Laughter as therapy

The virtues of humor and laughter therapy were already recognized in biblical times, as written in the Old Testament prov.17:22 'A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.'

There is strong evidence today that laughter can actually improve health and assist in fighting disease.These days humor and laughter are regularly used in a diverse number of therapeutic situations.

Research has established that humor has the power to motivate us in our wellness pursuit, that it can alleviate stress and pain, and generally improve our sense of well-being. This has resulted in the expression "Laughter is the best medicine."

Who would have thought that in this world of medical breakthroughs, miracle drugs and medical technology, a readily available and 'no-cost' item like 'laughter' would be recognized along highly sophisticated drugs, as such a phenomenal benefit to our health and well-being.

A multitude of research projects have been conducted on the medical benefits of humor and laughter to the body. What they concluded after numerous experiments, and backed by scientific data, that laughter has profound benefits to our health.

A study by the Foundation for Advancement of Internal Science. Bio-Laboratory in Japan found that laughter helps regulate gene expression, assisting in the control of type II diabetes, which because of the escalating incidence of diabetes in today's society is an extremely important discovery.

This means that if we were a happier motivated individual, the gene that causes type II diabetes possibly never would be expressed. Although laughter more than likely will not replace insulin, it could be the key in helping prevent the disease.

Studies also show that laughter has a positive effect on rheumatoid arthritis, not only affecting the level of condition, but also providing psychological benefits by controlling stress, and stress related conditions.

The most significant discovery however, published by S.
