Laughter really may be the best medicine, according to research presented to the American College of Cardiology. Laughing appears to boost your blood flow and researchers say it may reduce your risk of developing heart disease.1
But the benefits of laughing don't stop with your heart: laughing has previously been found to help fight infections, relieve hay fever, ease pain and help control diabetes.
The researchers found that laughing increased blood flow by more than 20 percent - a similar effect to that of aerobic activity.1 The positive effect of laughing lasted for 30-45 minutes.
In contrast, stress decreased the flow by about 35 percent.1
Almost everyone seems to benefit from having a good laugh:1
* 95 percent of the volunteers in the study (19 out of 20) had better blood flow after watching a comedy movie clip
* 70 percent (14 out of 20) had a worse blood flow after watching a stressful film sequence
The benefits of laughing lie in its effect on the inner lining (endothelium) of the walls of your arteries. The endothelium plays a vital role in maintaining blood flow by regulating the diameter of the blood vessels.1
Damage to the endothelium is one of the factors involved in cardiovascular disease.1
Laughing seems to make the endothelium expand; stress seems to narrow it.1 So laughing helps keep your artery walls fit and well, helping to maintain good blood flow.
