Laughing is the best way to keep the doctor away,

    Doctors say about 90% of diseases are related to stress and a hectic lifestyle. Fascinating research endorses the healing powers of laughter. Ancient Indian scriptures have long advocated the benefits of laughter therapy known as Hasyayog. Laughter is agood aerobic exercise. When you have a good laugh, you are actually deeply inhaling air, retaining it in your lungs and exhaling with force. Laughter can provide relaxation and has many health benefits.

Some experiments have confirmed that people with high BP showed drastic improvement after they participated in a laughter session. High BP may not be completely cured by it, but it can help in reducing medicine dosage.
Asthma and bronchitis: Laughter therapy is good for the lungs. It improves lung capacity and oxygen levels in the blood. Doctors recommend chest physiotherapy to bring out mucous (phlegm) from the respiratory passages. Blowing forcefully into an instrument or balloons is one of the common exercises given to asthma patients. Laughter therapy performs the same job, effortlessly. But laughter therapy causes discomfort for patients suffering from bronchospasm. A few asthma patients may experience irritation by performing any kind of workout. They should consult a doctor before practising laughter therapy. Infection is a common cause of frequent asthma attacks. Laughter therapy increases levels of antibodies in the mucous membrane of the respiratory passages, reducing frequency of chest infections.
