Antidepressant Effects Of Laughter &
Proven Health Benefits Of Comedy |
Expert Guide
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
