We all know that a good laugh makes us feel better, but did you know that it is scientifically proven to improve our health?

Here are a few benefits:

Having a good laugh works out our muscles causing them to contract and can be the equivalent of 10-15 minutes on a rowing machine or exercise bike.

It reduces you blood pressure by increasing the amount of oxygen in your blood and assisting natural healing processes.

Laughter increases the number of B-cells which destroy disease as well as balances the immune system.

It also reduces the level of stress hormones by providing a harmless way of releasing negative emotions such as anger, hostility and fear that arise from the “fight or flight” mode.

So get out into the sunshine and have a good laugh this summer.
