OK, coming to the point. I'm going to share about something interesting, and thats's Humour.
It is something that makes you laugh and you usually feel happy, cheerful. There are types in it, good Humour, which brings out the positive and a jolly atmosphere and bad Humour, which usually creates a dismal weather.
Humour partly relates to laughter and you should have known that it reduces our stress.
Yes, laughing pumps up feel-good Hormones, the ENDORPHINS. These are chemicals produced naturally by our Nervous System to cope with pain /stress. People who have lower levels of Endorphins can be more likely to suffer from depression. Regular Exercise, Yoga, Meditation, Laughing and eating Dark Chocolate can help in boosting its levels. While Endorphins are not a cure or guarantee for good health, boosting their levels might be an effective way for overall well-being.
Laughing also relieves muscular tension by stimulating circulation.
It improves breathing too! You know how? When you laugh, lungs get rid of stale air allowing more Oxygen to enter. Because, laughter helps Alveoli in Lungs to expand, so that the Oxygen exchange is more.
People usually say "Laughter is the best medicine." Well, it can't treat actual pain but it does have health benefits.
Laughing exchanges the Cortisol, the Stress Hormone, in our blood with the chemicals in-demand like Endorphins. Oxytocin etc..
Endorphins, as referred earlier, help in stress relief, improve immune system and cause feeling of pleasure.
Oxytocin creates a feeling of relatedness. It is considered as the "Bonding Chemical."
There's another Chemical called Dopamine, which enhances motivation, learning and attention.
When you're feeling stressed, the act of laughter can decrease the Heart rate and relax Muscle tension. Study says, a moment of laughter helps us to think more clearly and creatively.
Humour ...facetious...
