We’ve said that being more positive could have a significant effect on your life expectancy, and what goes hand in hand with feeling happier? Laughter, of course! Laughter is good for you. Visit the comedy club, listen to a funny skit on social media. It’s all medicine for your soul and your mind. When you laugh more, you’ll be more positive too, so that is an excellent thing for your overall health. Laughter is the best medicine, as they always say! Is there any science to back this up? 

A study was conducted back in 2016, and it discovered that women who have a strong sense of humor had a 73% lower risk of death from heart disease – how incredible is that? They also found these women from the study had an 81% lower risk of death from infection. Maybe whoever said that laughter is the best medicine knew something that we don’t. Finally, these women had a 48% lower risk of death from all causes. It’s time we all start laughing more and lightening up a bit – life is short, and we should enjoy every moment.
