A recent study showed that pre-school aged children laugh up to 400 times a day, but by the time we reach adulthood, the average person laughs only 17 times per day on average.

This, my friends is a laughing matter!

Laughter is indeed one of the greatest medicines known to mankind and a fantastic way to enjoy yourself more at work. The health benefits of laughter include strengthening the immune system, increasing our threshold for pain, more rapid healing and even reducing food cravings. Not to mention what laughter can do to reduce stress and enhance both our personal and business relationships.

Laughing is also a great physical and emotional release as we experience the renewed and refreshed feeling after a good laugh. Plus a good chuckle exercises the diaphragm, contracts the abs and even works out the shoulders, leaving muscles more relaxed afterward and it even provides a good mini workout for the heart. Can you think of a more fun way to get a little exercise?
