Laughter

Laughter is good for your health.  A study has shown that deep belly laughter triggers the release of endorphins which activate receptors in our blood vessels’ linings that signal the production of nitric oxide.  This powerful chemical causes blood vessel dilation, increases blood flow, reduces vascular inflammation and build-up of cholesterol plaque.  It decreases platelet stickiness, which lowers the risk of blood clots.  Did you know that anger and hostility rank at the top of the list of heart-harmful emotions?  So, the old saying, “laughter is the best medicine”, might just be true.  Laugh out loud, laugh till you cry, laugh to yourself or at yourself but make a habit of laughing everyday.  De Hart Plumbing, serving Manhattan Kansas, Junction City Kansas and Wamego Kansas.
