There is a special discussion in the book about why we laugh. Research shows that laughing 100 times is equivalent to using 10 minutes of rowing machine or riding 15 minutes of exercise. Visible, as the saying goes, "smile, ten years younger" has certain scientific basis! Studies have shown that happy laughter and belly laughter can increase human immunity. On the contrary, negative emotions and stress will have a negative impact on the immune system, which is related to the stress hormone cortisol. When we feel nervous or anxious, the cortisol concentration will rise. If the cortisol level is too high, it will affect the immune system.
Laughter has other functions, which can lower blood pressure and increase blood flow to the heart; It can also help lower blood sugar levels, which will reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes; Laughter is still a form of exercise; Laughter is still contagious.
