The phrase “laughter is the best medicine,” has been in common use for centuries, with origins dating back to a Bible verse: “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.”
Admittedly, laughter was never used in the Bible to cure anyone, but new evidence suggests this may be more than a proverb, as explained in this new guide from Newsmax Health.
New research showcased in the guide has shown the positive effects of laughter on our brains, and several key ways it can help to improve your overall health.
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, laughter may even mimic the effects of exercise, and provide benefits that are similar to a workout.
The guide also explores research from a recent study by Vanderbilt University, which found that laughing can burn a significant amount of calories.
“Laughter activates the release of serotonin, the key hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness,” said Dr. David Friedman
Dr. David Friedman is a doctor of chiropractic and naturopathy, and bestselling author of the new book Funny Bones – True Tales From A Chiropractor That Will Crack You Up.
