Laughter is the best medicine.
It helps to : * reduce stress, * lower blood pressure, * elevates your mood, * boost immune system, * improve brain functioning, * protect the heart, * connect you to others, * foster instant relaxation, and * make you feel good. Humor is essential to mental health for a variety of reasons: * Humor enhances our ability to affiliate or connect with others. * Humour helps us replace distressing emotions with pleasurable feelings. You cannot feel angry, depressed, anxious, guilty, or resentful and experience humor at the same time. * Lacking humour will cause one's thought processes to stagnate leading to increased distress. * Humour changes behavior – when we experience humor we talk more, make more eye contact with others, touch others, etc. * Humour increases energy, and with increased energy we may perform activities that we might otherwise avoid. * Finally, humour is good for mental health because it makes us feel good! There are also some social benefits of humour and laughter : # Laughter is the shortest distance between two people. # Humour unites us, especially when we laugh together. # Laughter heals. # Laughs and smiles are enjoyed best when shared with others. So in that case...... Next time you use a pair of rubber gloves, you're going to smile when you think of this: A dentist noticed that his next patient, a little old lady, was nervous so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put on his gloves. "Do you know how they make these gloves?" he asked. "No, I don't," she replied. "Well," he spoofed, "there's a building in Canada with a big tank of latex and workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their hands, let them dry, then peel off the gloves and throw them into boxes of the right size." She didn't crack a smile. "Oh, well. I tried," he thought. But five minutes later, during a delicate portion of the procedure, she burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" he asked "I was just envisioning how condoms are made!" Gotta watch those little old ladies! Their minds are always working!
