A Medical Joke that Made Me Laugh Out Loud

Posted by: Dr. Mercola

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

Laughter is, indeed, a key ingredient to optimal health, and I know of no good reason not to try and make sure you laugh as often as possible, everyday.

If you're not convinced, there is plenty of research to back up my advice:

Laughter increases blood flow as much as exercise does.
A happy disposition can lengthen your lifespan, regardless of age, weight or smoking habits.
Laughter helps diabetics process blood sugar better.

Why laughter is so good for you is not fully understood, but who cares? It's fun. It's easy. And, it works.

Please see the links below for more opportunities to improve your health through laughter.
