- Stress Management: Chronic stress affects immune, heart, and brain health. Techniques like mindfulness and socializing, as well as laughter, play significant roles.
Laughter, surprisingly, is more than just mood-lifting; it can serve as a natural cardio workout. Dr. Debinder Singh explains that hearty laughter engages facial muscles, elevates heart rate and blood flow, releases endorphins, and reduces stress—all contributing to cardiovascular health. Just 15 minutes of laughter daily can burn calories equivalent to a light workout, aiding weight management and stress reduction.
