A September Science News Today article reports the many benefits of laughter. "It reduces stress hormones, strengthens the immune system, eases pain, and even protects the heart." 1
A recent article by Albert Stumm published by Associated Press2, provides some history on the subject as well as advice from some practitioners of the "sport." "Dr. Madan Kataria, a physician in Mumbai, ... said the trick is to learn to laugh for no reason. He and others in laughing yoga classes around the world have created hundreds of exercises that help."
I've recently started watching reruns of The Office3, which "airs" for hours on E! and Comedy Central. I haven't laughed out loud so much in a long time.
It should be obvious by now that this blog post won't make you laugh.
What makes you laugh?
