E:-}Greetings: & nbsp; Something to think about if you

are struggling with<BR>

pain today.<BR>

<BR>

A HEALTHY DOSE OF LAUGHTER<BR>

<BR>

I read that a child laughs 400 times a day on the

average, while<BR>

an adult laughs only 15 times each day. Which is

puzzling since<BR>

laughter feels so good and is so good for us!<BR>

<BR>

You may know the benefits of laughter on the mind and

spirit, but<BR>

are you aware of how much a good laugh can help you

physically?<BR>

Norman Cousins used to say that laughter is so

beneficial for<BR>

your body that it is like & quot;inner

jogging. & quot;<BR>

<BR>

Mayo Clinic (Mayo Clinic Health Letter, March 1993)

reports that<BR>

laughter aids breathing by disrupting your normal

respiration<BR>

pattern and increasing your breathing rate. It can

even help<BR>

clear mucus from your lungs.<BR>

<BR>

Laughter is also good for your heart. It increases

circulation<BR>

and improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to

tissues<BR>

throughout your body.<BR>

<BR>

A good laugh helps your immune system fight off colds,

flu and<BR>

sinus problems by increasing the concentration of

immunoglobulin<BR>

A in your saliva. And it may help control pain by

raising the<BR>

levels of certain brain chemicals (endorphins).<BR>

<BR>

Furthermore, it is a natural stress reliever. Have you

ever<BR>

laughed so hard that you doubled over, fell off your

chair, spit<BR>

out your food or wet your pants? You cannot maintain

muscle<BR>

tension when you are laughing!<BR>

<BR>

The good news is that you are allowed more than 15

laughs a day!<BR>

Go ahead and double the dose and make it 30 times

today. (You may<BR>

begin to notice immediate improvement in your

relationships!)<BR>

Then double it again! You are bound to feel better,

you will cope<BR>

with problems more effectively and people will enjoy

being around<BR>

you.<BR>

<BR>

Laughter: it's just good medicine!<BR>
