The more we laugh for no reason, the more we will have the ability to fight for any disease can attack our body. Kataria claimed, “Patients with multiple sclerosis who laughed regularly,” “had a lot of improvement,” “Asthma patients-- they have benefits.” (84). We can improve our immunity by laughing. We just need to give ourselves chance to practice laughter yoga. And we are going to get better. Sometimes, I laugh without no reason, and when I stop laughing I feel relief, and in good mood. So, what about people who have diseases and there is a little hopes to survive? There is no doubt that 100% from these people will get benefit from laughing. I have an example for that. I have an interview with my cousin who used to has a cancer in his blood (Leukemia). Whenever I see him, he always laughing even that he knows he can die at any time, but he still laughing. there is always smile in his face. Sometimes I see him laughing for no reason, and I never ask him why he laughing. He used to takes a chemotherapy, and we all know how painful this medication. Anyway, after he finished taking his medication, he started to feels better. After he became in good health, I asked him why he was laughing for no reason. He answered me:“Because I know that I can die at anytime, but at the same time when I feel depressed, I start to laugh then my mood change suddenly.” This was a great example how laughing can improve our health and makes us feel better.
Laughing can change our mood. It can change from negative mood to positive mood. When we have any problem in our lives, we feel depressed. By laughing our mood will change from negative to positive because laughing is fun. In 2002, Charles Schaefer, a psychologist at Fairleigh Dickinson University, studied how forced laughter affected the state of mind of students. He noted that “adults who act happy for a minute a day are likely to elevate their mood.” (81). We can have a fake laugh for just to feel good. That will helps us to change our mood to positive. Most people are moody, they always up and down from good mood to bad mood. So, by laughing we forget that which mood we were have before we laughed. It is very beneficial to our health and helps us to be happy most of the times.
Laughing can decrease our pressure and stress.We always have a pressure in our life, especially at work, home, and school. We need something to relief this pressure and stress. Laughing is the key because when we laugh, we feel much better and that helps us to be happier and healthier at the same time. As Reggie wells said: “A stress lifted from my soul.” “It lifted from my body.” (78). That shows us by laughing we relief our stress and pressure because laughing makes our body feel happy. Laughing is playing an important role in our body. In our life we need to laugh because a lots of peoblems can happen from stress and pressure. So, it is very easy, just laugh even if a fake laugh still helps.
In addition, in 2002, Charles Schaefer, a psychologist at Fairleigh Dickinson University, studied how forced laughter affected the state of mind of students. He noted that "adults who act happy (broad smile; hearty laugh) for a minute a day are likely to elevate their mood." (81). Laughing is really affects our mind, even if we laugh a minute a day still can change our mood from negative to positive. We can't control our mind, but by laughing everyday, even there is no reason to laugh, that will helps us to be healthier and at the the time happier.
In conclusion, happiness is related with health, and laughing is very important to by in good health. We only need just to pretend that we laugh or fake laugh. It will helps us to be in good health and get rude of our stress and pressure from life. And protect us from any disease can attack our body.
