Laughter is a pleasant physical reaction that involves rhythmic, often audible contractions of the diaphragm and other parts of the respiratory system. It can be a manifestation of joy, mirth, relief, or anxiety. Usually, laughter is a response to humorous stimuli (see humor).
Studies have shown that people who laugh more are less likely to die of a heart attack or other cardiovascular diseases. Laughter also reduces stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies. It also stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals.
In addition to the social benefits of laughing, research has found that a little laugh each day helps strengthen a person's sense of humor and self-confidence. This makes it easier for people to express their emotions and deal with stressful situations without becoming overwhelmed or depressed.
Practicing a little laughter each day improves a person's ability to identify and react to a variety of humorous situations, according to studies. This may help them communicate better and build stronger interpersonal relationships.
Having a strong sense of humor is important for success in the workplace. It can make you a more confident employee and help you develop your own ideas about work and life, explains psychologist Michael Szczepaniak.
Laughing is also an effective coping mechanism, as it releases tension built up during negative experiences and can help alleviate depression and anger. It is also a helpful tool for dealing with difficult people and stressful events, says psychotherapist Sigmund Freud.
