My classmates think I laugh TOO much, but is there such a thing as 'too much laughter'? Believe it or not, laughing is actually quite good for you. According to my friend, if you laugh for 3 days straight, it would equal to 2 days of non-stop hardcore workouts. According to my other friend, laughter can give you abs. Whether these facts are true or not, I have no idea coz if I laugh for at least 5 minutes straight, my cheeks and stomach start to hurt and I have to stop coz I can't breathe.
When I laugh, I'm only giving myself a workout. Apparently, laughter works out the diaphragm, abdominal, respiratory, leg, facial and back muscles. Imagine all the stretching and exercise I'll have to do if I don't laugh and want to keep my diaphragm, abdominal, respiratory, leg, facial and back muscles in shape!
Laughing is also healthy. It lowers the blood pressure and increases the response of tumour and disease killing cells. So technically, by laughing, I might become healthier than someone who rarely laughs. Laughter also increases vascular blood floor and helps oxygenate the blood.
It's also beneficial to students. A study carried out by John Hopkins University Medical School proved that laughter increases memory and learning. It also improves alertness and creativity.
This proves that laughter is good, so the next time someone tells me off for laughing, I will state all these facts and pwn them :)
