How often do you laugh? I recently read a couple of reports which stated people laugh between 15 and 17 times each day. Are you getting in your 15 laughs per day? If not you may need to find some comic relief in your life.
Laughter can:
1. Lower your blood pressure
2. Increase vascular blood flow and oxygenation of blood
3. Give a work out to the diaphragm, face and other muscles
4. Reduce stress hormones
5. Increase the response of tumor and disease killing cells
6. Defend against respiratory infections
7. Increase memory and learning
8. Improve alertness, creativity and memory
As Ecclesiastes 3:4 says, "There is a time to laugh." Are you making time and opportunity to do so in your life? Stop taking yourself and everything around you so seriously! Take some time to laugh and allow yourself the God given stress relief each of us needs!
James
