Photo '20 Ways' #12 Laugh all day: Research into the use of therapeutic humour tells us it has the power to motivate, alleviate stress and pain, and improve one's sense of well being.
Start laughing: it's reducing pain and allows people to retain more information!
Dr. William Fry, associate professor of clinical psychiatry at Stanford University, has studied the effects of laughter for 30 years. Fry compares laughter to 'inner jogging,' and claims laughing 100 times a day is the equivalent of 10 minutes of rowing (Fry, 1977, 1979; Fry & Salameh, 1987). According to Fry, laughter increases the heart rate, improves blood circulation, and works muscles all over the body.
