Perhaps you might have heard it said, laughter is good medicine.
This is not just a saying; it is also a proven scientific fact.
Laughter has been known to trigger physical and emotional healthy changes in your body.
Like strengthening your immune system, increasing the flow of blood through your veins and arteries, helping to burn calories, boosting your mood, and helping diminish pain.
Nothing is said to work faster and more dependently than a good laugh.
Let’s give it a try.

Possibly? Maybe? Well, you get the idea.
Laughter can lighten your burdens, inspire you with hope, fill you with joy, connect you with others, release penned up anger, and even add years to your life.
All this from Laughter. Best of all it is fun, free, and easy to use.
As children we probably laughed a lot more than we do now. We need to tap into our inner fun, free, silly, child. Not the crazy one.
The more we can laugh, the healthier we will be.
Laughter also decreases stress hormones and increases infection fighting antibodies.
Along with its many medical advantages, laughter also gives respite from sadness and pain, by providing courage and strength to continue to move forward.

As we begin to incorporate more humor and laughter in our lives, we will experience first-hand its many benefits.
Let me warn you though, laughter is contagious. Catch it, feel it, and pass it on!
The more we laugh, the less strains of stress we will feel.
So, read/listen to/watch something funny, call a friend that makes you laugh, or get tickled by a loved one. Whatever works for you.
Live, Love, and Laugh your way to a healthier YOU.
This is a Thompson Truth.
