Smiles – this is useful! What’s the secret?
In 1964, American journalist Norman Casingston conquered death with the help of laughter. He had a severe disease of bones and joints, he was bedridden. To raise his spirits, he always watched comedy films. At first he noticed that half an hour of good laughter dulled the pain for two whole hours. And after several weeks of “comedy therapy” the disease began to recede. And then he completely recovered, despite the fact that the doctors evaluated his chances of recovery as one to five hundred. Norman, after a miraculous recovery, organized a faculty for the treatment of laughter at Los Angeles University.
The use of laughter for a man is irreplaceable. From the point of view of physiology, this is just a breathing exercise, from a series of rhythmic expirations that perfectly fill the body with oxygen, and is a “massager”, since during laughter more than 80 muscles work. If you consider the work of the cardiovascular system, 20 seconds of pouring laughter equates to five minutes of lessons on the treadmill. Here’s the perfect trener!
A whole laugh-therapy was developed. Since the 1980s, the doctor Patch Adam has developed a program of using laughter in therapy. And now in many US hospitals I work clowns. An important property of laughter is the ability to reduce susceptibility to stress. If we analyze the emotional state of avid optimists, then we can say that such people see all adversity as a test that must be overcome (by the type of quest), and not tragedy. Such people are perceived by others as positive heroes. Some psychotherapists say that irrepressible laughter contributes to the development of antidepressants.
As a child, we laughed about four hundred times a day, involuntarily and for no apparent reason. And in adults, the smile appears twenty times less. And it’s not good. It is necessary to adjust yourself from the very morning to positive and laugh for a few minutes, remembering something pleasant. This will be a positive charge for the whole day.
Laugh at your health!{:}
