Happiness and Your Heart
Laughter may be good for the heart. Depression can have effects other than just the mood, potentially raising the risk of heart disease. Two studies spotlighting the connections between psychological factors and heart health are presented at American College of Cardiology.Laughing at a good joke, a funny situation or ourselves is also distracting. It is difficult to laugh and worry at the same time. Part of a healthy life style includes a place and a time for fun, for finding something funny and having a good laugh. It helps us enjoy friends and family. It diffuses stressful situations. It allows us the opportunity not to take ourselves too seriously; so have a laugh and live healthy (and if you come across a good joke, would you let me in on it!).
