The Power of Laughter for Stress Relief
Why Humor Helps
Laughter is a natural stress reliever. It triggers the release of endorphins, your body’s feel-good hormones, and reduces cortisol levels. In the U.S., laughter therapy is even used in clinical settings to help patients cope with stress and anxiety.
Incorporating more humor into your life, whether through funny movies, books, or spending time with friends, can have an immediate positive impact on your mood and stress levels. Laughter truly is the best medicine.
