laughter really is the best medicine

laughter really is the best medicine

Laughter really is the best medicine and certainly can improve performance and weight loss.  Likewise being a miserable git will help you into a early grave, keep fat on and stop your body functioning properly.  There are loads of studies talking about the effects of being happy, laughter, not hating and the amazing health benefits of them all.

In one amazing study, sixteen men watched a funny video, afterwards they tested the mens hormonal change.
  1. levels of the stress hormone (fat storing) cortisol fell by 39%
  2. Adrenaline levels fell by 70%, we dont need to have adrenaline floating around in our normal day to day.
  3. Our good healthy hormones endorphins grew by 27%.
  4. The growth hormones increased by a stagering 87%
Its super hard to try and stay happy and positive and have laughter in your life, however you could say if its a matter or life or death........ could you be happier?

The best tip here is to love everyone, dont hold grudges, anger or resentment because if you do your body will be constantly in a stressed state which will surely put you in an early grave.

A native american folk story

An elder was imparting wisdom onto his grandson, he was talking about his conflict.  "i have two wolves fighting in my heart .  "One wolf is vengeful, fearful, enviuos, resentful and deceitful.  The other wolf is loving, generous, truthful and serene."
The grandson asked,"which one will win the fight?.  The grandfather responded "the one i feed.

A great story and the same way Nelson Mandela managed to live to the grand old age of 95, you see he had a reason to hate, however he chose not to hate and be happy.  Every time you seen the big man, he was always smiling, cracking jokes and being positive.
