How is laughter the best medicine?

Laugh long and often - laughter is without question the most powerful medicine available. Recent medical research has confirmed that laughter enhances the blood flow to the body's extremities, and improves cardiovascular function, plays an active part in the body's release of endorphins and other natural mood-elevating and painkilling chemicals, boosts the immune system, and improves the transfer of oxygen and nutrients to internal organs. Here are seven tips that will help you have more laughter in your life:Learn to laugh at yourself.

Recognize how funny some of your behavior really is - especially your shortcomings or mistakes. We all have little idiosyncrasies or behaviors that are unique to us and that we can recognize and enjoy. Do not take yourself too seriously.

Inject humor any time it is appropriate. People love to laugh. Get a joke book and learn how to tell a good joke.

Humor and laughter really make life enjoyable. Read the comics, find one that you think is funny, and follow it every day or week. Watch comedies on television.

With modern cable systems, it is usually quite easy to find something funny on television. Go to see a funny movie with a friend. We laugh harder and more often when we are around others who are laughing.

Laughter is contagious; we feed off each other's laughter; and laughing together helps people build good relationships. Listen to comedy audiotapes in your car while driving. Check your local audio store, bookstore, video store, or library for recorded routines of your favorite comedian.

Play with kids. Kids really know how to laugh and play. If you do not have kids of your own, spend time with nieces, nephews, or neighborhood children with whose families you are friendly.

Become a Big Brother or Sister. Investigate local Little Leagues. Help out at your church's Sunday school and children's events.
