Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the fol-lowing:lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart,especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise.So in life,when you can laugh,you should laugh loudly and with your entire body-because it's good for you.
