Recent studies have found that children laugh an average
of 400 times a day, while adults laugh an average of only 15 times a
day.
Some doctors believe that those 385 missing chuckles
and giggles could help us lead healthier lives.
Doctors have found that laughter leads to relaxation,
reduction of stress, and improves muscle tone and circulation. Twenty
seconds of guffawing is the aerobic equivalent of five minutes of hard
rowing. Laughter also increases sensory perceptives and allows you to
perform tasks better.
We obviously have to take laughter a lot more seriously!
When we share joyous times and moments of good humor
with our loved ones, we are doing things that are good for us in more
ways than one.
