“Laughter is part of the human survival kit�
- David Nathan

 

A good joke can do more than lighten up your day. Studies show that laughing can reduce stress and be beneficial to your health. A new technique in therapy, called laughter humor therapy, is based on the healing benefits of having a good laugh. The movie “Patch Adams,� based on the real life a a doctor, shows the use of the therapy to help take away pain in patients.

Research has shown that laughing can help in:
    * lowering blood pressure
    * reducing stress hormones
    * increasing muscle flexion
    * boosting immune function by raising levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-  fighting proteins called Gammainterferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies.
    * triggering the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers
    * producing a general sense of well-being.

 

So, have a good laugh on us today, and watch as your health improves. Don’t forget to share your jokes, funny stories and comedic relief with friends and improve their health too.

 

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine they lay down for the night, and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend awake. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars." "What does that tell you?" Holmes questioned. Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?" Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent."...From www.cleanjokes4u.com

 

A husband was trying to prove to his wife that women talk more than men. He showed her a study which indicated that men use about 10,000 words per day, where as women use 20,000 words per day. His wife thought about this for a while. She then told her husband that women use twice as many words as men because they have to repeat everything they say. Her husband looked stunned. He said "What?" From www.basicjokes.com
