1. Good to your heart.
Lowers your blood pressure while increasing the amount of oxygen carried in your blood.
2. Good to your lungs.
A deep belly laugh is like an internal workout helping you to breath more efficiently.
3. Good to your anxiety level.
Laughing lowers the levels of stress hormone cortisol, reducing tension.
Problems are around but don't forget to take time to laugh and be happy.

A good laugh is to our mental health as an exercise is for our body muscles. A comedy or an entertaining show can improve our functions and boost our system. The good thing is it doesn't have side effects so laugh your as* off cause it's great for your health!

Laughing makes life more happy but sometimes when you need to cry it is better to cry it out also or else you might suffer from depression yea.
