According to statistics, every time you laugh, there are about 80 muscles from the face to the abdomen to participate in the exercise. Laughing 100 times is helpful to promote blood circulation and cardiopulmonary function, which is equivalent to rowing 10 minutes.
Japanese medical scientist Watanabe found in a health survey that most people who live long have more psychological advantages than ordinary people, one of which is to laugh often.
So, what are the benefits of laughter to our health?
Laughter contributes to beauty, and facial muscle contraction makes skin more elastic.
Laughter can strengthen the heart and brain, speed up the heartbeat, increase blood flow, enhance the body's myocardial function, stimulate the cerebral cortex to some extent, and enhance brain function.
Laughter can promote breathing, dilate the lungs, deepen and breathe evenly, and enhance the self-protection of cough.
Laughter can prevent diseases, relieve tension, relieve anxiety and stress, and help to treat mental disorders such as depression.
It is worth noting that although in most cases, laughter is the external expression of inner joy, the facial expression of laughter will in turn affect the mood.
When you enjoy yourself in pain, if you smile for a while, your mood will be better and you will give yourself more confidence in the face of difficulties. From a historical point of view, the enemy became a friend in a situation because of laughter.
It seems that the external smile will not only affect their mood, but also attract people around them. Therefore, sometimes in adversity, "forcing a smile" is necessary. Smile is a natural health care product. Therefore, if you want to live a long and healthy life, you must satisfy the happiness of life and live with a smile.
