Laughter Promotes Heart Health & Lowers Blood Pressure

Laughter is not only an effective stress-reliever, but can be heart-healthy, according to research presented today at the American College of Sports Medicine’s 56th Annual Meeting in Seattle. Two separate studies examined the role of a good laugh as it relates to health. One of the studies took an inverted approach to previous research on the harmful cardiovascular tolls of stress and negative mood. A small group of healthy adults were instructed to watch either a comedy or documentary film, and were monitored for carotid artery activity during the films.

Subjects who watched the comedy benefited from improved “arterial compliance,” the amount of blood that moves through the arteries at a given time. Conversely, decreased arterial compliance is often associated with high blood pressure and heart disease. “Arterial compliance was improved for a full 24 hours after subjects watched a funny movie,” said lead researcher Jun Sugawara. “Laughing is likely not the complete solution to a healthy heart, but it appears to contribute to positive effects.”

Husband has got into health food recently and yells at the wife as she’s on her way to the greengrocer -  “MAKE SURE IT’S ORGANIC!”

So the wife asks the clerk at the greengrocer -  “Are  these all organic?”, pointing to the shelves of vegetables on display.

New at the job the young clerk responds – “I’m not sure. What do you mean by ‘organic’?”

Loosing her patience the wife responds – “Listen, I’m buying for my husband and I need to know – HAVE THESE VEGETABLES BEEN SPRAYED WITH POISON?

“Oh no,” replied the clerk, “you have to do that yourself.”
