What Happens When We Laugh😁

Within our immune system, laughter increases the amount of T cells, which are the body’s natural defense against viruses, cancer cells, and other disease-causing cells. Levels of B cells, which make disease-destroying antibodies, and levels of Immunoglobulins A, G, and M, which help fight infection, all rise. Laughter boosts the immune system, so it would be safe to assume that laughter makes us healthier.

Some researchers even suggest that laughing 100 times gives you the same workout as 15 minutes on an exercise bike. Laughing works the cardiovascular system and lowers blood pressure, so it’s like a cardio workout. It also increases memory and cognitive functioning.

Many people believe laughter is contagious, and one person laughing can start others in a fit. If you’re feeling sick, lacking energy, or stressed, try a few rounds of laughter. It’s the medicine you don’t need a doctor(😳😳) to prescribe or a fancy exercise machine to complete.
