We know from research that laughter and joy boost immune functions, especially the production of the natural killer cells that help protect the body from illness and cancer. Laughter also increases the release of endorphins, it boosts energy, decreases pain, and gives you a sense of well-being. Plus humor is infectious, it binds people together and creates happiness and intimacy. Without a doubt, joyful people live longer and healthier lives.

So laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with them.

Surround yourself with events, activities, and people who bring a smile to your face and go ahead – just laugh out loud!

And just in time for summer…..
