(三任务型阅读Do you know that according to research,children laugh about 400 times a day while adults only laugh about 15 times a day? Somehow we lose the ability to laugh as we get older. Why does this happen and could it be that putting more humor and laughter into our day could improve our health?
Experts have carried out research on the health benefits of laughter. They found that it produces a reaction in the immune (免疫) system which encourages beneficial cell growth and controls damaging cell growth. They found that it also causes a reduction in stress hormones (荷尔蒙).
It is reported that hearty(尽情的)laughter can burn calories equal to several minutes on the rowing machine or an exercise bike. Another study showed that laughing encourages brain activity which improves learning. Also it creates a feeling of happiness.
Besides the health benefits of laughter,it is great in social situations to create a sense of belonging and fun among people who may or may not know each other very well. We may use laughter as a way of creating a closer relationship or taking the stress out of a nervous situation.
Perhaps surprisingly,other research has shown that all of the beneficial effects are present even when you force yourself to laugh when you are feeling terrible. So it is worth keeping humor and laughter however bad you feel. How can you become more positive and in the mood for fun if you are feeling upset?
