Health Benefits of Laughter
Laughter is the best medicine. That was the title of a section of the Reader’s Digest magazine for years. It was a regular section that had short stories about real people--showing the humor in life. But, more than just being a cute title for a magazine section, there was truth in that title. Laughter does have the power to heal. And it heals people with all kinds of illnesses--stress related illnesses--every single day! Am I being bold to say that the illnesses are caused by stress? Not at all. Doctors agree that up to 70% of all illness is caused by negative stress, or distress. And, luckily, if the illnesses are caused by stress, learning to relax can reverse and get rid of most of those stress related illnesses!
