Laughter is Good Medicine

Proverbs 17:22 tells us A cheerful heart is good medicine.

Science backs that up… Laughter is good for your health. A good, hearty laugh relieves stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.

Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter can help prevent disease. Laughter increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack. We’ve talked about physical and mental health benefits, but there are also social benefits. If we enjoy a good laugh, it diffuses conflict and promotes teamwork and bonding.
