問題詳情：

    Laughter is a key component of a happy life, and it has powerful physical and mental benefits. No matter what you’re facing, you can learn to laugh and benefit from it.

One of the many benefits of laughter and a sense of humor is that they protect you against the negatives of life. Researches show that people who use humor to fight stress feel less lonely and more positive about themselves.

Although we can’t say that a certain number of laughs every day will keep the doctor away, studies show that people who laugh a lot tend to be in good health. And laughter is one of the most commonly used therapies (療法) among cancer patients.

Laughter could be healthy for your heart, too. Some research shows that when you laugh, there is an increase in oxygen-rich blood flow in your body, possibly due to the release of endorphins (內啡肽), which create a chemical rush that fights negative feelings and stress. Activities that increase endorphins include a good workout and listening to music you love.

Love the benefits of laughter but don’t feel like laughing? Sometimes you have to make an effort to laugh. If you’re facing tough times, it may help to learn techniques to bring the benefits of laughter into your life. You can try the old recommendations:

Read a funny book, or watch a movie that is funny.

Spend time with an amusing friend.

Look on the light side: Go to places that help you remember good times that have made you laugh in the past.

Or you can join the “laughter movement” to learn about the benefits of laughter while fighting stress.
