Laughter: The Perfect Exercise

Did you ever consider that laughter could be a perfect exercise for your organism? For the beginning, let's think about laughter as at a form of aerobic. If you laugh, you will start giving your diaphragm workout and you will also be able to use more oxygen. If you laugh from all your heart it is like you would do jogging, but just for the inside of your body. This is a good exercise and even better than any other if you can not afford or you are not allowed doing other types of exercise. Laugh does many thing at a time, like relaxing some muscles that you aren't using while laughing, improving your respiratory system and many more. Also, the lungs receive more air and they get to the result of a cleansing. If you went to a doctor and he prescribed you a diet and some exercise, you can add by your own initiative a laughter program and the results will come faster.  

Of course, it can not replace the diet and exercise but it will be of a lot of help doing a lot for your organism. It is said that laughter reduces blood sugar, but not even the researchers can tell why. On of the options would be that of forcing the abdominal muscles to use more energy or to affect the system and so, it reduces the level of sugar that your blood contains. There have been made some tests that proved that both for diabetics and non diabetics, the level of sugar in their blood is higher after reading something, but it is lower after a good dose of laugh. 

As written above, you have to understand that laughter will never replace physical exercise but it can easily be done as another type of exercise next to the physical one. Imagine when it is cold and cloudy outside, when it is raining, or as well when it is too hot for making exercise, than you need some laughter.
