The phrase “laughter is the best medicine” refers to the notion that thinking positively and laughing will help you to feel better. That might mean feeling better about something that was making you upset. Or, as some studies have suggested, it might be the case that laughter and positive thinking can help people to heal from illnesses.
Laughter stimulates blood flow, reduces stress, relaxes tense muscles, distracts us from our symptoms, and helps with mental distress and physical illness. Now-a-days, many people take laughter therapy classes these days because of its latent benefits and ease of practice.
Laughter can give a new perspective on life. When you laugh more your health improves and keeps you stay positive in life. Positive thinking helps us to recover from physical illnesses and mental distress. It helps to resolve conflict.
Laughter pushes away depression. Laughter can be said to be a kind of anti-depressant that relieves you from stress and anxiety, uplift your mood and gives you a lasting feeling of happiness. Also, a hearty laughter enhances mindfulness, and is a natural way of overcoming the feeling of anger.
One of the key things that people often ask about this idea is whether it is scientifically proven that laughter can improve our health and our mental and physical well-being.
Well, in fact, several studies have shown that the act of smiling can make your mood improve. A fun fact about this principle is that in some companies in South Korea, workers are asked to gather together at the start of the working day and laugh together. This laughter may be described as ‘forced laughter’, however bosses and employees maintain that it creates a sense of unity and also lifts workers’ moods and makes them more productive during the rest of the working day
