Some Good Medicine
Laughter causes deep muscle relaxation.
Laughter reduces stress. In addition to our bodies physically relaxing, we may forget our troubles, even if only temporarily.
Laughter has health benefits. When we laugh, our blood pressure and pulse rates drop slightly, endorphins (chemicals that sup-press pain and help you to feel better) are released into our bodies, and T-cells (key fighters in our immune systems) increase.
Laughter is a universal language. Laughter is a unique human phenomenon that happens in every culture. It helps us to go beyond our cultural differences by emphasizing what we have in common.
Laughter promotes creativity and is conducive to learning. Chances are good that students will learn more from teachers who use laughter and humor, people who are able to laugh at themselves. Laughter breaks up the routine and can illustrate points. It also helps us to see life from a different perspective.
Laughter promotes communication. Laughter connects, bonds, and builds rapport.
Laughter is an expression of action. It's a way to love people by helping them to smile, laugh, experience a sense of connectedness, and feel better about themselves and about life.
Laughing with you and (groaning)
