This should be just as important as what they eat and the exercise they take. Laughter can be a safety valve for us. A pressure cooker has a safety valve, and if the steam gets too much it blows. The same is true with our hearts, so a good laugh on a regular basis could help regulate out heart. If heart disease is directly related to the body’s ability to cope with stress, anger, and all the hormones produced as a result of those emotions, then it should stand to reason, that the counter effect of stress and anger would be laughter.

The opposite effect should be felt on our bodies, even our hearts, blood vessels, and other bodily functions. So, the next time you begin to feel those "raging" hormones being released; stop, find a funny picture, watch a funny video, or just watch your children at play; humor will find its way into your emotions, and rather than experience a heart attack you might find yourself experiencing a laugh attack. Not only will your heart thank you, but so will your family and co-workers!
