Laughter can be the best medecine according to a study by University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. The study has found that laughing may help prevent heart attacks and heart disease. There is even more possible benefit according to Geneticist Kazuo Murakami of Japan believes that laughter can trigger certain genes in the human body. His findings in a recent experiment show 23 genes that can be potentially activated, some of which are involved with the human immune response.
In a two-day experiment conducted by Murakami in Japan, blood glucose levels of diabetics were compared after a comedy show performed by stand-up comedians and after a monotonous college lecture. The experiment revealed lower glucose levels after the diabetics laughed at the comedy show in contrast to the lecture.
The question then becomes: Have you laughed today?
If so then why?
