Laughter: Brain Medicine!
Need an LOL?! Read Dinner with The Girls - then print it & laugh WITH Mom & your girlfriends!
‘The’ Betty used to keep a Reader’s Digest in the bathroom* – and, often, it was left open to RD’s feature, ‘Laughter is the Best Medicine.’ Laughter was, for Betty, both release and endeavor: Betty’s was a very Joy-filled household.
Well … turns out that, as in so many things, Betty was right: Laughter has been proven to increase healthy blood flow.
For the first time, scientists at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have gauged that laughter-provoking movies cause blood vessel tissue (the endothelium) to dilate and expand to increase blood flow. Stress-inducing movies caused vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow. The net/net:
Increased blood flow CAN reduce heart risk; hence, laughter really IS good medicine!
More important to Betty’s Love Families: Increased blood flow CAN also boost cognition!
Read more about the study – AND how Bach boost brains, too – in this article in The Irish Times.
