Have you ever been so upset that even your favorite song, food, or show can't even cheer you up? Of course you have, don't lie! But what happens to all that anger or sadness when someone makes a silly face at you or says something like, "panties are just pillowcases for butts." I'll tell you what happens! You laugh! And when you laugh, all that anger and sadness disintegrate. But why does laughter have this affect on people? Well first off, it lowers blood pressure and reduces stress hormone levels, making you happier. Also, it's a natural pain killer, so if you are physically or mentally in pain, laughing makes it better. But laughing doesn't just make you happier, it also makes you healthier! Laughing reduces heart disease, improves breathing, gives good sleep, helps with weight loss, improves immunity, enhances creativity and problem solving skills, helps treat depression ans anxiety, boosts memory, and even makes you look young. So in conclusion, laughter is the best medicine, but if you laugh for no reason you may need medicine. Even so, a day without laughter is a day wasted.
