Natural Stress Relief

LAUGHTER REALLY IS THE BEST MEDICINE
FOR ACHIEVING NATURAL STRESS RELIEF!

The laughter prescription has been passed down to us for milleniums. Even the bible, Proverbs 17:22, tells us “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.”

Today modern medicine is backing this up with scientific research that has shown that smiling and laughing cause positive physiological effects in your body by acting like a powerful neurochemcial "reset switch" in the brain. AND this happens even if we only pretend to laugh.

Watch this video for a minute, let yourself laugh, and experience this neurochemical shift for yourself in less than a minute:

While you have been watching this 1 min. video there has been a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol in your brain and an increase in mood elevating endorphins.

This is the same type of effect obtained by prescription anti-stress drugs, such as tranquilizers, anti-depressants, sleep drugs and other stress drugs that work by similarly altering the neurochemistry in the brain.

Not only does laughter and humor profoundly decrease stress and anxiety by altering brain chemistry in positive ways, but it also reinforces immunity, relaxes muscle tension, and decreases blood pressure and pain.

Modern medicine is beginning to take advantage of the positive natural stress relief effect of laughter hospitalized children who see clown shows have significantly shorter hospital stays than those who do not.
