Improve Your Health Through Laughter!
The International Moment of Laughter Day is happening on April 14th and we want to celebrate it on SingSnap! Laughter is one of the most genuine, sincere emotions a person can express and it actually improves your health. Read below to discover some not-so-obvious benefits to unleashing a massive belly laugh!
1. Reduces Stress: : Stress can do terrible things to your mind and body. Letting those giggles take over, can help reduce stress by decreasing the levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, and dopamine in the body.
2. Boosts Immunity Did you know laughing fights off diseases? Laughter can also boost the immune system by increasing the production of antibodies and activating T-cells that help fight off infections. Prevention is one of the most vital things you can do for your health!
3. Improves Mood: This is the most obvious one but laughing, especially when you don't want to, triggers the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural feel-good chemicals, leading to an improved mood and a sense of well-being. Even during your darkest times, a little laughter can instantly improve how you're feeling.
4. Relieves Pain: If you suffer from chronic pain, laughter could really be an incredible medicine for you! Laughter has been shown to reduce pain perception by increasing the body's pain threshold and releasing natural painkillers. There's nothing like the relief you receive from filling your body with fresh oxygen from a big laugh fest!
5. Lowers Blood Pressure: It's true, Snappers! Laughter can lower blood pressure by reducing stress and improving blood flow. The more your muscles work, the better your blood will flow!
6. Increases Resilience: And lastly, laughter can help people cope with difficult situations and increase resilience by providing a positive outlook and emotional strength. It provides an overall feeling of lightness and hope!
SingSnap has a proven track record of bringing joy and happiness into people's lives. Through music, the friendships, the activities - we are always looking for ways to bring a little love, happiness and laughter into your days!
