Don't View This Video Unless You Want to Laugh


(Watch This Video -- 1 minute 30 seconds)

Laughing is a vital tool for your health, so take this opportunity right now to enjoy a good belly laugh. I guarantee you; these videos of laughing babies will definitely put a smile on your face!

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:

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

According to some anthropologists, laughter creates bonding within a group, which may explain why you are 30 times more likely to laugh when other people are present, and why laughter is often contagious. So… go ahead… share these videos with others, spread the laughter, and strengthen your bonds of friendship at the same time!

Joyful babies laughing may be the closest thing we have to "the meaning of life".

I love the kid laughing at something as simple as ripping paper. Think of all the money they saved on toys! I got a good chuckle out of the video as did my work cubbie roomate as I shared it with her. The dad was obviously enjoying himself as well. A+ video.

I have a 20month old grandson and a 6 month old granddaughter.  You'd better believe their laughing puts a smile on my face and brightens up my entire day.

Laughter is good for the soul plus a way of building up the immune system, if we laughed as much as these children we would be a healthier nation

Soooooooooooooo cute!!  My little kids heard the laughing from the other room while I was watching these and.... in they ran!  You wouldn't believe that laughter I heard from them.  The youngest just turn 2.  So sweet.  Oh and I remember when my oldest boy was a baby, he did what the first baby here did everytime I used my ink stamper.  It was the funniest thing!

You are so right. It's so sad that we lose most or all of that ability to laugh at ourselves and other things as we grow older. When my son was about 6 months, he'd laugh histerically at a small ball that didn't squeak but just blew air out of the hole out at him. The world would be a much better place if we all laughed more.

Every Tuesday and Wednesday evening I make it a point to watch " Just for Laughs" It's a Canadian based show with no talking. The skits are self explanatory and aimed to elicit laughter for an hour each evening.

Enjoy your laughing baby now.  I hope you get 10X more enjoyment when he's 10 years old doing the same thing.
