How to laugh and last . . .
A spoonful of laughter makes the medicine go down! Is there anything to the old saying, laugh and last! Where does laughter reside in the brain? Can it really alter brain chemistry? Why does one person laugh when another doesn’t? Is there any evidence that laughter can improve one’s state of health? What’s the difference between having a keen sense of humor and laughter? Current research is providing answers to these questions and more. Studies show that laughter really is good medicine—good age-proofing medicine (e.g., it is an anti-aging strategy). It can also enhance learning and help with recall. And it’s free. Such a deal!
