"The skeletal muscles(骨骼肌) relax and the overall result is better circulation to the muscles," says psychologist Michael Titze, chairman of Humor Care in Tuttlingen, Germany, and a researcher into laughter.
Laughing also helps to break down stress hormones and build up those associated with happiness. It also helps to increase the immune defenses in the bloodstream, including those that help the body protect itself from cancer and heart disease."Laughing, among other things, tenses the muscles in the eye and activates positive emotions in the brain," says Titze
The therapist therefore advocates trying to look for things that arouse laughter in daily life,thoughfor many people today.
"Laughing demands a bit of courage," says Claudia Madelaine Zimmer of a club in Leipzig devoted to laughing. To a certain degree, the discipline needed to raise children wears down the ability to have fun. People fear losing their authority by having fun or doing something interesting. However, people with humor not only live more healthily, they are also better at solving conflicts, she believes.
But because it's often difficult to have a good laugh, people all over the world are joining laughing clubs. Zimmer says such clubs meet regularly, and do "laugh yoga".The goal is to laugh without reason or inhibition. This seems artificial at first but with a bit of training people can learn to go into natural laughter from collective, intentional laughter. And because you can hardly think about it while in laughter training, the relaxation is greater than you expect.
