The fact that negative emotions are expressed more often, or worse, hide inside. Meanwhile, ordinary laughter from the heart can save a person from some problems, as well as problems related to health. Before the burst of merry, sincere laughter, depression will not stand, and the world will become surprisingly interesting, rather than hostile and dull.
Children laugh more often, because they are not afraid to spoil their reputation or respectability with a cheerful and unrestrained laughter. It was even considered that a child at six months of age, if he is healthy, smiles and laughs at least 300 times a day.
And how many times do adults laugh? Unfortunately, the majority, responds approximately with the following phrase: "and what to rejoice? ". According to psychologists, this is socially conditioned and artificially created excessive importance. This behavior of problems does not solve, the problems become even greater, as similar attracts like.
Therapeutic properties of laughter
Laughter is useful to everyone, since it has many healing properties. Laughter makes, even when we are far from having fun, feel better. Laughter helps to reduce the number of stress hormones and stress, strengthen the immune system, and develop more pain relievers.
Scientists abroad, using the latest research methods have proved that in the process of laughter, the brain and nervous system receive impulses that have a beneficial effect on their work. In addition, laughter has a positive impact on human health in general. It is proved that people who get angry less often and laugh more often do not know about depression at all, and they are much less sick.
Than useful laughter
As early as 2000 years ago, Hippocrates noted that a cheerful and lively conversation over dinner improves digestion. Practically this is so, because when we laugh heartily, the muscles of the abdominal press tighten, and this in turn tightens the muscles of the smooth muscles of our intestines, while helping it to remove toxins and toxins. Thus, laughter can be called a kind of gymnastics for the intestines, and it is not necessary to laugh at the time of eating.
Endorphins are hormones of joy, relieving us of irritation and sadness, freeing laughter.
Before a sincere gay laughter, colds and infections recede, as laughter induces antibodies to be developed, and they in turn protect the body from bacteria and viruses. In addition, laughter contributes to an increase in the number of leukocytes, and they are fighting with various inflammations, and even diseases of an oncological nature.
The Effect of Laughter on Perception
Australian scientists have made an amazing discovery - laughter can change our perception of the world around for the better. Laughter, acting on visual perception, allows us to look at things with both hemispheres, and they are perceived as they are. In the ordinary state, everything happens differently - the eyes send a "picture" to different hemispheres, and although the brain is able to switch quickly, nevertheless, surrounding things and phenomena are not perceived by us quite correctly. There is even such an expression of laughter, maybe even, and you heard it: "my eyes opened."
Laughter protects, prevents illnesses
Cardiologists from America, during the examination of two groups of people, came to the conclusion that laughter, contributing to the normalization of blood pressure, can protect our heart, helping to reduce the risk of seizures in various diseases. The first group of people was practically healthy people. In the second group there were cores. During the survey it became known that half of the cores during the life lived laughed less often than healthy people of the same age category.
And although scientists can not fully explain how laughter prevents the occurrence of diseases, but one thing they explained: because of the neuro-mental strain, the protective barriers of the blood vessels are damaged, and this causes the formation of cholesterol deposits, the accumulation of fat, inflammation. And as a result, the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, the increase in heart attacks. Hence, it turns out that, removing the mental strain, laughter, thus, prevents the occurrence of diseases. Consequently, laughter, a smile, a positive outlook on life can be considered a healthy way of life
Scientists in this field in the course of research have repeatedly proved the benefits of the influence of laughter on health. Let's take an example, while watching a comedy or a melodrama, the circulation circulates in different ways, if a person looks at the melodrama, the blood circulation is slower, and if the comedy looks the blood circulation is normal. Diabetics who observe the same diet, after watching comedies, there was a decrease in blood sugar levels. And if patients were allowed to listen to not interesting information, then there were no improvements.
Norman Kazins known scientist from America, suffering from a complex disease of the spine, laughter even eased the pain. He realized that from viewing funny episodes of comedies he was getting better, and he could, without taking medication, go to sleep. After this observation, he included the therapy in the treatment of patients with similar diseases. And after that he created a group that will study the therapeutic effects of laughter.
