Good Morning: Laughter really is the best medicine. Look around you at the children in your life. Most are happy and for the most part in good health. Did you know that children reportedly laugh 300 to 400 times a day while we adults laugh only a mere 15 times a day?
Believe it or not, experts say that laughing aids indigestion, lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, increases muscle flexion, boosts the immune system, triggers the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers, heals broken relationships, and produces a general sense of well-being.
I heard of an instance when a man was in the hospital very ill. His wife loaded up on some very funny videos, brought them to the hospital, and together they watched and laughed and laughed. Incredibly, the man began to heal faster than his doctors expected. Proverbs 17:22 says: “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.”
So, if you are feeling down today, find something to laugh about. Plus, if you are happy, it makes those around you happy, too. Have a laughter filled day!
