In our culture, we spend an enormous amount of money on doctors, medicine and medical treatment. It’s too bad that many of us haven’t grasped the truth set forth throughout the ages: laughter is the best medicine. If you don’t believe it, treat yourself to a belly-deep, robust laugh and watch how much better you feel. That’s what motivates the members on the video above.
Laughter is more than just a mood enhancer. It actually has health benefits. It can reduce stress, strenthen the immune system, improve your memory and increase your intellectual performance.
Dr. Bernie Siegel says “The simple truth is that happy people generally don’t get sick.”
Dr. Madan Kataria believes so much in the benefits of laughing that he started Laughter Yoga and Laughter Clubs. Dr. Kataria says that laughter is nature’s stressbuster. There are over 6,000 laughter clubs in 60 countries. To learn about his clubs and conferences, visit his website Laughter Yoga.
