It is cheap medicine.\u201d Laughter not only heals us but also helps people around us. Laughing at least once daily will make you feel happier and can fill you with energy and excitement. Moreover, laughing or even passing a smile to any stranger or friend around us can make their day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Welcome to the <\/span><b>Activ Living Podcast<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In this podcast, Dr. Aditi Govitrikar reminds you about the importance of keeping it light. Dr. Aditi Govitrikar offers a <\/span>beginner\u2019s guide<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to laughter therapy, which you may have seen by watching laughing groups in parks. Our body cannot differentiate between spontaneous and stimulated laughter. Through this episode, you will learn how to laugh your heart out as a method to lead a healthy life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"How-does-laughter-improve-overall-well-being?\">How does laughter improve well-being?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70452 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laughter-is-the-best-medicine.jpg\" alt=\"Laughter is the best medicine_Activ Living Community\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laughter therapy is a unique form of workout. Research says that even 10 to 15 minutes of laughing a day can burn up to 40 calories. It also improves your mood by releasing happy hormones, such as dopamine and endorphins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><strong id=\"7-reasons-why-laughter-is-the-best-medicine\">Why is laughter the best medicine?\u00a0<\/strong><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are seven reasons that confirm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2021\/07\/07\/why-laughter-is-your-best-medicine-to-relieve-stress\/\"><strong>laughter is the best medicine<\/strong><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Laughter and its impact on physical health<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only can a hearty laugh relax our muscles for over half an hour, but it also plays a crucial role in alleviating physical tension. Introducing more laughter into your daily routine can elevate the count of immune cells and antibodies, making you more resistant to illnesses. Additionally, laughing promotes the intake of oxygen-rich air, increasing blood flow, which protects against cardiovascular issues like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2023\/09\/25\/symptoms-of-heart-attack-in-women\/\"><strong>heart attacks<\/strong><\/a> and strokes. Embrace the joy of laughter; it&#8217;s an excellent workout for your heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Laughter for stress relief<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you laugh wholeheartedly, it releases endorphins or happy hormones, relieving your body of cortisol, the stress hormone, and tension. Laughing can boost your mood and lessen the chances of chronic depression and anxiety. Try imbibing laughter into your everyday behavior to defuse stressful situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Laughter for boosting your immune system\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your body has the ability to ward off common diseases with a healthy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2020\/07\/02\/immune-boosting-yoga-session\/\"><strong>immune system<\/strong><\/a>. Laughter boosts your immunity and keeps you from falling sick on a daily basis. Negative thoughts can adversely impact your immune system. Positive thoughts release neuropeptides that can help you cope with serious illnesses. Laughing also releases anti-infection antibodies that protect your body from infections.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Laughter can help burn calories<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This might be surprising, but laughing helps in the burning of calories. It is a fact that approximately 40 calories are burnt in a day on 10 to 15 minutes of laughing. But, it is no replacement for exercise; a balanced amount of everything can help you lead a healthy life.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Laughter for cardiovascular health<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laughter increases blood flow, improves the function of blood vessels, and kicks up your heart rate, keeping your heart healthy. It also decreases arterial wall stiffness, which protects you from cardiovascular complications. So, laugh your heart out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Laughter for mental health<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By seeking out more opportunities for laughter, you can improve your emotional health, strengthen your relationships, find greater happiness and even add years to your life. With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource to overcome problems, enhance your relationships, and support both physical and emotional health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Laughter therapy<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70451 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laughter-Therapy.jpg\" alt=\"Laughter Therapy_Activ Living Community\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laughter therapy is a form of intentional laughter that eventually turns into real laughter. Some exercises to start at home include gradient laughter &#8211; fake a smile, giggle, laugh slowly, and gradually increase the tempo to hearty laughter while raising and lowering your hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laughter is quite often only a reaction to something funny. However, sometimes it is a cultivated feeling that hinges on the environment, people, and memories. It\u2019s possible to create an environment that is conducive to laughter and subsequently improve your heart health. Here are three easy ways to do so:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"key-takeaway__content-wrap\">\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"key-takeaway__sub-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n<div class=\"key-takeaway__content\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research shows that just 10 to 15 minutes of laughter a day can help burn up to 40 calories.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laughter not only helps relieve stress but also boosts your immune system and burns calories.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To start exercising at home, you can try a laughter exercise called gradient laughter.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay tuned to the Activ Living Community.
