Remember the Laughter blog post?
Is laughter really good for you? Some respectable sources claim it is. You know, the ones that say laughing is good for: Your heart. The immune system. Burning Calories. Diffusing anger. A longer life. But is it true? Can laughing make you feel good about life? Well, I put it to the test. Just like they do in the science laboratory. Yes, I conducted my own Laughter Lab. Here’s what I did. During the COVID season, a bunch of guys from church have been meeting together, virtually on Zoom, each week. This past week, it was my turn to organise the evening. So I chose to run the Laughter Lab. “Go on, David! What did you do?” Glad you asked… First, I created three short teaser videos to create a bit of anticipation, and shared them in the WhatsApp group. And I asked everyone to bring along: A few jokes (clean, of course! LOL!). A funny real-life story. The night of the Laughter Lab experiment finally arrived. And we began with a poll. Well, every good lab needs a good poll, doesn’t it? I asked everyone to decide how they felt about life right now, on a score between 1 and 20, taking into account many factors that could influence it, such as: Today at work. New COVID regulations. Stress. What’s on the news. And then we started with the jokes. And the funny stories. We shared joke after joke. And funny stories. And we laughed for an hour! Yes, an hour. The time flew by. But then came the scary part. Would my experiment work? I hadn’t told anyone what the next question was. But it was pretty obvious… How do you feel about life now? I asked the guys to once again rate how they felt about life with a score between 1 and 20. What was the result? Amazingly, everyone said their score had increased. Some by a little. Others significantly. All the men felt better. Just by laughing. According to the HelpGuide website, laughter is the best medicine. They claim that laughter… Relaxes the whole body. Boosts the immune system. Triggers the release of endorphins. Protects the heart. Burns calories. Displaces anger. Might even help you live longer. The Ask The Scientists website agrees. They say that laughter… Is good for your heart. Supports your immunity. Relaxes blood pressure. Helps memory. Can increase antibodies. It’s pretty obvious that a good laugh will help you feel good mentally. And I think our Laughter Lab experiment proved that. After all, you can’t be angry, sad or anxious when you’re laughing. Did you know that’s a Bible quotation? For the men’s group where I did the Laughter Lab, I made this video – to show how the Bible makes a big thing about having a cheerful disposition – and how that affects the whole body. So there you go. God says laughter is good for you. Medicine agrees with Him. Science backs it up with evidence. What more do you need? Let’s become healthier. Let’s laugh!
