 The saying goes, “If I don’t laugh, I’ll cry or
laughter is the best medicine.” Behind the memes and jokes is people
doing what they can to feel better.

mind. There is scientific proof that laughter is good for our
mind-body and it activates our body’s natural relaxation response
and releases your own feel good hormone, oxytocin.

the body is flooded with harmful chemicals that will decrease your
immune system. [to top of second
