LET’S LAUGH





LET’S LAUGH


We have all heard the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine”.  This is the day to take your medicine.Some studies have shown that laughter may boost your immune system, relieve tension and help you relax.  Who does not need any of those things in our busy and hectic world?As we all know, laughter can also be contagious.  Even faking it seems to have some benefits.  Classes called “laughter yoga” engage the abdominal muscles, lungs, arms and facial muscles while using humor to get us laughing to cure what ails us.When you and a friend have those long bouts of uncontrolled laughter that end in tears and aching stomach muscles that last a good 10 minutes or longer, you burn between 10-40 calories per 10 minutes.  So, keep giving each other those don’t-look-at-me-or-I’ll-start-laughing-again looks and you’ll keep right on burning more laugh-healthy calories and you’ll enjoy a good memory, too!     
 HOW TO OBSE
 Add a laughing baby ringtone to your phone.  Use humor to make someone’s day. Take some time to laugh and use #Let’sLaughDay to post on social media
