I believe in it, yes. Just yesterday I was feeling really very low when I came home from work. I watched the tube and fortunately got Two Men and a half which gave me a good laugh. That somehow lifted my mood up and even when I had to confront the problem I faced during the day, it wasn't as bad as it was. Laughter really helps.

Research shows that the health benefits of laughter reanging from strengthening the immune system to reducing food cravings to increasing one's threshold for pain. There's even an emerging therapeutic field known as humor therapy to help people heal more quickly, among other things. Humor also has several important stress relieving benefits. How? I will list down the Stress management benefit of laughter by Elizabeth Scott M.S. 1. Hormones - Laughter reduces the level of stress hormones like cortisol, epinephrine(adrenaline), dopamine and growth hormone. It also increases the level of health-enhancing hormones like endorphins and neurotransmitters. It increases the number of antibody-producing cells and enhances the effectiveness of T cells. All this means a stronger immune system, as well as fewer physical effects of stress. 2. Physical release - Laughter provides a physical and emotional release. 3. Internal workout - laughter exercises the diaphragm, contracts the abs and works out the shoulders, leaving muscles more relaxed. It also provide a good work out for the heart. 4. Distraction - it brings focus away from anger, guilt, stress and negative emotions. 5. Perspective - Humor can give us more lighthearted perspective and helps us vieew events as challenges thereby making them less threatening and more positive. 6. Social Benefits - Laughter is contagious so if you bring more laugther into your life, you can most likely help others around you to laugh more and realize these benefits as well.

Hi, I believe when there is a laughter,it means there is a happiness. When you feel sad,of course, you won't feel to laugh at all,Only when you feel happy,then you will have the mood to laugh out. When you feel happy,then your face will show smiling and laughing reaction. Whenever I feel down and sad, I can't laugh out...I am just not in the mood of doing it and my face sure will looks moody. Sometimes, when I am playing with my son and I saw his smiles and laughter,it really melt my heart and HE is always my sunshine. My son's laughter is the best medicine to cure my sadness.

I think laughter is the best medicine. It can get you through some difficult times in your life. If we can laugh, it can help the healing to begin.

Yes, maybe. I ever heard about this therapy. However, I am not sure about it. Whether it is really work or not. I never experienced or heard testimony about laugh remedy the pain. But I do believe that laughing will make us relax. This is good for our brain. Laughing release our brain from stressing. So, for people who have depression, laughing is the alternative medicine to remedy the pain.

I would definitely say that laughter is the best medicine. When we laugh or anticipating them provoke our bodies to produce chemicals called endorphins which are natural stress-busters and are good antibodies.

It's just temporary, as the quote said. So why choose the temporary than permanent. We believe if we give our self to GOD, believe that all that happened to us is HIS permission and and we sincere to accept it then the peace of our heart will come

Hi aaron, it definitely is ...But it should be coming from within oneself .With some effort we can make our lives less complicated and stress free.If we are a philosophical about our losses I guess it is possible to laugh and that would relieve stress...I agree with the quote...

I smile all the time and i'm a bit happy, but also sick and nerve :) I think the best medicine for us is to have one rest day every week. Day only for yourself. When you can relax, have fun, do what you want to do :) That's the thing, for me, what relax me and make me feel good, forgetting all my problems :) Cleaning my mind, resting me so much, that the next day i feel reborn. I think that's the best medicine for us - the way we fight with the pressure. :)
