The best moments often have an element of fun, joy and laughter with our loved ones. Laughter is the best medicine and nothing beats it. Whether in a bad mood or not feeling good about ourselves, sharing a little laughter with our loved ones can set our day right. Laughter is also great for the mind and body.
International Joke Day is celebrated every year on July 1. The day focuses on the importance of sharing jokes, laughing and locking happy moments in the treasure chest of our minds. As we gear up to celebrate this special day filled with fun and jokes, here are some ways in which laughter can benefit us.
International Joke Day 2024: Laugh out loud, for these benefits:
Stimulate the organs:
When we laugh, it helps in taking in oxygenated air, which stimulates the heart, lungs, and muscles. It also helps in the release of endorphins which help in improving the mood.
Relieving the stress response:
When we feel stressed and anxious, laughter can calm down and attenuate the stress response, then regulate heart rate and blood pressure. This makes us feel relaxed.
Calm down the stress:
Laughing and joking with your loved ones promotes blood circulation and relaxes muscles. This helps reduce the physical symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety.
Boost immunity:
When we are filled with negative thoughts, it can affect the body by making it more stressed and lowering immunity. However, laughing induces positive thoughts, which further releases neuropeptides that can help fight stress and boost immunity.
Relieve pain:
Laughing helps release natural painkillers produced in the body. This can help relieve stress.
