flow by 22% ; stress decreases blood flow by 35% Laughter is good for the heart, whole body exercise and especially our mood. Laughter triggers the release of endorphins.

Our brain loves to laugh and a good laugh is great for social contact.

A laugh shared is a powerful social influence.

Laughter is critical to managing depression and stress.

Living Wealth Coaching is a laughter therapy to promote joy and happiness
