According to researchers, laughter stimulates the feel good chemicals in the brain so you want to do it over and over again. Laugh your way to good health. Here's what happens throughout the body.
FACEWhen we laugh, as many as 15 muscles squeeze are faces into a smile. Increased blood flow there may turn us a bit pinker and give us a happy glow.
EYES HAVE IT
If the laugh is vigorous enough, our tear ducts can activate. Sometimes our glee can have a cumulative effect till we are literally crying with joy-and studies show that tears, whether happy or sad, may reduce
symptoms of stress.

Have'nt you heard the heart laughter going ha-ha ha, rhythmic blasts of vocalized air. In addition, saliva of patients have been tested and after laughing episodes they found that there were higher levels of disease-fighting agents called immuno globins. Other studies have found higher blood levels of killer T-cells, suggesting that laughter may raise our immune function.

VOCAL POINT
Our vocal equipment has to roll up its sleeves to produce our high pitched hysteria. The diaphragm, a strong muscle under the lungs, pumps down and up, filling the lungs and then blasting air out of them,
up through the voice box to produce the laugh. A hearty guffaw is quite a workout for this system, requiring as much effort and volume as yelling. Because the lungs are exchanging much more air than normal, they enrich the blood with oxygen.

Our heart rate and blood pressure spike briefly when we laugh.. They increase a bit even when
we chuckle while sitting in a chair watching a funny act. In addition to possible immune benefits noted earlier, laughter seems to help diabetics keep their glucose levels in check.In a recent study, cardiologist Michael Miller investigated the effect of laughter on the inner lining of the blood vessels, or endothelium. Yes,
even that part of our body produces chemicals- good ones when it expands, bad ones when it constricts.
PAIN RELIEVER
Whether in our extremities or up in our brains, laughter seems to have an analgesic effect; it
increases our tolerance for pain. Back in 1987, psychologist Rosemary Cogan used the discomfort of a pressure cuff to test another medical benefit of another medical benefit of laughter °pain management. Subjects who had watched a 20 minute actor comedian routine could tolerate a tighter cuff than those who had watched an informational tape or no tape at all.

BELLY LAUGHS
A hearty laugh can cause us to double over and tense all our major muscle groups for minutes at a time, leading to a simple conclusion Laughter is exercise. A leading professional in this area Lee Berk calls it "Inner jogging" .The heart rate and blood pressure go up while you're laughing, but then they fall down below your baseline afterwards, the same as with exercise. This could be very important.

EXERCISE
Exercise for elderly and sick people who can't get out and run three
kilometers. According to Provine, early laughter researcher William Fry found that it took ten minutes on his rowing machine to elevate his heart rate to the same level provided by a good belly laugh. A finding that may have millions rationalizing how important it is to sit down and have a good laugh with family and friends and cheer up your life.
