Triple dare you actually - to laugh your head off! Well not literally but maybe so hard you pee yourself or at least tear up...Next time you are sitting with your DC or DH just start laughing - and see if it is contagious - a tests of sorts! I do this every now and then - save for the wetting myself - and it is fun! The kids will hear me laugh and come running. They always join in even when they have no idea why I'm laughing! It's great!
Solid scientific research demonstrates that laughter offers the following benefits:
Lowering blood pressure
Strengthening cardiovascular functions
Reducing stress hormones
Improving circulation
Increasing muscle flexion
Oxygenating the body by boosting the respiratory system
Boosting immune function by raising levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gamma interferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies
Triggering the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers
Producing a general sense of well-being
A positive link has been found between laughter and a healthy function of blood vessels with laughter causing the tissue that forms the inner lining of blood vessels, the endothelium, to dilate or expand such to increase blood flow.
So laugh it up and here's to great health - for His glory!
