When was the last time you had a gut-wrenching laugh? Surround yourself with people that make you laugh to reap all the healthy benefits…

• Laughter relaxes the whole body
• Laughter boosts the immune system, decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells, thus improving your resistance to disease.
• Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
• Laughter protects the heart by improving blood vessels and increasing blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

Laugh and be well!
