Hustle and bustle of the new year got you down? Stressed out already? Maybe it's time to let it all out with a good laugh. Some studies suggest it lowers blood pressure. Researchers have shown that it may have an affect on immune response, so you can have a better response from someone who has a common cold or infections when they laugh. Researchers have found that laughing not only loosens us up, and opens up our blood vessels, it can also de-stress us. And that's good because stress can cause the brain to overload with chemicals that could lead to high blood pressure, even a stroke or heart attack. You can easily counteract a stressful response with laughter.
The best ways to get a good chuckle? Doctors recommend spending time with friends or enjoying a funny book or a comedy on tv or at the movies and try to see the humor in life because laughter is by far among the best medicines that we can take.
