Laughter is good for the heart and soul. Whether ill, or just needing a good laugh, it is said laughter heals. Regardless of work environment, taking to time out to read an online humor magazine like "The Onion, " or others during breaks, lunch hours, or before and after work can often be a blessing to health and happiness.
Scientific research has shown how and why laughter can benefit the daily life of individuals. First, it is a natural response though while not as important as breathing or pumping blood which are also automatic bodily responses, is as important as shedding tears or scratching. Laughter is only better because it makes you feel better even after the laughter subsides.
A new question related to healing through laughter has now emerged. One question being whether a laugh therapist is warranted to make people laugh. Other questions have also arisen in relation to the health insurance plans and whether office visits in which laughter is prescribed are covered.
Anatomy of Illness by Norman Cousins explores the benefits of laughter. Some claims in his book have since been proven. One being that laughter has the power and ability to relieve pain. The book is a good example of how laughter can help through coping, controlling and connecting with others through laughter.
Mr. Cousins found that when he watched the Marx Brothers, Candid Camera and other funny shows that it helped the pain of a debilitating spinal disease. He once claimed that only ten minutes of televised humor helped him sleep without pain for two hours or more at a time. When he would try to sleep without having read or watched humorous material and laughing, he could rarely sleep for more than a few minutes before the pain returned, if he could get to sleep at all.
While there are critics, others claim there is enough proof to back up the research. Some doctors now recommend getting fifteen minutes per day. When combining the laughter with a healthy diet and regular exercise, better health is often just around the corner.
There are several ways in which laughter helps the body. These include producing the natural feel good endorphin which can help individuals, relax, reduce stress and sleep. It has since been proven that the natural high that comes from a regular running regimen can also be experienced through laughter.
Humor can be found in a number of formats from periodicals to television, from comic strips to websites. Watching funny television shows, movies, stand up comedians, sit-coms or just watching others in a funny situation can often make people laugh. Websites which promote humor and other forms of humor can often provide a brief period of laughter. Whether reading, watching or writing humorous material, it is always good to do so in a work-safe environment.
