For the respiratory system, laughter can dilate the lungs, and people will take a deep breath unconsciously, clean the respiratory tract and make breathing smooth. When people laugh, they can absorb more oxygen into the body. With the blood flowing smoothly all over the body, every cell in the body can get enough oxygen.

Thoracoabdominal breathing can discharge residual gases and other metabolites in the lungs and inhale more fresh air to supply oxygen needed by various organs and improve or enhance organ functions. Deep breathing can make people's chest and abdomen muscles and organs exercise to a greater extent, inhale more oxygen, spit out carbon dioxide, strengthen blood circulation, and help relieve fatigue and relax mood.
