Laugh out loud: It's World Laughter Day
Today is the World Laughter Day — a day solely devoted to bringing cheer to an otherwise mundane day-to-day life.
World Laughter Day was first observed in Mumbai back in January 1998, it was started by Dr Madan Kataria, the founder of the worldwide Laughter Yoga Movement.
The day is now widely celebrated across the world and laughing clubs across the country are marking this day with laughter and fun.
Besides putting you in a good mood, laughter has many health advantages:
It heals your immune system, dulls your pain, improves your memory, lowers blood pressure, and performs other wondrous feats.
The sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze.
A good hearty laugh can help reduce stress, elevate mood, relax the body and reduce problems associated with high blood pressure, strokes, arthritis, and ulcers.
It is estimated that hearty laughter can burn calories equivalent to several minutes on the rowing machine or the exercise bike.
With beneficial features one definitely would want to laugh their way to good health.
