Laughing Your Way to Better Health?
|
Knock knock. Did you know laughing could be good for your health? According to a WebMD.com feature, we change physiologically when we laugh. We stretch muscles throughout our face and body, our pulse and blood pressure go up, and we breathe faster, sending more oxygen to our tissues.
While laughter might not be a cure all solution, and experts definitely are convinced about the health benefits of laughing, a little chuckle every now and then can't hurt. The Mayo Clinic suggests that at the least, laughing can help to reduce your stress level .
I asked my fellow writers to please tell me there top five movies that make them LOL- and here they are:

While health insurance providers don't ask how often you laugh before you purchase health insurance coverage, it's still a good idea to get a good laugh in every once in a while. What movies get you to chuckle?
