Reduce
Your Stress through Laughter
 A
study conducted in 2006 identified an interaction between the brain, behavior
and the immune system. It was found that simply anticipating an experience of
laughter has the ability to boost health protecting hormones. These same
researchers have now found two years later that anticipating a positive laughter
experience also reduces stress hormones that are believed to be detrimental to
your health. Dr. Lee Berk, the study’s lead researcher at Loma Linda University,
Loma Linda California, stated that "Our findings lead us to believe that by
seeking out positive experiences that make us laugh we can do a lot with our
physiology to stay well."
