Spread The Laughter :D

"Humour is a contagious condition that's good for you to catch."

After reading this article "Spread The Laughter", I find that the content is very true. Now, I feel that Singaporeans these days are very tensed and stressed out about everything that goes on around them. School, work and family- there's nothing that they are not paranoid about. I agree that laughter reduces stress, improves memory and helps to keep our hearts healthy. The article also states that "the ability to laugh is hardwired into our systems, and new research shows that it is not only good for us, it is contagious. Personally, I like to laugh a lot. It would be hard to find one day when I'm not actually laughing and I feel that it really helps me in my life. It helps me to be a more cheerful person and also makes me less frustrated.

This article caught my eye as I am a very "smiley" person, I really love to laugh. I feel that we should all laugh more as the article enunciates that laughing scorch kilojoules, ease pain and even helps to stay healthy! I really feel that this is a very simple way of keep healthy and it does not require any effort at all. The reason why laughing is contagious is that when we see someone laugh, our brain seems to activate "mirror neutrons" that send us into the same fit of laughter as stated in the article I have chosen. Therefore, I feel that we should really put it into practice. As I've heard before, "Smiling/Laughing only requires 14 facial muscles while frowning requires 47. So, smile!" And in this way, we can also help others to stay healthy and relieve stress.

So everyone, Laugh and stay healthy! SPREAD THE LAUGHTER! :D

CHEERS, VENESSA :D (22)
