The Benefits of Laughter

December 2, 2014 By Panacea de la Montaña 2 Comments

 

2014-07-06 11.15.18We all know the benefits of doing yoga, and doing yoga in Costa Rica every morning is just fantastic.  I want to talk about another way to stay healthy and have fun.  Do you know the benefits of laughter? Here are some of them.

 

  • Laughing lowers blood pressure.
  • Reduces stress hormone levels; reduction of stress hormones in your body can result in higher immune system performance.
  • It is a fun ab workout; the muscles in your stomach expand and contract when you laugh similar to when you do your ab work out.
  • Improves cardiac health; so, if you don’t get a lot of physical activity spend some time laughing every day.
  • Boosts T cells; T cells are specialized immune system cells just waiting in your body for activation.
  • Triggers the release of endorphins; these are the body’s natural pain killers.
  • Produces a general sense of wellbeing; if you feel good everything is better!

I hope when you have been at our yoga retreat in Costa Rica I have helped to make you laugh.  I like to see people happy.  We all know Mary’s yoga classes are the best yoga in Costa Rica.  I hope that you have also received your daily dose of laughter while you have been at Panacea.

I know you are all keeping up what you learned while at Panacea.  Now add to that your daily dose of healthy laughter.

    Today I’ve been thinking about a vaertiy of things, among them you, and I sought to see if maybe you were still writing. And here you are. I’ve really enjoyed so far what I’ve read on here. (Notably Cactus versus Plumeria, especially this line: Her ears fluttered with waves and wind and wild.)Anyways, down to business. Responding to Mr. Jancik, you asked: [W]hat keeps people from pursuing their dreams fully?My response to your question is a question too: Are all dreams worth pursuing? I suppose at the heart of the question is this: Are all dreams worth dreaming?I look forward to your answer.
