Laughter is healthy.
Screw the gym, come see CounterClockwise Comedy perform. You’ll literally laugh your ass off. :-)
From The Telegraph:
Full StoryLaughing intensely for an hour can burn as many calories as lifting weight for 30 minutes, scientists have found.
Laughter gives the body a “mini aerobic workout”, they believe.
It causes the heart to beat faster, sending larger amounts of blood around the body.
Laughing out loud also makes the chest rise and fall, which in turn means that stomach muscles have to work harder, which can help to tighten them.
The act of laughing can even help the skin, by using up to 15 facial muscles, helping to give the face a work out.
Laughing can also bolster the immune system, aiding the body to fight off infections like coughs and colds.
