LAUGHTER – BEST MEDICINE
The vast body of jokes and anecdotes which relate to the medical profession, is perhaps a testimony to the psychological necessity of humour.
It is a well-known fact that health and cheerfulness mutually budget each other. We know now, that happy people get ill less often than those who are chronically miserable and anxious. Your mental attitude simply must be a hopeful one, and you must avoid worry at all costs. Worry can put you into a wheelchair with rheumatism and arthritis.
Research also shows that worry can even cause tooth decay! Unhappy feelings are known to bring about changes which upset the body’s natural calcium phosphorus balance, leading to cavities. And as for women, few things can age and affect a woman’s beauty as quickly as worry. It turns the hair grey, and in some cases, even make it fall out. It can ruin the complexion. And it can bring on all kinds of skin rashes, eruptions and pimles.
In contrast, those who se the bright side of life and remain optimistic are unlikely to go down with stress-related disorders.
It is of vital importance for those who take life too seriously to learn to laugh. Humour is at its best, its funnies when the person is down and out and yet trying to overcome his plight. Laughter is undoubtedly the best relaxant. French neurologist, Henri Rubenstein states in his research papers that even one minute of laughter can give the body upto 45 minutes of therapeutic relaxation. Laughter, it appears has much the same effect on the body as regular physical exercise.
When we laugh we secrete hormones that stimulate the heart and act as natural, painkillers. Stress is reduced calories are burned off and digestion is improved.
Laughter creates internal warmth. It relaxes and stimulates at the same time. And as it sends more oxygen to every cell in the body, laughter can also serve to speed tissue healing and stabilize many body functions, helping to strengthen them against infection and abnormal growth. Cheerful people, the doctors say, resist disease better than dejected ones.
