It comes from the idea that psychological forces in our brain can affect our physical health directly, both negative and positive.
We see evidence in research studies when people show improvement in health after taking a placebo (ineffective) drug after they are told the drug will work.
Another example of how your mind can affect your health is stress. Health conditions such as high blood pressure, stroke, and heart attacks have been scientifically linked to high levels of stress.
Research conducted by Dr. Lee Berk of Loma Linda University in California suggests, it is also a scientific link to reduce stress through laughter.
the results of the study showed that the level of stress hormones actually decreases with the anticipation of laughter.
Dr. Berk tested the levels of stress hormones in people after they were informed that they would soon see a funny video. He found that the levels of three different types of stress hormones decreased in subjects anticipating the funny video, reported Reuters .
"Our results lead us to believe that the search for positive experiences that make us laugh we can do a lot with our physiology to stay well," said Dr. Berk
of other studies have suggested that laughter has other advantages -. including reduction of blood sugar in diabetics, the increased activity in the immune system, and helping heart health, reported Indianapolis Star .
However, evidence that laughter really is good for your health is not defined. Unfortunately, doctors can not prescribe to watch a funny movie or a favorite sitcom to cure the disease. But laughter can help you feel better
