No matter what the reason for your laughter, whether from the extreme humor of an episode of ‘South Park’ or the subtle, cutesy humor of ‘Modern Family’, as long as you are laughing, you are doing your body good. Extreme humor is a fantastic way of relieving stress in an efficient, free and fun way. While laughter won’t cure all your problems, it’s a great way to get your body into a better feeling place.
Aside from the mental benefits that laughter provides, extreme humor can also help with some positive physical changes including the following:
1) Increase in blood flow and muscle relaxation which helps reduce the tension, cramps and other pains that are physical afflictions caused by stress
2) Extreme humor can increase in heart rate and your blood pressure thereby leaving you feeling relaxed
3) When you laugh from extreme humor you increase the production/release of hormones/neurotransmitters such as endorphins which help you feel good
Laughter also helps you feel a more fulfilling satisfaction from your daily life. You are able to look at things in a new way and have a positive outlook as opposed to feeling downtrodden or depressed. With extreme humor, you’ll find that you are more pleasant for others to be around and that more people will be drawn to you in hopes of feeling better about themselves.
Extreme humor has so many benefits that it’s worthwhile to take a few minutes out of your hectic schedule so that you can reap the rewards that one gets from laughter. Take the time to watch a funny clip on Youtube or read a hilarious comic strip in the paper. Whatever method you use to get your intake of extreme humor, as long as you are laughing or at least smiling, you can be sure that you’ll be increasing your quality of life and age expectancy.
