Giggling Your Heart Away: The Good Aspects Concerning Frivolity

By Fergie Bishop

I bet you're familiar with LOL (Laughing Out Loud) and LMAO (Laughing My A** Out) and that you use them a lot in your chat conversations. But do you know that LOL and LMAO are not only good expressions you can use when chatting over the internet? An actual laughter can bring your health more good than you already know.

Every time you laugh, you cause your body to go to a state of relaxation. It's just the reverse of not laughing or smiling at all. When you're cranky all the time, you get bored of life and get tired easily, but when you begin to laugh, everything seems to fall into perspective. That is because laughter helps you get rid of stress and anxiety!

An amazing thing about laughter is that it gives us a lot of benefits without us being conscious of it. You probably don't know that when people laugh their body releases what we call T-cells. These are actually lymphocytes from the white blood cell group that act as soldiers because they fight certain tumor cells and other disease-causing cells. T-cells also strengthen the body's immune system by preparing it for past infections that might occur once again.

Laughing hard can also make your body release endorphins, the body's natural pain killers that are attached to the brain. Endorphins are also released when performing strenuous physical activities like exercise, and laughter being a form of exercise so to speak, also has the same result.

Doctors aren't quite sure about the cause of this one but according to them a good amount of laughter each day can protect the human heart from various diseases. One explanation that they have is that laughter gets rid of stress that we all know can contribute in the hardening of arteries in the heart.

Aside from keeping your physically healthy, laughter can also keep your emotions and your state of mind intact. Oh, and it can also strengthen relationships too! In order for you to stay happy all the time, I suggest you start counting your blessings instead of your problems, smile all time and surround yourself with happy people all the days of your happy life!
