HUMOR

Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases infection fighting antibodies.
It increases our attentiveness, heart rate and pulse.
LAUGHTER PROTECTS THE HEART…
Laughter, along with an active sense of humor, may help protect you against
a heart attack, according to the study at the University of Maryland Medical
Center.
LAUGHTER STIMULATES BRAIN FUNCTION…
Laughter stimulates both sides of the brain to enhance learning. It eases muscle
tension and psychological stress, which keeps the brain alert and allows people
to retain more information. Lacking humor will cause one’s thought processes
to stagnate leading to increased distress.
